All we get is crickets chirping from the media. Ted Kornblum is the founder and CEO of Magnatone Guitars and Amplifiers:

I can't wait until he gets a visit from the Secret service

A typical p.o.s. whiney lib who now that he sees the disaster this is going to be for his company is all about being sorry and it won't happen again. You libs are one sick group of people. I mean really sick....

Quote:The founder and CEO of guitar amplifier maker Magnatone has apologized for a Facebook message about the potential assassination of President Donald Trump.

In his Facebook post yesterday, Ted Kornblum apparently wrote the following: “Rest easy people, it’ll take only 100 days till Trump gets a bullet in the head!”

Kornblum reportedly followed up that message by posting what appears to be an image of Travis Bickle, the political assassin portrayed by Robert De Niro in the iconic movie Taxi Driver next to Trump.

Ted Kornblum of Magnatone followed up his original Facebook message with the following apology.


“Earlier today a frivolous, insensitive political post went out on Facebook.vIt should not have. Magnatone is not a political organization, respects the beliefs and opinions of all people, and does business accordingly. I personally share these values of our brand. I sincerely regret this careless mistake, and apologize to anyone, anywhere, who may have been offended. I can assure you this will not happen again. Thank you.”


Note: The Magnatone Facebook page appears now to be offline



Unfortunately, the Facebook post is hardly the only example of social media speculation or threats of a Donald Trump assassination.

Shortly after the presidential election, for example, the CEO of tech firm PacketSled resigned his position after taking to Facebook to threaten to kill the then-president-elect with a sniper rifle. He quickly apologized for what he described as a “flawed joke.”

A Dallas high school teacher is currently under investigation by school district officials for apparently acting out a Donald Trump assassination with a water pistol in the classroom in a brief Instagram video on Inauguration Day. Officials have placed on administrative leave.

A Kentucky woman received a visit from the Secret Service after wondering on Twitter if someone would be “kind enough” to assassinate Trump.

A Florida man who tweeted out a video in which he threatened to kill President Trump was arrested by Miami Beach cops on January 17, TMZ reported.

The day before the inauguration, a Denver woman tweeted that someone should assassinate Trump “before tomorrow.” The woman subsequently told NBC Denver affiliate 9News that “I honestly meant for it to be a joke.”

Separately, pop diva Madonna had to walk back her comment at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., a week ago Saturday when she referred to thoughts of blowing up the White House now that Donald Trump is the resident.

Madonna later clarified on Instagram that she is non-violent, was speaking metaphorically, and that her words were taken out of context, the Washington Post detailed. Madonna was one of a number of celebrities that spoke at the anti-Trump event.

During a recent TV discussion on German television, an editor of a left-leaning German newspaper supposedly alluded to “murder in the White House” as a way to put an end to the “Trump catastrophe,” according to Breitbart London. In a deleted tweet on January 27, a British journalist for the Times also apparently called for Trump’s assassination, Breitbart added.

The tolerant and inclusive left.

They have been 100 times more hateful and more violent than conservatives were after Oblunder was elected.

Hmmmm, I must be lost in the '60's & 70's because I never heard of Magnatone. And honestly now, I wouldn't pay a penny for one of those P.O.S. instruments.

They are high end guitar amps reviving Magnatone amps from the 60's.

Magnatone is famous for its pitch-shifting vibrato effect where other amps had a volume pulsing tremolo effect.

The problem with the left is that they confuse a few loud and obnoxious people with equaling the vast majority. They say some dumb sh*t, and then are floored by the mountain of backlash against them. Its like they were clueless that there were so many people out there who could possibly disagree with their assessment.

Mostly because conservatives are too busy working hard to make a decent living to spend all day whining and protesting and tend to understand it's not the end of the world if "your guy" doesn't win.

I'm not a Trump supporter at all, but the exposure of how thin-skinned people are, especially on the far left, has been the best thing to come out of this election by far.

Protesting is Thier living. They are paid quite well and are a very important part of the Democratic political machine.

Who is this guy? Never heard of him.

Anyone else notice that no where in that "apology" did he take any personal responsibility for the post? It's like he was apologizing that the post randomly appeared on their page.

This is what you get when a political party pretends to have the moral high ground to the point they lose touch with reality.

I'm just surprised the idiot didn't say his account "was hacked". That's usually how these things play out.

Would you care to explain what you are getting at? For reference: https://goo.gl/NBE6JY

We used to wonder how in hell something like the Cultural Revolution in China could happen. Now we know.

There is a thin layer of social programming that keeps these people from actually doing what they spout off about. Given the actual opportunity....they would cross that line.

A lot of them already are beating those they disagree with.

I'm really tired of it. Tired of the fact that they spew their hate and probably just get a wrist slapped and then they laugh about it and go on their way. There should be a penalty to stop this. An apology just isn't enough to spew this kind of hate as even though THEY might not commit an assassination I'm sure there are people that are crazy enough to try.

I didn't like Oblunder any more than these hateful people do Trump but I never asked and would never ask for this to happen.
