GOP Legislator Says Hillary Should be ‘Hung’ on National Mall for ‘Treason, Murder’
On Friday night, a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates tweeted that Hillary Clinton ought to be publicly “hung” outside the United States Capitol in Washington D.C.
Michael Folk is a United Airlines commercial pilot and representative of Berkeley County. Last night, he gave quite the description about what Clinton should get at the National Mall for her “treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution.”
@HillaryClinton You should be tried for treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution… then hung on the Mall in Washington, DC

WOAY TV reported that Folk’s implications have earned him concern from both his constituents and from the FBI. His original tweet has received plenty of criticism for demanding that Clinton receive capital punishment.

Still, Folk’s follow-up tweets indicate that he won’t be walking things back any time soon.
