A high-ranking BBC presenter from the UK has ignited a firestorm by suggesting President Biden should have Donald Trump murdered.
, who presents Radio 4's"Briefing Room" show, caused an uproar with a now-deleted X post reading,"If I was Biden, I'd hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security."
He threw in the hashtag #SCOTUS ... tying his comment in response to the Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling. The 6-3 ruling granted Trump immunity for any"official acts" during his presidency. However, the decision didn't clearly define what qualifies as an"official act" ... but it broadly considers everything a president does in the course of business.
Aaronovitch's comment was met with a ton of backlash ... with critics slamming it as a breach of his workplace's rules on employee impartiality. There’s now a far right pile on suggesting that my tweet about the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity is an incitement to violence when it’s plainly a satire. So I’m deleting it. If nothing else though it’s given me a map of some the daftest people on this site.He wrote a follow-up X post, clearly frustrated by the reaction his initial comment received ... explaining he deleted it 'cause people interpreted it as inciting violence rather than seeing it purely as satire.
