That doesn't change what he said, but it does show there was pressure enough to remove him from his position.

A local Arkansas GOP official who recently said that Hillary Clinton would “probably get shot at the state line,” if she runs for president in 2016 resigned from his post today after facing criticism for his remark.

The official, Johnny Rhoda, who chaired the state Republican Party organization in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District, stepped down today, the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party told ABC affiliate KATV.

It all started when U.S. News reporter David Catanese asked Rhoda about Clinton’s prospects in Arkansas as a potential 2016 presidential candidate.

“She’d probably get shot at the state line,” Rhoda said, according to the U.S. News interview, adding: “Nobody has any affection for her.”
