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.
I bet Hillary is in that half of the lesbian population who wish they were hung. I think he meant to say “hanged”.
When I saw the heading, I thought the piece was about Bill. But Monica put the lie to that myth.
Hah!
She’s going to have the addadictomy operation in public?
The problem is that comments like these promote the Narrative that poor Hillary is a Victim of unwarranted attacks from the Republicans.
He should have just stopped after calling her actions Treasonous. We all know what the punishment for Treason is.
I’d prefer to have her see the onlookers cheering and applauding as the trap door opened.
“...hood over her head... to ensure no grotesque facial displays...”
- perhaps the hood is long overdue... whether hanged or not
Folk for President!
I think that event could bring some transparency and integrity back to DC, following of course a swift treason trial. We could do a double and hang her sweetie right beside.
Gallows Road in suburban Virginia seems more like the place.

Meanwhile, negro democrats can run around all day long threatening the lives of white police officers...
