Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider has made a death threat against President Joe Biden, saying he “should be hanged.”
Schneider, 63, wrote the disturbing message on X on Wednesday, also taking aim at Biden's son Hunter.
“Mr President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hanged,” the actor wrote. “Your son too.” Her answer is…? Kind regards, John Schneider.'
Schneider deleted the post, but not before TMZ reported on it.
He had responded to a post by Biden about former President Donald Trump.
“Trump poses many threats to our country: the right to vote, the right to vote, and America’s standing in the world,” Biden wrote. “But the biggest threat he poses is to our democracy. 'If we lose that, we lose everything.'

Schneider, who played Bo Duke in “Dukes of Hazzard,” was exposed as the celebrity behind the donut costume on “The Masked Singer” the same day he made the threatening post.
He often supports Trump on Twitter, has previously claimed 2020 was rigged and called Anthony Fauci a “traitor.”
Many on X noted Schneider's comments against Biden, with some calling for a Secret Service investigation.
Former NBCUniversal CEO Mike Sington wrote: “Former D-list (Dukes of Hazzard) TV 'star' and far-right MAGA nut John Schneider publicly posts that President Biden and Hunter Biden should be executed.”
Attorney Don Lewis said, “John Schneider deleted his tweet saying President Biden should be hanged.” But the internet is forever and wouldn't it be a shame if “Bo Duke” got a visit from some federal agents ?”
An anonymous user added, “Is John Schneider getting the same treatment as Kathy Griffin from the Secret Service?” She posed for a photo and he made a real threat against the president and his son.”
Comedian Griffin claimed she was investigated by the Secret Service after she posed with a dummy of Trump's severed head in 2017.
She said she was under federal investigation and was even placed on the no-fly list, while at the same time being “interrogated under oath.”

Back in 2018, Schneider said it was time for “Hollywood stars to come out of the Republican closet” after he was released from prison for failing to pay spousal support.
The actor claimed at the time that Republican stars faced political bias and increased scrutiny – and that's exactly what he found himself on the receiving end of during a messy child support battle in court.
“I do believe there is a bias against conservatives and Republicans in Hollywood, but I think if you allow that to change your ways, then I question how you feel,” Schneider said in an interview with Fox News after his release.
'[Within the] “In the court system, I was treated like I was guilty until proven innocent, like a second-class citizen,” he said, adding that it was time for Hollywood stars to “come out of the Republican closet.”
Schneider won the role of Bo Duke in “The Dukes Of Hazzard” at the age of 17 and starred on the CBS show from 1979 to 1985 alongside Tom Wopat as his older cousin Luke Duke.
Since then, he has worked regularly in television and film, appearing regularly on the series Smallville and The Mummy before landing a starring role in The Haves and the Have Nots on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2013.
Schneider also had recurring roles on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and the reboot of 90210.
