The Secret Service is investigating a Kentucky woman after she tweeted for someone to be “kind enough” to assassinate President Trump, the New York Times reports.
“If someone was cruel enough to assassinate MLK, maybe someone will be kind enough to assassinate Trump. #bekind #trump #lovetrumpshate,” Heather Lowrey, of Louisville, tweeted Jan. 17 — three days before Trump was sworn in as the 45th President as the United States.
Lowery’s Twitter account later disappeared.
She tweeted: “If someone was cruel enough to assassinate MLK, maybe someone will be kind enough to assassinate Trump.”
The Secret Service interviewed the 26-year-old and are still investigating the tweet.
“Any time threatening communications like that are made, we always conduct an investigation,” an agent told the Courier-Journal.
