Arkansas GOP official Johnny Rhoda has resigned over some recent comments he made with regard to former First Lady and potential future President Hillary Clinton.
If Clinton ran for president, Rhoda said, "She'd probably get shot at the state line. Nobody has any affection for her. The majority don't."
After the inevitable backlash, Rhoda defended his commentary, saying, "That comment was taken way out of context. It certainly was not meant in a threatening or hostile way at all. It was just a comment. Perhaps I used the wrong word."
Yes, in Rhoda's mind, what he was simply saying was this:
"Look - if Hillary Clinton runs for president, and she even tries to enter this state, she'll probably get shot. She's not wanted here! Nobody likes her here! She should stay the hell out! I'm not saying she'll get shot here as a threat or anything; I'm just sayin', you know? It's simply a comment. If Hillary Clinton steps inside this state while running for president, a guy - maybe me - will probably shoot her. So, take that as a warning, Ms. Clinton! If you enter our state, we may shoot and kill you! Just remember - that's not a threat; we're just sayin'. No offense."
