Al Baldasaro Repeatedly Called for Clinton’s Murder, Is ‘Disgusted’ by Gay U.S. Soldiers
Republicans are falsely claiming “leftists” are the ones who are using violence and violent rhetoric but that did not stop the Trump administration from having one particular New Hampshire state lawmaker attend a veterans’ bill signing Friday in the White House. GOP Rep. Al Baldasaro, who has a history of offensive behavior, last year said Democratic presidential nominee “Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.â€
Baldasaro had told a local radio station, “anyone who takes information about our CIA or Secret Service and people at our embassy and puts it out on a server where anyone can grab it, putting Americans in danger to be killed, should be held accountable.”
“As far as I’m concerned, it is treason and the penalty for treason is the firing squad – or maybe it’s the electric chair now,†he added.
Baldasaro not only repeated his remarks, but repeatedly refused to apologize.
The Secret Service reportedly investigated, and the White House could have refused to allow him entry.
Baldasaro was a Trump campaign advisor, a Trump delegate, and the co-chair of Trump’s national veterans coalition, a group that mainly gave Trump cover to appear as if he were supporting veterans.Â
Baldasaro’s hateful rhetoric extends far beyond Clinton.
After Army Capt. Stephen Hill was booed at a Republican presidential debate in 2011, Baldasaro piled on, saying he was “disgusted” by Hill, ThinkProgress reported. He added, “when the shit hits the fan, you want your brothers covering your back, not looking at your back.”
Also that year, as lawmakers including Baldasaro considered same-sex marriage for the Granite State, ThinkProgress’ Zack Ford recorded these comments from Baldasaro during the bill’s debate:Â
It’s not normal. I disagree. So because I disagree with something that was pushed down my throat, I’m supposed to roll over because, Representative, you think it’s normal? I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong person. […]
What about being disrespectful to sister-sister that love each other? Sister-brother? Sister-mom? Incest? …Are we discriminating against all them? What about the Muslims now? Everyone’s praising the Muslims. They’re killing us. What about them? They want three, four wive? We’re discriminating against them! […]
I wanted to make sure everyone understood here that this legislature sold the rights of $10,000 per kid under Title IV E, when they said that homosexual couples — not married — could adopt. […] We sold each kid to a homosexual couple that’s not married for $10,000.
It’s unclear what checks were used to screen invitees to the President’s bill signing Friday.
