A West Virginia lawmaker said Saturday he regrets tweeting that Hillary Clinton should be “hung on the mall in Washington, D.C.,” as punishment for her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
But Michael Folk, a member of West Virginia’s House of Delegates, said he still believes Clinton should be tried for treason after an FBI investigation determined she handled classified information on the server. The FBI recommended earlier this month that charges not be brought against Clinton or her staffers.
“I do think she should be tried and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Folk told CNN Saturday. But as for being hanged, he said, “No, my gosh
On Friday, Folk had tweeted, “@HillaryClinton You should be tried for treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution… then hung on the Mall in Washington, DC.”
The remark met with swift backlash.
“Not only are Delegate Folk’s words concerning, they are disturbing. The mention of hanging and implication of murder should never, ever be acceptable. To think that a person in a leadership position in our state can say these types of things is baffling and should not be tolerated,” West Virginia Democratic Party Chair Belinda Biafore said Saturday. “Folk’s actions should deem him as unfit to serve and Speaker Tim Armstead should take action if Folk doesn’t resign.”
Folk, a commercial pilot, is employed by United Airlines, and the company tweeted on its official account that it was “investigating” the remark.
LOL, I like proper English as well, Ben.
See post 11
Huma probably wishes she was hung.
The proper word is hanged.
He should write it out 100 times "Hillary Clinton should be hanged on the mall in Washington, D.C ."
LOL, again!
“What? Oh, I meant she should have her portrait hung on the Mall. Her Portrait!!”
Sorry, but your grammar police thing is cute by half. We all know what he meant.
It's the exact words of an English professor when I was in college.
He wanted you to remember the proper usage.

I would pay to take a swing at her bloated and rotting body with a big stick.
West Virginia. But his heart is in the right place.
The fact that Hillary Clinton can commit crimes against the United States without punishment proves that we now have royalty in this country.
Folks, that makes us serfs.
That makes our children and grandchildren serfs.
Some of my ancestors were serfs.
I was born a free man.
I will not go back to being a serf for the Democrat Party Royalty.
I'll second that motion.
Hmmm......I think I want to listen to —— Take me home, country roads
He should regret it. The correct word is “hanged”.
Kudos to the West Virginia patriot!
Hang her before she can hang us.
satan protects his children until he doesn’t need them anymore. She be one of Cain’s offspring, a descendant from satan’s innards.
Royalty my ass. She is devil’s spawn, reptilian to be more specific.
Or tied to an old car at Knob Creek this summer.
Coming from a lawmaker, I thought that a painting of her should be hung. It didn’t cross my mind that a lawmaker would suggest she be physically hanged.
I think she should be stood up against a wall, with dull bullets used.
