Ray Buckley, the chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, issued a statement on July 20, 2016, calling Baldasaro was an embarrassment to the state.

On Wednesday, Baldasaro doubled-down on his statements, telling WMUR.com he was glad that his comments on the radio had gone viral.
It is not enough to simply beat Hillary Clinton, an adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign said.
The former marine made headlines in 2011, when he said he was disgusted by an out marine who asked a question of President Obama and Mitt Romney about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell during their presidential debate, and praised those in the audience who booed Stephen Hill for saying he was gay.
‘I’m a veteran that went to Desert Shield, Desert Storm, ‘ Baldassaro said in his radio interview on WRKO in Boston.
New Hampshire House Speaker Shawn Jasper, a Republican, said Baldasaro’s comments in no way reflect the views of the chamber. “When you take information on a server, that’s a non classified server, classified info, and you’ve got names of American CIA, Secret Service, ambassadors or whatever and you’re sharing that out there, you’re giving the enemy information”, Baldasaro said.
“This whole thing disgusts me, Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason”, he added. “Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason”. In the military, shot, firing squad. It’s totally wrong. She’s not above the law.
The adviser, Al Baldasaro, is a Trump delegate and co-chair of Trump’s veterans coalition, and appeared with Trump recently to rebut allegations that Trump has stiffed veterans groups on millions of promised donations.
“Baldasaro’s well known at the State House for being blunt, a style that he brought to his campaigning for Trump the past year”.
At one point Trump stepped aside and let Baldasaro speak.

He repeated the incendiary comments to the NH1 network, while stipulating that he was speaking for himself and not for Trump’s campaign. If you saw the event live, you’ll recognize Baldasaro.
