Baseball HOF voters ask to amend ballots after Curt Schilling supports Capitol "riot"

The fallout of the Capitol insurrection on January 6th that left five dead has now made its way into baseball conversation as numerous Baseball Hall of Fame voters have asked to amend their ballots after controversial QAnon believer, Curt Schilling supported the mob.

Schilling has been a lightning rod during his entire tenure on the Hall of Fame ballot for his alt-right conservative views, including posting a picture to his Twitter account of someone wearing a tee-shirt that read: “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required” with Schilling added the comment, “OK, so much awesome here…” That didn’t exactly endear himself to the writers who would be voting for him.

But it has been his increase in vitriol around the 2020 election, and his unfettered stream supporting the unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud that has made Schilling a unique case for the voters. That has culminated in a series of videos and posts to his Twitter account regarding the Jan. 6th event at the Capitol:

President Elect Curt Schilling

You cowards sat on your hands, did nothing while liberal trash looted rioted and burned for air Jordan’s and big screens, sit back, stfu, and watch folks start a confrontation for shite that matters like rights, democracy and the end of govt corruption. #itshappening
