Curt Schilling thinks shirt threatening to lynch journalists is ‘awesome’

The former Sox ace continues to be highly political on social media.

Curt Schilling is making waves on social media once again, tweeting his approval of a shirt that advocated the lynching of journalists.

The former Red Sox ace tweeted (and later deleted) a photo of a T-shirt with the slogan, “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some Assembly Required” worn at a Trump Rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota Sunday. Schilling also added his own commentary, saying, “Ok, so much awesome here…” in reference to the shirt.

 

Until recently, Schilling was a member of the mainstream media, serving as an ESPN analyst until he was fired in April for posting inappropriate messages on social media. He now serves as a radio host for right-wing news site Breitbart.

When questioned about the post by baseball writer Jonah Keri, Schilling said people should be more offended by Benghazi than a “smart a** shirt.”

 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Zazzle, the website where the shirt was designed and sold, removed the clothing item from their marketplace.

 

These bitter folks with an audience in front of them are making the best use of Freedom of Speech. One these days these deplorables will follow up on their hating rethoric. Remember the terrorist that killed people in Colorado at Planned Parenthood over fake bby parts video?

That's just stupid, really. He no longer wants any kind of news?

If he's planning to run for office, why would he want people to think he's an idiot before hand? Looks like another candidate who needs his twitter taken away.

Also, the Republican party is fucked. People like this are going to continue to alienate members and potential members who value integrity.

So here's the thing, Curt Schlling is actually a moron.

He's planning on running against Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, so it will at least be fun to watch him get crushed.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
