Conservative newspaper endorses Clinton and gets death threats

By Nathan Rousseau Smith, Buzz60

As editorial boards across the country continue to voice their support for Hillary Clinton, one newspaper is facing some serious backlash.

The Arizona Republic is speaking out about the death threats it's received since choosing to endorse Clinton for president.

The paper saying it chose patriotism over party by endorsing the Democrat.

With the conservative paper breaking from its 126-year tradition of endorsing a republican the threats against the business and the people who work for the paper started pouring including these disturbing words...

"You're dead. Watch your back." "We will burn you down." and... "You should be put in front of a firing squad as a traitor."

In a column responding to the threats, President of The Arizona Republic Mi-Ai Parrish describes subscription salespeople being spit at by critics.

One caller even threatening to blow up reporters.

Undeterred, Parrish thanks her reporters for their courage to utilize the first amendment to freely exchange ideas. Ideas which at times may be unpopular with some readers and voters.
