Donald Trump (Photo: Twitter)
A columnist with the New York Times caused a social media stir with a tweet that joked of the billionaire businessman’s assassination.
“Good news guys,” wrote Ross Duothat in his tweet, as found by Infowars.com. “I’ve figure out how the Trump campaign ends.”
He then included a link to a YouTube video of the 1983 movie, “The Dead Zone,’ a flick that features Christopher Walken as a character who tries to shoot to death a politician played by Martin Sheen. Sheen’s character uses a human baby to shield himself from the assassination attempt.
Twitter users were quick to respond to Douthat.
One wrote, Infowars.com noted: “My respect for you has plummeted. You’re an embarrassment. Advocating an assination [assassination] attempt on @realDonaldTrum? @DouthatNYT.”
And another: “@DouthatNYT maybe time for you to take a break.”
Yet one more: “@DouthatNYT Dude, you’re making [expletive] assassination jokes?”
