Michael Folk, West Virginia lawmaker: Hillary Clinton should be "hung" - CBS News

A republican lawmaker and American Airlines pilot has some strong opinions and choice words to share regarding Hillary Clinton. Apparently, he tweeted that she should be hung at a national mall over the email scandal.

Sorry, but saying stuff like that is extreme, inflammatory, and will only bring about problems for someone working in government. American Airlines was quick to express their disapproval of his message as well. Wonder what else is in store for him.

Freedom of speech is an important value that we work hard to protect. But it doesn't mean you are immune from the fallout. Besides, he should know better than anyone that there is a system of regulation for people like HC, and there is the system for everyone else. And he is everyone else.

I see you are one of the many, that truly believe the Clintons are indeed, better than you, and everyone else.

End of your nose, brown much?

I think he would get in trouble for saying any person should be publically executed.

No. I merely suggested that there is a double standard when it comes to people like HC. The email scandal is strong evidence of this. Do you disagree?

He is employed by United Airlines, not American Airlines.

I would not knowingly board a flight where he was the pilot given his has demonstrated an inability to control his reactions and poor professional judgment.

I am not a Hillary or Trump fan.

I understand pointing out that he was a (R) politician but what is the point in noting he was an American airlines pilot?

He was employed by the airline and the airline issued a rebuke. If the airline hadn't made a statement, then there wouldn't have been a reason to note it.
