Joked, is it? I thought making threats against the President's life, even in jest (if that is what this is), was a criminal act. Or have the rules changed since Obama was in office?
ZitatCNN host Anthony Bourdain jokedin an interview with TMZ that he would poison President Trump if given the opportunity to cook for him and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
"If Trump and Kim Jong-un were going to have a bit of a summit to try and mend relations and they wanted you to cater, what would you serve?" asked a TMZ reporter.
"Hemlock," Bourdain deadpanned.
Hemlock is defined as "a drug or lethal drink prepared from the poison hemlock" that has been used as an execution method.
The 61-year-old host of CNN's weekly food and travel series, "Parts Unknown," later told Fox News that he meant to say "kale."
The comment by Bourdain was made last week, but has received more attention after being reported on several online outlets in recent days.
The backlash on social media from conservatives has been increasing as a result.
