Ohio man charged with threatening to kill Trump on Twitter

Posted on November 18, 2016 by Xordac Prime

A 24-year-old Ohio man faces up to five years in prison for allegedly tweeting that he wanted to kill President-elect Donald Trump, a message the government says he tweeted in the early morning hours after Election Day.

Zachary Benson’s tweets and Twitter account have been deleted. He was apparently none too happy that the Republican candidate won. According to the government, he tweeted, “Diplomacy. Fucking Fools. I hate you all. I want to bomb every one of your voting booths and your general areas.” About 20 minutes later, at 1:42am EDT, he allegedly tweeted again: “My life goal is to assassinate Trump. Don’t care if I serve infinite sentences. That man deserves to decease existing.”

Benson was released Thursday on a $20,000 unsecured bond (PDF) after being arrested (PDF) on November 10. He is accused of violating a criminal section of the law that makes it illegal to threaten the president or president-elect.
