Secret Service Investigating Trump Adviser For Hillary Clinton Comments

One of Donald Trumps most vocal supporters, a New Hampshire representative who goes by the name of Baldasaro, has recently suggested that Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton be shot and killed for treason for her involvement in the recent email scandal.

Baldasaro’s comments, seemingly, brought the attention of the United States Secret Service. The Secret Service, concerned with his remarks, announced that they are “aware of this matter and will conduct an appropriate investigation.”

Baldasaro, who considers himself to be a prominent advisor to Donald Trump, was recently in the news when Donald Trump complained about the media coverage of his pledge to assist veterans organizations across the United States. Al Baldasaro, a former United States marine, came to Trump’s defense and spoke at an event while praising Trump for his policies towards helping military veterans.

Recently, however, Baldasaro has shown up in the news for making inflammatory remarks concerning Hillary Clinton. He was quoted as saying that “Hillary Clinton should put in the firing line and shot for treason” while speaking on a conservative radio show.

When interviewed about his disparaging comments concerning Clinton, Baldasaro has said that he has no regrets for what was said during the radio show. He responded by saying that “As far as I’m concerned, it is treason and the penalty for treason is the firing squad – or maybe it’s the electric chair now.”

Trump’s campaign came out and has said that they “do not agree” with Mr. Baldasaro’s remarks. While they denounced his comments, the campaign stopped short of mentioning any reprisal or action against Mr. Baldasaro.

Throughout the course of the campaign season, the Trump camp has seen their fair share of controversies. Earlier in March Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was caught on video assaulting a reporter from a news station who was covering an event. He was later charged with simple battery.

In other instances, there has been a recurring trend of violence taking place at Trump campaign rallies. A list, provided by Slate.com, details such attacks. These acts of violence range anywhere from simple assault to pepper spraying to throwing eggs.

While these incidents are certainly alarming to anybody following the recent election, they do provide much-needed entertainment given the monotony of politics. So, America, get your popcorn and prepare yourself for more outrageous remarks, fights, and mud-slinging coming to a place near you this November.
