Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, who is challenging President Trump in the Republican primaries, proclaimed Monday that the president committed treason through his controversial phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky -- adding that the punishment for treason is death.
The statement drew a swift rebuke from the Trump campaign.
“The media’s affliction with Trump Derangement Syndrome has driven them into an actual discussion of the proposed execution of the President of the United States,” communications director Tim Murtaugh told Fox News. “In severe cases of TDS such as this, immediate consultation with a physician is recommended.”
Weld was responding to claims that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden -- the son of former vice president and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden -- and threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine as leverage. Trump has denied wrongdoing.
“Talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control a U.S. election, it couldn’t be clearer. And that’s not just undermining democratic institutions, that is treason," Weld said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "It’s treason pure and simple. And the penalty for treason under the U.S. Code is death. That’s the only penalty.”

Bill Weld could face housing in a mental institution with too many comments like this...
One Sick puppy.
I thought Democrats and the AOC’s of the world were the crazy ones...
Does anyone doubt at all that the DNC has infiltrated the GOP?
He must be hitting the bottle again.....
This does it! Weld’s candidacy is OVER!
Wait.........
This proves the dumbass is unfit to be President. Treason consists of giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war, or of making war against the USA.
Did I miss something and we declare war on Ukraine?
More idiots trying hard not to be elected president.
More like The Bong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW really..execution for having a phone call..wow dont know who this Weld idiot is but he sure is a brain dead moron
Total insanity!
Bush League Republicans are Democrats in R jerseys.
Anyone who advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens is also supporting a permanent Democrat majority.
RE: Bill Weld suggests Trump could face execution over Ukraine phone call
How about Joe and Hunter Biden Bill?
Boy, a statement that'll pickup Republican votes for sure! Well done!
What a dumbass...
Bill Weld wants to get on Meet The Depressed
and the other lefty TV talk shows.
Oddly, I doubt if Weld was asked by Morning Idiot whether that reasoning would extend to the Democrats conspiring with Fusion GPS, or with Biden pressing to have Ukraine drop the investigation.
And he's wrong. The penalty for 18 USC 2381 treason is ...
shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
He’s not crazy anymore than any globalists are cray. This includes the Bush family and Mittens and the Koch brothers (whoever of which are still alive).
This is an attack on the USA and should be prosecuted like wars are supposed to be prosecuted.
So what does Weld think should happen to Hilldog? She actually violated national security laws and regulations.
