Dan Adamini, former chair and current secretary of the Marquette County (Michigan) Republican Party tweeted that anti-Trump student protestors should be shot to death, as they were at Kent State. He indicated that a single death might be sufficient to end student protests this time around.

“I’m thinking another Kent State might be the only solution protest stopped after only one death,” he posted on Facebook on Thursday. “They do it because they know there are no consequences yet.”

The county's GOP chair responded to the threat by saying, "“I’m not on Facebook,” he said. “I never look at it … I think it should be outlawed.”

Please send a clear message to the GOP that Americans of all stripes will not tolerate violence in retaliation for the exercise of free speech.
