Schilling: Hillary Clinton 'should be buried under a jail'

Former major league pitcher Curt Schilling is back in the political spotlight for all the wrong reasons after making scathing remarks about Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

During an appearance on Kansas City’s 610 Sports Radio on Tuesday, Schilling told hosts Danny Parkins and Carrington Harrison that Clinton's alleged misconduct as it relates to classified emails is unforgivable, and she should be barred from participating in the presidential general election in November.

"I hope she does (go to jail)," Schilling said on "The Drive with Danny and CDot." "If I'm gonna believe, and I'm not sure I don't have any reason not to believe, that she gave classified information on hundreds, if not thousands, of emails on a public server after what happened to General (David) Petraeus, she should be buried under a jail somewhere."

Schilling's comments came just hours before Clinton's successful Super Tuesday polling, in which the presidential hopeful won seven states and strengthened her lead on rival Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic nomination. Clinton remains under fire for using her family's private email server instead of her federal government account for her official communications as the U.S. Secretary of State.

Schilling was removed from ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" broadcast in September last year after posting a tweet that compared Muslim extremists to Nazis.
