The Secret Service wants to hear from the veteran TV star who thinks it would be a good idea for someone to “John Wilkes Booth” President Trump.
Recently a TMZ photographer asked Cook what she thought about Donald Trump. Cook answered: “Where’s John Wilkes Booth when you need him?” When the guy asked if she meant Trump should be assassinated she responded, “Why not?”
I remember a “Where is Lee Oswald when we need him” bumper sticker several years ago. I heard it caused a couple of arrests.
Madonna’s statement had enough generality to it that she was OK.
This one was specific to the President and quite clear on assassination motive. Obviously the elderly actress wasn’t harming anyone directly, however putting that out for a media audience was a step too far IMO.
