In the midst of the World Series between the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals, the MLB finds themselves embroiled in some controversy in regards to one of their employed umpires.
MLB umpire Rob Drake is a huge fan of President Trump, so much so, that he is now being investigated for a since-deleted tweet where he threatened civil war if Trump gets impeached from office.
Drake also deactivated his Twitter account altogether, but the damage was already done.
Via ESPN:
“Major League Baseball is looking into a since-deleted tweet by longtime umpire Rob Drake, commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesday.
Drake tweeted late Tuesday that he planned to buy an AR-15 rifle “because if you impeach MY PRESIDENT this way, YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER CIVAL WAR!!! #MAGA2020”, according to a copy of the tweet obtained by ESPN.
The tweet, which was deleted soon after it was posted, followed one earlier in the night regarding the House of Representatives’ impeachment proceedings with President Donald Trump.
The other tweet read: “You can’t do an impeachment inquiry from the basement of Capital Hill without even a vote! What is going on in this country?”
Here are some of his tweets:
