Joshua Black, a Florida Republican candidate for the House has taken Obama hate to a new low by calling for President Obama to be tried for treason and hung for war crimes.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, Black called for President Obama to be hung,
“I’m past impeachment,” Joshua Black wrote on Twitter. “It’s time to arrest and hang him high.”
The tweet caught the attention of Chris Latvala, a Republican candidate for House District 67.
“You aren’t seriously calling for the killing of Obama are you?” Latvala replied. “I know you are crazy but good heavens. U R an embarrassment.”
Latvala added: “I make it my business when so called GOP candidates become an embarrassment to my beloved party.
Black later doubled down on his comment with the claim that Obama should be convicted of treason for a drone strike that killed a U.S. citizen, “He should be executed for treason. I think the appropriate punishment is death. They killed Benedict Arnold. (Obama) shouldn’t be allowed to kill Americans without a trial.”
Black’s background is that he is a taxi driver who is running for the House on a platform of getting rid of cameras in red lights, also he now wants to hang President Obama. As Latvala pointed out Black is most definitely crazy, but the really disturbing part of this story is the number of Republicans who agree with him.
