“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation”, Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback told NBC News in a statement Wednesday. The US Secret Service is investigating a Trump advisor who reportedly said that Clinton should be shot.

“This whole thing disgusts me, Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason”, Baldasaro insisted.
“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”, Raymond Buckley told the TV station.
“I’m calling on (state Republican Party Chair Jennifer Horn) to repudiate his unsafe and divisive remarks and to publicly ask for his resignation”. “And when Trump talked about his support for veterans in the final Republican debate before the primary, he name-checked Baldasaro in front of 13 million viewers”. Trump has even declared Baldasaro, a Marine Corps veteran, his “favorite vet”.
Baldasaro was referring to the September 11, 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi that left the USA ambassador and three other Americans dead.
If you thought Donald Trump’s campaign couldn’t get more despicable, it just did in a MAJOR way. That message is followed up with a quote from Ronald Reagan reading, “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference”.
“All the Liberals who are attacking me, have no clue on what was actually said”.
Baldasaro was first elected to represent Londonderry in 2006 and is now serving his fifth term.
Here’s Trump appearing with Baldasaro two months ago. Some of his constituents say Baldasaro’s outspoken nature is exactly why they like him. What makes her any better than people in the military? Baldasaro did not return repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press but told the Boston Globe on Wednesday he stands by his comments “without a doubt”.

He also praised America’s freedom of speech which has enabled him to speak his mind, but added that Clinton is not above the law. He asked Baldasaro if he thought the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee bore responsibility for those who died in the 2012 terrorist attack on a USA compound in Benghazi, Libya.
