Former butler to Donald Trump investigated by Secret Service for 'racist threats' to President Obama

 

The secret service is investigating a Donald Trump former butler for racist and death threats aimed towards US President Barack Obama on Wednesday. Mr Senecal Anthony 84, who worked for Trump for 17 years at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida until 2009, wrote in his Facebook:

“To all my friends on FB, just a short note to you on our pus headed “president” !!!! This character who I refer to as zero (0) should have been taken out by our military and shot as an enemy agent in his first term !!!! Instead he still remains in office doing every thing he can to gut the America we all know and love !"

The Secret Service said it “will conduct the appropriate investigation.”
Also, Trump’s campaign has come out to condemned Senecal’s rants
“We totally and completely disavow the horrible statements made by him regarding the president,” the campaign said in a statement.

Senecal, confirmed in a phone interview to CNN on Thursday he wrote the post, but disputed one point, "I think I said hung."

"Either way, I don't care. Hanging, shooting -- I'd prefer he'd be hung from the portico of the White House, or as I call it, the white mosque,".

"Does it sound like I'm nuts? Because I'm not," he said. "I've just gotten fed up with him

“The US Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation,” Secret Service agency spokesman Robert Hoback said in a statement.
