A Los Angeles Times reporter who said that he wanted Donald Trump dead won’t be covering the election — or much of anything else, really — for a very long time.
Steven Borowiec, a freelance journalist who worked for the paper in South Korea, was fired after a tweet surfaced showing him saying, “I would rather see Donald Trump’s life end.”
The tweet was deleted (which, as you know, always solves every problem).
However, the Los Angeles Times confirmed to TheBlaze that he had been terminated for the disgusting statement. “Earlier today, Steven Borowiec, a freelance journalist in South Korea, posted a tweet about Donald Trump on his personal Twitter profile that violated our professional standards,” the statement read.
“The Los Angeles Times is committed to fair, evenhanded coverage of the presidential campaign, and expects all journalists representing the paper, including non-staff contributors such as Mr. Borowiec, to adhere to this standard in their articles and social media posts. We regard Mr. Borowiec’s comment as inexcusable, and we have ended our relationship with him.”
Borowiec later apologized, saying that the tweet was “in jest.” Yeah, that one usually doesn’t work, either.
Generally, wishing death upon major party candidates (or for that matter, even minor party candidates) is what’s typically known as a “red flag” in the whole employment thing. It’s especially bad when you do it on social media so that everyone can see it.
However, it’s hardly a surprise to us. After all, a recent poll concluded that far from the emissaries of love and peace they think themselves to be, Hillary Clinton supporters are actually the intolerant ones.
In the poll, conducted by Pew Research, 58 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters said they would have a “hard time” respecting a Donald Trump supporter. That’s compared to only 40 percent of Trump supporters who said the same thing about Hillary Clinton.
We’ve seen violence, firebombings, stolen yard signs, all from the basket of intolerants that Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has assembled. Steven Borowiec is one of them, and it cost him his job.
I also wouldn’t count on getting another one any time soon, Steven.
Hey Mr. Gorowiec, always remember: Don’t be a hater!
Wishes like this and the editor of Ebony wishing Trump supporters dead encourage Clinton’s lonatic followers until something like this becomes inevitable
Trumps been threatened by drug cartel kingpins worth billions, corrupt Democrats, Republicans, celebrities, globalist, gangsters, sports geeks, Muslims from Ustinkistan, ISIS, and now LA TIMES reporters!
That's okay I'm sure Glenn Beck will hire Steven Borowiec into the failing organization!!!
“Not really. She’s ancient and very sick, so that’ll work itself out. I’d be perfectly contented seeing her locked in a cell for the rest of her life.”
Well, I’m a “fundamentalist!” If she had the opportunity she’d drop all of us “deplorables” in a shallow grave and have the bulldozer cover us up. So, that being the case, I look forward to a similar fate for her and her whole “Crime Family.” When someone is responsible for as many deaths as they are, praying for their “departure” is a good thing in my book.
No, actually. Check your own mirror.
Conservatives tend to cry out for justice. Progressive communist socialist collectivist liberals tend to cry out for murder and death.
There's a difference.
Yeah but I would say we have a few more thousand reasons for it....: )

Looks like he wears mascara, as well.
“Conservatives tend to cry out for justice.”
That’s all I’m doing. The Real Justice I’m “crying for” would be the execution of both of the Clintons, after a proper trial OR they could just be “called home by their Maker.” Either way is acceptable.
He’s got “killer” eyes.
