Stephen A. Crockett of The Root is reporting that on the national day of reflection for Martin Luther King’s birthday, an African-American Republican candidate for Florida House District 68 took to Twitter to demand that the president be hanged for war crimes, the Tampa Bay Times reports. Joshua Black, a former street preacher, wrote the following:
“I’m past impeachment,” and then “It’s time to arrest and hang him high,” on Twitter.
Crockett writes:
“‘You aren’t seriously calling for the killing of Obama are you?’ Chris Latvala, a Republican candidate for House District 67, asked Black on Twitter. ‘I know you are crazy but good heavens. U R an embarrassment.’
Hours after the tweet, Black was standing firm on his statement and he doubled-down on his social media message defending his comment on both Twitter and Facebook.”
