“Dukes of Hazzard” heartthrob John Schneider reportedly told President Joe Biden that he believes he and his son, Hunter, should be publicly executed for treason.
Schneider, an outspoken conservative, was allegedly replying on Wednesday to a post from the president on X.
“Trump poses many threats to our country: The right to choose, civil rights, voting rights, and America’s standing in the world,” Biden wrote. “But the greatest threat he poses is to our democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything.”

But the greatest threat he poses is to our democracy.
If we lose that, we lose everything.

In a now-deleted post, Schneider reportedly wrote, “Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider.”
Liberals raced to claim that “Bo Duke” just threatened the president’s life — a crime that carries with it “up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both,” according to FindLaw.com.

“You may want to take a look at this guy, he’s threatening POTUS and his son,” one user informed the FBI.

Others mocked the celeb, who was just revealed to be the Donut on “The Masked Singer,” for his poor grammar.
“Mr. Schneider, You sound like a dumbass and should be publicly ridiculed,” one user said. “[Porn star] John Holmes is hung. An Insurrectionist would be hanged.”
“Calling for the public hanging of the President and his son is a cry for help,” the user stated. “Please get some.”
Mr. Schneider,
You sound like a dumbass and should be publicly ridiculed.
John Holmes is hung.
An Insurrectionist would be hanged.

Some voiced their dislike of Schneider but noted that, “technically,” he didn’t actually make a threat.
Hate to say it but technically this isn’t a threat. He’s not saying he’s going to hang the president. Nor is he asking anyone else to hang the president.
I get your point, and he’s pathetic.
But this isn’t that. Not really.

Despite the praise, Schneider must have realized he may have gone too far. The post has since been removed.
and he just deleted the tweet. pic.twitter.com/TKyx6Wxxl4
