House candidate Joshua Black, who called for President Obama to be hanged, resigns from Pinellas GOP
By Peter Schorsch on January 21, 2014
Joshua Black, a Republican candidate for the Florida House who said that President Barack Obama should be hanged, has resigned from the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee.
On Monday Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it should be noted Black (who is African-American) enthusiastically agreed with a supporters suggestion that the president of the United States of America be tried for non-specific treason and then executed via hanging.
Blacks comments were immediately rebuke from politicians from across the state, including Governor Rick Scott and Florida GOP chair Lenny Curry.
On Tuesday, Scott resigned his membership in the Pinellas GOP, according to party chairman Michael Guju. Black was a precinct chair in the PCREC.

Just some speculation on my part...
