Dukes
of
Hazzard
actor John
Schneider
(whose
most
recent
TV
appearance
was
on
the
Tyler
Perry
series
The
Haves
and
The
Have
Nots)
is
in
hot
water
after
posting
on
social
media
that
President
Joe
Biden
and
his
son
Hunter
Biden
should
be
“hung,”
later
denying
that
he
did
so.
On
Wednesday
(December
20),
John
Schneider,
best
known
for
his
role
as
Bo
Duke
on
the
late
1970s
and
1980s
comedy
Dukes
of
Hazzard
responded
to
a
post
by
President
Joe
Biden
on
X,
formerly
known
as
Twitter.
The
president’s
post
read,
“Trump
poses
many
threats
to
our
country:
The
right
to
choose,
civil
rights,
voting
rights,
and
America’s
standing
in
the
world.
Schneider
then
quoted
it
with
a
near-threat.
“Mr
President,”
he
wrote,
“I
believe
you
are
guilty
of
treason
and
should
be
publicly
hung.
Your
son
too.
Your
response
is?”,
signing
the
post,
“Sincerely,
John
Schneider.”
The
timing
couldn’t
have
been
worse
for
Schneider,
who
was
on
air
after
being
unmasked
in
the
finale
of
The
Masked
Singer
on
Fox.
The
post
was
deleted,
but
not
before
many
online
noticed
including
Joe
Adalian,
the
West
Coast
editor
for
New
York
Magazine
who
posted
it
with
the
caption:
“John
Schneider
took
off
more
than
one
mask
tonight.
Fox
gave
this
guy
a
platform
tonight.
I’m
truly
sorry
for
the
loss
of
his
wife,
but
that
doesn’t
excuse
calling
for
the
public
execution
of
POTUS.”
Visibly
emotional
and
teary
during
his
appearance
on
the
show,
Schneider
explained
that
his
song
choices
of
Joe
Cocker’s
“You
Are
So
Beautiful”
and
Dobie
Gray’s
“Drift
Away”
were
in
honor
of
his
late
wife.
Alicia
Allain
Schneider
died
from
breast
cancer
on
February
21.
Fox
canceled
their
array
of
Schneider’s
scheduled
press
interviews
the
morning
after,
but
the
conservative
actor
did
speak
to
People
and
Fox
News.
Schneider
would
issue
a
denial
in
a
statement:
“Seriously,
folks?
This
is
my
final
comment
on
this.
I
neither
said
nor
implied
any
such
thing.
Despite
headlines
claiming
otherwise,
in
my
post,
I
absolutely
did
not
call
for
an
act
of
violence
or
threaten
a
U.S.
president
as
many
other
celebrities
have
done
in
the
past.
I
suggest
you
re-read
my
actual
post
and
pay
attention
to
the
words
before
believing
this
nonsense.”
Schneider
is
reportedly
now
facing
an
investigation
by
the
Secret
Service.
