24-year-old man from Ohio has been charged in a federal court after tweeting a threat to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump on election night.
Zachary Benson, from Fairview Park in Cleveland, posted the remark on Twitter a few minutes before the Republican nominee was declared the winner of last week's election.
Benson tweeted: 'My life goal is to assassinate Trump. Don't care if I serve infinite sentences. That man deserves to decease (sic) existing.'
Seconds earlier he tweeted: 'Diplomacy. F***ing fools. I hate you all. I want to bomb every one of your voting booths and your general areas.'
Benson was arrested a few hours later and interviewed by the Secret Service. (snip)
Benson made his first appearance in court yesterday and is thought to be in custody, pending a bail hearing.

Liberals are extremely violent. They have assassinated every President to date.

These people think this way because of the MEDIA propaganda, brainwashing, and inciting this behavior. The Media are accessories to crimes, and need to be held to account. Until they are, this will continue.

I guess his career as an Aaron Rodgers impersonator was going nowhere.

It is sad we are seeing lots of this.
Would be better to go through all the levels of grief before engaging in bad communications on the Internet for all to see.
I only hope they are banned for life from voting.

Trump is already helping to get these nut cases and potential terrorists off the street. And he’s not yet President.

They only do that with unknowns. If someone like Beck or Tingles or any other liberal personality they’d get away with it.
