https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/05/calif-gop-official-tweets-image-of-hangman-executioner-ready-for-hillary-thats-at-least-the-third-such-incident/?postshare=2001470405483903&tid=ss_twIn July, a Republican lawmaker from West Virginia escalated the rhetoric, tweeting that Clinton should be tried for treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution then hung on the Mall in Washington, DC. He later said the tweet was meant to be hyperbole, according to the Associated Press.
Also in July, a Trump delegate said on the radio, Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason, referring to her handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi. (Its worth noting, the Trump campaign said they dont agree with the comment.)
Now, a California county GOP official has sent tweets insinuating that Clinton should be executed.
In response to a Twitter user asking where to obtain a Republicans for Hillary sign, two tweets came Wednesday from the Riverside County GOP official Twitter account.
Both depicted a bloodied hangman holding a noose, with the words Im Ready for Hillary printed at the bottom. The second included a caption, referring to the Republicans for Hillary signs: sorry they never arrived but this is pretty popular.
