On Monday, Don King, a senior banker with BNP Paribas, came under fire after an online threat calling on ISIS to rape and behead Melania Trump went public.  After the tweet was issued, he made his account private and said his Twitter feed had been hacked.

Here’s a screen capture of the original tweet:

He later claimed his account was hacked:

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

This isn’t the first time the incoming First Lady has been the target of liberal hate.  As we reported Sunday, a liberal protester was seen with a sign calling for her to be raped.

Jim Hoft noted the obvious: “Could you even imagine if someone posted this tweet about Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton?”

We don’t need to imagine.  We already know…

Exit question: Where’s the Secret Service?
