The fake apology:
“Earlier today a frivolous, insensitive political post went out on Facebook. It should not have. Magnatone is not a political organization, respects the beliefs and opinions of all people, and does business accordingly. I personally share these values of our brand. I sincerely regret this careless mistake, and apologize to anyone, anywhere, who may have been offended. I can assure you that this will not happen again. Thank you.” - Ted Kornblum, Founder and CEO, Magnatone.
Maybe he already had The Visit.
Note the passive voice. A post just went out on Facebook. Who did it? Nobody knows! And of course it ends with the “sorry if you were offended” non-apology.

It’s not a “mistake”. “Mistakes” are not followed by yet more of the same “mistakes”. These posts were premeditated.
Calling for the assassination of an elected official is not “frivolous”.
He must resign. Minimally.
