The rocks these people crawled out from under, need to be firmly replaced.
A New Hampshire state representative and advisor to Donald Trump's presidential campaign doubled down Tuesday on his incendiary calls last month that Hillary Clinton should be executed for treason.
But Al Baldasaro, who co-chairs Trump's national veterans coalition, blamed the "liberal media," a frequent target of the Trump campaign, for misrepresenting his language.
"The liberal media took what I said and went against the law and the Constitution and ran with it, and they said that I wanted her assassinated, which I never did," Baldasaro said in an interview with the Republican/MassLive.com.
"I said I spoke as a veteran, and she should be shot in a firing squad for treason," he added.
Reports published at the time quoted Baldasaro as saying Clinton should be shot by firing squad for her use of a private email server while she was secretary of State, not that she should be assassinated.

(69,731 posts)get a visceral reaction when I see these type headlines. This has to stop but I do not know how it will stop when leaders in our country just close their ears to it. Trump really should publicly condemn this type of dangerous nonsense. And it is dangerous.
