Curt Schilling isn’t known for being politically correct, and he often crosses the lines of propriety. The former MLB pitcher went way past that line on Monday when he got excited about a shirt that promotes lynching journalists.

There isn’t a whole heck of a lot to say here. Schilling’s message pretty much speaks for itself.

The guy has no qualms about promoting hateful messages. We’ve seen it before. He went on a racist rant after the tragic shooting this year at an Orlando night club. He was fired by ESPN for his vitriol this year.

And don’t forget this is a guy who’s running for a United States Senate seat (seriously).
