'Two words... firing squad': Oklahoma Republican appears to call for Hillary Clinton to be EXECUTED

An anti-Muslim Oklahoma State Representative has hinted at executing Hillary Clinton in a bizarre Facebook post.
John Bennett, a Republican seeking re-election in the state's second District, made the comment in response to a right-wing blog post about the Benghazi attack in 2012.
'Two words... firing squad,' Bennett wrote in a post that has since been deleted.
After deleting the comments, Bennett claimed he was being 'sarcastic' in a text message he sent to the Oklahoman
However, he went on to accuse Clinton of treason, which is punishable by death.
'She has committed nothing less than treason by leaving fellow Americans to die in Benghazi,' he said. 
'If anyone else had done that they would be charged with treason and thrown under the jail at a minimum, and a firing squad likely.' 
Many were critical of the post before it was deleted, according to KFOR

'Isn’t it treason to threaten the life of a presidential candidate? You, in effect, you wished for her death and laid out the means
of her execution,' one person wrote on Facebook.
However, the network found other disgusting comments that have since been deleted supporting Bennett's suggestion. 
'No firing squad. That would be too good. A public hanging would be well suited for her,' one person said. 


Bennett's Facebook page is littered with anti-Muslim comments and articles he shared from right-wing blog sites. He was also anti-abortion rights for women, and posted a number of bible verses.
In another post, he proudly displayed his letter of endorsement from the NRA. 
The Republican created controversy in 2014 when he said any Muslim who follows the practices of Islam should not be trusted, while also comparing followers of the religion to Nazis.

You think every German was a Nazi? No, they weren’t. But what happened with the Nazis was that once they got in power, all those Germans that sat quiet or were scared to say anything had no choice but to follow and support what they were doing,' he said.
'So is every Muslim bad? No. but if they subscribe to Islam and what it teaches, and if they’re not standing up and condemning what Islam teaches, then they’re just going right along with them, just like the Germans did when the Nazis were around,'
Bennett is hoping to be re-elected in Sallisaw next week.
