Major League Baseball is investigating a tweet from a longtime umpire who said there would be a “cival war” if the House moves to impeach President Trump.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed to ESPN that the organization is involved in the incident, which began when umpire Rob Drake, 50, tweeted late Tuesday that he was going to buy an AR-15 rifle “because if you impeach MY PRESIDENT this way, YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER CIVAL WAR!!! #MAGA2020”

I wish he had spell-checked his tweet before sending it.

Drunk tweeting is rarely a good idea. This guy will be looking for a job soon.

Gloves ON. Bayonets out. Mags loaded.

They do that? Make them fear.

Elections have consequences.

They are about to find out what kind.

Defend Trump!

Yeah but...Kanye West has come out in support of our beloved president.

I guess Black is the new Orange.

Rob Manfred is the guy who made Josh Hader attend sensitivity classes over some tweets he made at age 17, strong-armed the Indians to get rid of Chief Wahoo and changed the 'disabled list' to the 'injured list' to avoid offending the literally no one that cared.

Got to love having a 'woke' commissioner.

There is 3 days of food in the USA supply chain — according to my LDS friends...

A truckers’ strike would bring the same effect and would not involve direct conflict (until the strike was over and the truckers needed escorts to refill the supply chain).

“Gunfire and beer bottles.”

Sounds like a Toby Keith song.

Yeah, he must be fired for having a political opinion favorable to the President. In the meantime, the NBA kowtows to China over a tweet by a Houston Rockets executive supporting the freedom fighters in Hong Kong. LeBron endorses Hillary and calls Trump “a bum” without consequence. Coaches Popovich and Kerr attack Trump regularly.

“So is FR.”

It is such a juicy, high value target that I’m surprised it hasn’t been hacked and used by leftists to destroy people. Perhaps they only destroy those in the prime of life and the demographic here is, um, slightly past prime.
