A MARTA employee was placed on administrative leave Tuesday after posting a threat directed at President-elect Donald Trump.
The @Yellabud Twitter account was removed or deleted after users reported the message that said she wished she could kill Trump herself.
Below the text is an image of a man who looks like Trump with gunshot wounds to the head and stomach area.
Someone sent the tweet to the MARTA Twitter account: “She is making terroristic threats to President-elect Donald Trump. I hope they apprehend her quickly! I wouldn’t wanna ride MARTA knowing this is the type of character they hire.”
Officials released a statement Tuesday saying the part-time employee is under investigation.
“She has not been terminated,” MARTA spokeswoman Alisa Jackson said.
In an official statement, MARTA said: “MARTA recently became aware of a disturbing social media message directed at President-elect Trump that has been attributed to a part-time employee. The Authority does not condone any comments or depictions of violence. While we conduct our internal investigation, the employee has been relieved of duty.”
