Baldasaro, who co-chairs Trump’s veteran coalition, told MassLive.com Tuesday that he believes the media misinterpreted his comments.

Trump adviser Al Baldasaro clarified for the record Tuesday that he doesn’t think Hillary Clinton should be assassinated, but rather thinks she should be shot by firing squad for “treason.”

Baldasaro, who co-chairs Trump’s veteran coalition, told MassLive.com Tuesday that he believes the media misinterpreted his comments.

“The liberal media took what I said and went against the law and the Constitution and ran with it, and they said that I wanted her assassinated, which I never did,” Baldasaro told The Republican/MassLive.com. “I said I spoke as a veteran, and she should be shot in a firing squad for treason.”
