Some conservatives on Twitter were calling for the Secret Service to investigate the motivations behind a tweet from Hollywood filmmaker Joss Whedon Tuesday.
…
Whedon tweeted that he wanted the president to die because he was emboldening “monsters.”
Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches. He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia. My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.

Many on Twitter didn’t appreciate the over-the-top rhetoric from Whedon:
This complete maniac is a disgrace to himself, his family, his community, the country and anyone who knows him. https://t.co/5NQMjKoO2Z

This clown is a pretty prominent Hollywood director. Please, do your homework and do NOT spend a dime on any movie associated with this maniac. Do not finance these spoiled sickos. https://t.co/5NQMjKoO2Z

Should I alert Joss’s mom, his psychiatrist, or the Secret Service? https://t.co/4z4lJYdY6W

Imagine a famous person calling for the president to die, even “quietly,” between 2009-2016. https://t.co/qO6lr5U21v

Aside from the death wish, at what point do these dire lamentations end and the people who make them are forced to admit it’s really not that bad? https://t.co/e5VtsCGIKX

Wow, Joss. You didn’t just threaten the president did you? @SecretService https://t.co/ifICr3HbEf
