WV Republican calls for Clinton to be executed
The employer of a West Virginia lawmaker says it’s investigating after he said on social media that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be publicly executed.
Delegate Michael Folk, R-Berkeley, tweeted to Clinton late Friday afternoon that she should be “should be tried for treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution... then hung on the Mall in Washington, DC.”
United Airlines, which employs Folk as a commercial pilot, tweeted that they are looking into the situation.
“We are definitely aware, and are investigating this,” the airline responded to a Twitter user who asked them about it. “Thanks for letting us know.”
Folk said Saturday that he wrote the tweet after watching a video of Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah,, head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, ask Charles McCullough, the inspector general of the intelligence community, to see classified emails Clinton is alleged to have had on a private email server. McCullough explained that he couldn’t show the emails to Congress without getting permission from the agency that owns the information.
Folk said if a private person had done what Clinton did they would be put in prison -— which contradicts what FBI Director James Comey said on July 5 when announcing the decision not to charge Clinton.
