BBC presenter David Aaronovitch tweets 'if I was Biden I'd hurry up and have Trump murdered' after US Supreme Court ruling - before deleting 'satirical' post amid backlash

A BBC radio presenter has sparked anger after saying that US President Joe Biden should have Donald Trump 'murdered'.

David Aaronovitch, who presents Radio 4's Briefing Room show, took to X/Twitter yesterday: 'If I was Biden I'd hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security #SCOTUS'.

Critics claimed Mr Aaronovitch had broken the corporation's rules around employee impartiality.

However, he stressed the post was 'satirical' before he deleted the tweet 90 minutes later blaming a 'far right pile on'.

It comes after the US Supreme Court ruled that former US presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, extending the delay in the Washington criminal case against Trump on charges he plotted to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss and all but ending prospects the former president could be tried before the November election.

In a historic 6-3 ruling, the court's conservative majority, including three justices appointed by Trump, narrowed the case against him and returned it to a trial court to determine what is left of special counsel Jack Smith's indictment.

Spectator columnist Steven Barratt wrote on X/Twitter: 'Impartiality' may not be in the best of health at the BBC…'

A second person said: 'This post alone is bad enough but even worse when you remember that David is a BBC presenter.'

Another person urged him to delete the post and said: 'Delete this tweet David. You advocating murder, publicly, and think it is ok .'

The US, our former republic, has no allies in Western Europe.

Biden said last week, “it’s time to target Trump”.

‘If I was Biden I’d hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America’s security #SCOTUS’

He wasn’t the only one with those sentiments.

Is there any way the Secret Service can take this BBC presenter to Gitmo and waterboard him until they are sure he is not part of a conspiracy in this shooting?

“Critics claimed Mr Aaronovitch had broken the corporation’s rules around employee impartiality.”

oh, so it would be ok if Aaronovitch also suggested Trump should arrange for Biden to be murdered?

FakeMSM basically ignored the Aaronovitch incitement to violence, just as they ignored Biden saying just days ago that it’s time to put Trump in the “bullseye”.

no condemnation here:

He's full of it.

The left always say what they mean and then claim it was all *just a joke* when they get the predictable backlash.

The actual quote was even more threatening. Particularly since he knows many of his dwindling supporters are disturbed nutcases:

“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

A pretty obvious stranger to sanity.

Only problem, nothing about his post was satirical.
