A St. Petersburg-area candidate for the Florida House of Representatives Monday called for hanging President Barack Obama for treason.
Citing an Obama-ordered drone strike that killed an unarmed civilian, Joshua Black, a candidate for House District 68, announced first by Facebook and then by Twitter: “I’m past impeachment. It’s time to arrest and hang him high.”
We’ll let Black tell his own story from his website:
He goes on to explain that he moved to St. Pete in 2007 and got involved in the local Republican Executive Committee. The 31-year-old drives a taxi, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
First, he posted this at 4:30 p.m. yesterday.
Then he got into a back-and-forth with another Republican, incumbent Rep. Chris Latvala.
His Facebook page has an explanation for the Obama comment:
There is also other conservative weirdness, including a pitch for a website called Babies Are Murdered Here and rants against vaccination and Froot Loops. That’s right — Froot Loops.
Godspeed, Josh.
