Update: Secret Service Investigating AZ Man Who Made Threats to Kill Trump on Twitter (Video)

As reported by Kristinn Taylor at The Gateway Pundit on Tuesday….
Twitter is allowing, as of this writing, an account dedicated to assassinating President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence that features as the header image a doctored photo showing Trump dead from gunshot wounds to the head and chest. The account also features photos of purported sniper rifles purchased with the claimed intent of killing Trump and Pence.

The Twitter account handle is “John Silva@JohnnyKing663“. The account was opened in January 2017 and has only eight tweets. The first one posted on February 27 reads, “#killtrump Doing it tonight!!!!”

On March 2 the account posted, “Just kidding. Doing it soon though!!!”

That was followed a few minutes later with a photo of two alleged sniper rifles with scopes mounted with the statement, “#AssassinateTrump. Just got me a new JP LRP-07 Long Range Precision sniper rifle off the Darknet. She’s beautiful.”

The account’s last post was Monday mid-day, “got my JP LRP-07. Got it hidden but the time is almost right.”, that was posted as a reply comment o the tweet about Trump and Pence’s blood “staining the concrete.”
