Texas State Republican Executive Committee member Terry Harper has called for U.S. Mitt Romney of Utah to be executed, saying he "should be introduced to our friend Mr. Guillotine."
The post, which apparently comes from Facebook, no longer appears on his Facebook page. But a screenshot of the post is seeing wide distribution on Twitter.
Many Twitter users commented that Harper should receive a visit from the FBI for threatening a sitting United States Senator.
Harper was responding to Romney's comments on Facebook about some Republican congressman and senators who plan to challenge Electoral college votes of several States on January 8th, when Electoral college votes are counted in the Senate.
Romney, who in recent years has become increasingly critical of President Trump, posted his comments Saturday. His comments towards the president have been condemned by conservative Republicans.
In his post, Romney called the attempt to reject electors, "an egregious ploy," that, "dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic."
His Facebook post drew well over 181,000 comments and 121,000 reactions, 53,000 negative.
