Social media accounts for Florida House candidate call for Obama's execution

Pin this one to your memory blocks. I guarantee that if the same thing happens to a sitting Republican president, the response from the authorities will be different.

Two separate social media accounts for the campaign of a Florida House candidate are calling for the execution of President Barack Obama.

The first post was made via Twitter around 5:30 p.m. Monday. Republican candidate for Florida House District 68 Joshua Black, whose campaign Twitter handle is @JoshuaBlack2014, retweeted a statement that read "I'm past impeachment. It's time to arrest and hang him high." The person operating the account then added the word "Agreed."

Republican candidate for House District 67 Chris Latvala noticed the tweet and added his own opinion to the discussion.

"you aren't seriously calling for the killing of Obama are you? I know you are crazy but good heavens.U R an embarrassment," @ChrisLatvala wrote on Twitter, adding in a separate tweet that Black needs to "go take [his] medicine."
