W.Va. lawmaker: Hillary Clinton should be “hung” on National Mall

CBS News

A member of the West Virginia House of Delegates is causing a stir after tweeting that Hillary Clinton should be “hung on the Mall in Washington, DC.”

CBS affiliate WOWK-TV reports that Michael Folk, a Republican legislator who is also a United Airlines pilot, posted a tweet Friday night saying: “Hillary Clinton, you should be tried for treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution… then hung on the Mall in Washington, DC.”  

Folk told the station that he posted the tweet over the FBI’s decision not to charge Clinton over the investigation into her private email server.

The tweet, which has since been deleted, drew a swift rebuke from his employer, United Airlines.

“We are appalled by comments advocating harm to any person,” said airline spokesperson Mary Clark. “They do not represent United Airlines and we are looking into the matter further.”

Folk’s tweet also sparked a backlash on social media.

olk, however, seemed to defend his comments with a follow-up tweet that links out to an article on Clinton’s email probe.

According to WOWK, the West Virginia Democratic Party is calling for Folk’s resignation.

“Not only are Delegate Folk’s words concerning, they are disturbing. The mention of hanging and implication of murder should never, ever be acceptable. To think that a person in a leadership position in our state can say these types of things is baffling and should not be tolerated,” said WVDP Chair Belinda Biafore. “Folk’s actions should deem him as unfit to serve and Speaker Tim Armstead should take action if Folk doesn’t resign. It makes me very worrisome for the people of West Virginia that someone who can feel this type of hate and use this type of rhetoric is in any position of power.”

    Commie Core education, Danny boy?

    You obviously have no clue of the definition of a threat, peabrain.

  2. I wonder how long its gonna take Mr. Folk to accidentally shoot himself in the back of the head with a nail gun and commit suicide.
    Especially after that statement.
    I think he should forward that memo..to.
    Lynch,
    Commie,
    Hey…that kinda has a nice ring to it.
    Maybe Billary will just have a couple of family members knees capped and be nice.

  3. “Hillary Clinton should be “hung on the Mall in Washington, DC.” ”

    Doors and pictures are “hung”. People are “hanged”, and any member of the West Virginia House of Delegates should know that.

  4. “Not only are Delegate Folks words concerning, they are disturbing”., said WVDP Chair Belinda Biafore. In other words, “We want to bury this thing so the Queen can assume her throne.”

    Indignation, when people want to have her hung, she stays on the front page. Expect carnage to swallow the media soon as Hillary keeps popping
    up, caught in her “spider web” of decades of lies.

    Another insane terrorist attack, huh? No, it’s just insane people drunk with money and power. “Well, where should we wreak havoc today?” Seattle, Minneapolis, how about another gig in Boston? “Here, let’s see where the plane tickets say were goin’ today!”

  5. “@MichaelFolk34 Wow, & u should be disqualified from public service. In fact, u should be in jail 4 threatening the life of a POTUS candidate”

    Why is the POTUS candidate a god or something? I’m so sick of everyone treating a POTUS candidate as though he or she is the POTUS when they are just a NORMAL person like you or I and haven’t even earned the title POTUS yet.

    Just because they are a POTUS candidate doesn’t mean they get the full escort and privileges of being the POTUS. In addition to that, even if he or she is the POTUS, who gives a shit about telling that person to hang for treason.

    1. It’s called FREEDOM OF SPEECH, you piece of shit!
    2. SHE’S A TRAITOR TO HER COUNTRY, you DUMBASS!!!

    That means she committed treason and that means the punishment for treason is death in any country.

    So if a guy is advocating to hang the bitch, he is well within his free right and authority to do so because that’s what you do to traitors!!!

    SO KISS MY ASS!!!!

    And seriously, this is HITLERY we are talking about here. The only person that literally cares about Hitlery Clinton is HERSELF! So what the F**K are you whining about?

    Unfrigginbelievable………

  6. ““Not only are Delegate Folk’s words concerning, they are disturbing. The mention of hanging and implication of murder should never, ever be acceptable.”

    Only to Commie trash like you!

    Save your Commie rhetoric for someone who gives a shit!

  7. “It makes me very worrisome for the people of West Virginia that someone who can feel this type of hate and use this type of rhetoric is in any position of power.””

    Oh really? You haven’t been to Washington DC, have you?

    And besides, you’re probably one of them cowardly types who get scared if someone who’s frustrated says, “I’m so angry, I can just shoot someone.” and then you to get them fired.

    Go hide under a rock if you’re that scared and timid. I remember this country having bigger balls and yours evidently DON’T belong here. EVER!
