Trump Campaign Renounces Ex-Butler Over Calling For Obama’s Execution

Donald Trump‘s campaign did a bit of damage control last night in response to the uncovering of several disturbing online posts written by the mogul’s former butler.

In a collection of screenshots compiled by Mother Jones, Anthony Senecal was shown to have expressed extreme views about various groups and political figures, which he topped off with a post about how the military should’ve shot President Obama as an “enemy agent” during his first term in office. The Secret Service said they will be looking into this matter, but the Trump campaign has issued it’s own response to Senecal’s post:

Aside from working for Trump directly, Senecal also served as the unofficial historian and butler at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Senecal emphasized that his words don’t speak for his boss, but that he still stands by them.
