The Secret Service is reportedly aware of a since-deleted X post from Dukes of Hazard star John Schneider, in which the actor accused President Joe Biden of treason and called for his execution, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Schneider's post also called for violence against the president's embattled son, Hunter Biden.
A rep for the Secret Service said the agency is aware of Schneider's post.
According to TMZ, a rep for the Secret Service confirmed that the agency was aware of the post from Schneider's official X account, formerly Twitter, which has since been taken down.
The rep noted that while the agency does not comment on "matters involving protective intelligence," the organization "investigates all threats related to our protectees."
Schneider came under fire for calling for the execution of President Biden in a since-deleted X post Wednesday night.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Schneider's account responded to a post from Biden's official page regarding ex-president Donald Trump on Wednesday night.
"Trump poses many threats to our country: The right to choose, civil rights, voting rights, and America's standing in the world. But the greatest threat he poses is to our democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything," Biden's post read.
Schneider replied, "Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son too. Your response is ..? Sincerely, John Schneider."
Schneider also accused Biden of treason in the post.
