Baldasaro called Clinton a disgrace for lying to the families of the four men killed in Libya and for her use of private email servers while secretary of state.
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.
The Secret Service recently told reporters that they learned about the accusations and they started an investigation into the matter.
In an interview with The Daily Beast hours later, he repeated the charge.
A Donald Trump advisor said Hillary Clinton should be put in a firing line and shot for treason. If true, it would put her father’s agenda closer to that of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, than others in his party.
Republican Presidential Nominee, Donald Trump has blamed Hillary Clinton, Democratic Presidential nominee for the rise of ISIS.
“I would never wish on anybody to be shot”, he said. “As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America First, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect. That’s my view. Nobody is above the law”. But she also said Clinton should address the trust issues head-on. “I served 22 years in the Marine Corps. This will all change when I take office”.
On Wednesday, Baldasaro doubled-down on his statements, telling WMUR.com he was glad that his comments on the radio had gone viral.
But some voters say there is nothing Clinton could say to win them over.
Veterans groups called the comments offensive. “It’s ridiculous, and it goes against all military values and what we believe”.
The RNC organizers and the Trump campaignhas not commented on the merchandise.
“Donald Trump’s overtaking of the Republican Party – and his constant escalation of outrageous rhetoric – is in danger of mainstreaming the kind of hatred that has always been relegated to the fringes of American politics where it belongs”, Jennifer Palmieri said.

In a prime-time speech that lasted more than an hour and that was heavy on criticism of his Democratic rival, Trump offered a few specifics on what he would do if elected president – big tax cuts and a simplified tax code, renegotiated worldwide trade agreements, tighter immigration policies and an infrastructure plan that he said would create millions of jobs.
