Secret Service 'aware' of George Lopez assassination 'joke' against Trump

The United States Secret Service is aware of a comment actor and comedian George Lopez made on social media where he referenced assassinating President Trump.

Lopez, 58, responded to a post on Instagram about the Iranian government putting a bounty on Trump's head by saying he would do it for "half" of the $80 million bounty. He was responding to reports that a eulogist at Gen. Qassem Soleimani's funeral called for the president to be killed as payback for Soleimani's death.

"The Secret Service is aware of the Tweet made by Mr. Lopez," a USSS representative told the Washington Examiner on Monday. "The Secret Service takes all threats against the President and or any of our protectees seriously, and as a matter of practice, we do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence."

Time to take action on these so called "jokes". Put his ass in jail without bond for awhile and see how his jokes won't be so disrespectful.

A semi-intelligent person can take a joke and shrug it off if it offends them, up to a point. A snowflake cannot.
