Former Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider and recent runner-up on The Masked Singer has called for the execution of President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
After being revealed as Donut on the singing reality show and finishing in second place on Wednesday night (December 20th), Schneider shared the following tweet: Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider.
The since-deleted post was in response to Bidens tweet about former President Donald Trump, in which he wrote, Trump poses many threats to our country: The right to choose, civil rights, voting rights, and Americas standing in the world. But the greatest threat he poses is to our democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything.

If anyone who is not famous posted something like that, they'd be getting a visit from the FBI or Secret Service. Apparently we live in an age where "anything goes", well at least for some people.

Also.......I believe the "No tongues!" line was from Young Frankenstein, Madeline Kahn to Gene Wilder when he tried to kiss her.

(1,915 posts)But it was very suspicious when the judges somehow narrowed their guesses to the actual masked singer. I mean, they could tell that giant Furry was Terry Bradshaw? Really.
Recently I checked the show out again out of boredom and saw the over the top fake hysteria, and blazing lights, and shrieking audience, and judges overacting their "shock"...no thanks!
The judges are just as lame has-beens as the contestants, IMO.

(22,689 posts)There is no safe level of lead in our blood.
Your childhood, your mother and your career exposed you to leaded gasoline and heightened levels of lead in your blood. I'm no doctor, but we all know Pb inhibits normal brain function. Outbursts, like your Tweet however, just bears it all out there. Your exposure has turned into dangerous obsession, just as it did for workers who worked at Dupont's lead plants in the mid-1920s.
You should immediately have your blood tested for abnormal lead levels. Unfortunately, it's a disease with no cure. But you should recognize that what you are experiencing as your reality isn't what others with lower lead blood levels would. Seek help!

(3,710 posts)but it did have had some actors of some distinction working on it (Sorrell Booke, Denver Pyle, James Best, e.g.). I couldn't watch it today, but it was the perfect Friday night entertainment for me as a 12-year-old. And when it was over that meant Dallas was up next!
Of course, none of that excuses a death threat against the CIC, so there's that.
TSExile
(2,639 posts)I was born the year the show premiered, and still have memories of watching it when it was originally on (and the folks always watched Dallas and Falcon Crest right after). My mom even bought me a General Lee Matchbox car, and I had a nightie with "Luke" and "Bo" on it. Up until a few years ago, I still liked to watch the reruns. It was a fun, escapist show I liked to watch with my dad.
Since 2016 though, and all the racial connotations, I cannot look at Dukes of Hazzard the same way. I really did like John Schneider. Such a handsome man, and as you said, an excellent singer. He did have some success on the Billboard charts (mostly the country charts) while Dukes was originally on, and could have conquered Broadway (his co-star Tom Wopat did for a time). His cover of "It's Now or Never" is actually my favorite version of the song.
It seems that his long-running marriage collapsed around the same time T**** hit the political scene. Not saying that was what soured things, but after that he really came out hard as a magat. His most recent wife passed not long ago and he has been very open on social media with his grief. I am sorry for his loss, but what he said about President Biden is inexcusable. I really hope he won't use his grief over his wife to justify it.

Caliman73
(11,764 posts)Treason how? Where has President Biden taken up arms against the United States? Where has he given comfort and aid to enemies of the United States?
It is just so stupid and lazy, these accusations made by has been right wing celebrities, and I am including the idiot running for president on the GOP side in that.
Treason in the legal sense, is a very specific charge, clearly defined. Treason in the colloquial sense also implies doing something explicitly meant to harm your country
I can completely defend President Biden's comment about the threat that Trump poses to the country. I can go point by point on what President Biden said and defend each one with at least a couple of paragraphs or information and evidence. I seriously doubt that these idiot former celebrities can defend their point with anything other than, "I don't like him" "Communist" "Socialist" "Fascist" etc...

(6,621 posts)I am always sad when bad stuff is revealed about those fan favorites that you grew up with.
It's one thing to be MAGA, and an idiot, but quite another if you actually call for the hanging of two individuals that have not committed a crime. Just because Biden is POTUS. Can't reach POTUS through his son, so execute them both. That's pathetic.
John Schneider has/had a really good singing voice. In particular, one year long ago he had a Christmas special that was really, really good. I always wondered why he didn't pursue a more active singing career, because he had the chops for it. Instead, he pops up every now and then in some minor SF movie. I was always glad to see him, but I find it shocking that he would call for Biden and his son to be lynched. Did he really say that??
What a shame. Can never look at him the same. Nothing he does now will erase that.
TSExile
(2,639 posts)I actually have a few of his songs on my iPod and I still love his cover of "It's Now or Never". He and Tom Wopat actually released a Christmas album about a decade ago that was pretty good.
kwolf68
(7,366 posts)Damn actors. Shouldn't they just shut up and act? Or sing such as this guy can or cant? To top that off we have a pro lifer calling for the murder/execution of a President who has been found guilty of nothing. These people are deranged, unhinged and no longer have any ability to partake in anything remotely resembling intellectual discourse.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-hampshire-man-indicted-threatening-kill-three-presidential-candidates
According to the charging documents, Anderson sent a series of threatening text messages to three separate presidential campaigns going back to November. On Nov. 22, Anderson threatened to impale and disembowel one candidate. On Dec. 6, Anderson threatened a second candidate in a series of text messages, including that he would blow the "head off" of the candidate and conduct a mass shooting. On Dec. 8, Anderson threatened via text message that he would blow the brains out of a third candidate and kill everyone who would attend a then-upcoming campaign event.
Anderson faces a maximum of five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 for each charge. A federal district court judge will determine a sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
