The U.S. Secret Service confirmed that it would “conduct the appropriate investigation” of the matter, but Baldasaro said on Thursday that the agency had not yet contacted him.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN the campaign “does not agree with those statements”.
New Hampshire House Speaker Shawn Jasper, a Republican, said Baldasaro’s comments in no way reflect the views of the chamber. Baldasaro did not directly threaten to kill or harm Clinton, but he did say that she was treasonous and should be shot.
In a recent poll done by OANN/Gravis where they asked 40% Dems, 33% Republicans and 27% Independents who they would vote for, Donald Trump won with flying colors. “Hillary Clinton to me is the Jane Fonda of the Vietnam”, Baldasaro told the Jeff Kushner Show in comments first noticed by BuzzFeed. Baldasaro called for Clinton’s assassination and referred to her as a “piece of garbage”.
The Secret Service is investigating a New Hampshire state representative and Trump campaign adviser who said Hillary Clinton should be executed for her handling of classified emails.
“Discover what real Donald Trump thinks about people like you”, posted Clinton on her Twitter account, encouraging people to visit the new app.
At the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next week, Clinton would officially be nominated as the party’s presidential nominee for the November general elections.
At one point Trump stepped aside and let Baldasaro speak.
Baldasaro made national news two months ago when he stood behind Trump at a news conference at Trump Tower in New York City, where the candidate pushed back against reporters’ questions regarding money Trump said he raised for veterans.
In a four-way match-up, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump were tied at 37 percent apiece, with Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson at 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 5 percent. Baldasaro said he agreed with the T-shirts’ sentiment, and Clinton should be held to the same standards as others in government and the military who are losing their jobs due to minor violations compared to what had committed.

“I am your voice”, Trump said, embracing his often inflammatory, no-holds-barred populist style.
