Trump Adviser Who Called For Hillary Clinton To Be “shot For Treason” Gets Invite To The White House

On the same day that the White House demanded Johnny Depp apologize for his comments joking about the assassination of Donald Trump, the president hosted a former campaign adviser who called for Hillary Clinton to be “shot for treason.” Republican New Hampshire State Rep. Al Baldasaro “was sitting in one of the first two rows in the audience” in the East Room on Friday during a signing ceremony for a law promoting accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to a White House pool report.  Waiting for @POTUS to speak hanging out with a hard charging Navy man @ShoebobCarey #MAGA pic.twitter.com/JmpdjFmqpi — Rep Al Baldasaro (@Al_Baldasaro) June 23, 2017 Baldasaro, an adviser to Trump on veterans affairs during the campaign, came under Secret Service investigation last year after he called for Clinton to be “put in the firing line and shot for treason” for her handling of the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Trump campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks later said the campaign was “incredibly grateful for his support, but we don’t agree with his comments.” While Trump himself continued to shower his adviser with love publicly. “He’s a very fine person,” Trump said of Baldasaro.
