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.
