In an interview with Breitbart News at the Cleveland convention, New Hampshire State Rep. Al Baldasaro, who has been an adviser to the GOP presidential nominee on veterans’ issues, called the coverage of Melania Trump’s speech “a disgrace”. He appeared on “The Kuhner Report” on Boston radio station WRKO on Tuesday. She dropped the ball on over 400 emails requesting back up security.

“Al Baldasaro’s comments that Secretary Clinton should be “put in the firing line and shot” are disgusting, offensive and frighteningly commonplace in the party of Trump”, Buckley said. “I believe Hillary Clinton committed treason”. “What he’s saying is no different than the situation during World War II”, Baldasaro said, “when we put the Japanese in camps”.
“When you take classified information on a server that deals with where our State Department, Special Forces, CIA, whatever in other countries, that’s a death sentence for those people if that information gets in the hands of other countries or the terrorists”, he said. “She should be held accountable and in the military, treason is a firing squad”, Baldasaro said.
The theme of the last two nights has been less “Make America Safe Again” or “Make America Work Again” and more ‘Lock Her Up.’ But some of Trump’s most diehard supporters want to go further – they want her to be executed. “So I stand by what I said”.
Update: New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley on Wednesday afternoon called on NHGOP Chairwoman Jennifer Horn to ask that Baldasaro resign from the New Hampshire House.
