Curt Schilling continues to try to transform himself into baseball Trump with this tweet applauding a t-shirt that advocates the lynching of journalists:
He’s since deleted it.
You could see why he’d be so angry at the press since they basically drove him out of his job because he expressed conservative opinions, but this is a little much.
Journalists were outraged:
Given that two of our NPR colleagues were killed while reporting this year, I fail to see the awesome. https://t.co/cozs62FSXz

In 2004, I cheered for @gehrig38 until I had tears in my eyes. Today he joked about lynching my peers and colleagues. https://t.co/XxKsSlResB
