Suspended HHS official shared post saying 'our forefathers would have hung' Obama and Clinton
Source: The Hill
A Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) official already on leave over comments insulting Islam and spreading conspiracy theories also reportedly shared an image last year saying that our forefathers would have hung" former President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for treason.
Ximena Barreto, a deputy communications director at HHS, was placed on leave last week after Media Matters reported that she had in 2016 promoted the Pizzagate conspiracy theory and said Islam was a f---ing cult, not a religion.
On Friday, CNN reported other posts from Barreto, including retweeting in 2017 an image of Obama calling him a Muslim terrorist, and tweeting that he is a pansy and a traitor.
Barreto also furthered the conspiracy theory that Clinton was behind the death of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, using the hashtags #KilledByTheDNC #HillaryBodyCount #ClintonBodyBags. Last May, she retweeted a photo of Obama and Clinton with the text Fact: Our forefathers would have hung these two for treason

(18,635 posts)...it's not like he's 200 years too late. She can still present it because the standards haven't changed since then, and Sessions would love to see it. Of course she has nothing but his personal disdain.
I have a feeling her real issue has nothing to do with her concern for the country. She probably meant to say "lynched and burned at the stake", but felt constrained by political correctness. So yeah, treason.

(57,097 posts)Ximena Barreto Poway, California I was born in Bogota, Colombia and came to the country in 2006. It's a bad period for the States, too many homeless. America, it's not a safe place anymore. Too much immigration. If you do not have a visa in Mexico you go in jail, but not here in the States. Illegals will be feed and they'll give them a house, too. And with my taxes! Many companies moved to Mexico, the taxes there are lower than here and we are losing many job opportunities. Trump is a genius with money; he has more than 500 companies. He's saying what people want to say, but they are afraid to say!

Do try to keep up Ximena. It gets a bit boring for the rest of us having to rehash arguments that our great-grandparents already settled.
