Richard Budman denied the existence of any tweets saying Hillary should be hanged (despite the evidence), and clarified that his wife is not involved in editorial decisions but simply works on graphics. A similar post on a Santa Clarita Community group page, by city council candidate Logan Smith, garnered more than 800 comments. A resident with more reach than most, journalist Anthony Breznican, said his thread collecting some of the tweets must have “struck a nerve” as it garnered more than 1,100 likes as of Thursday afternoon. Many valley residents took to Twitter and community Facebook groups to share other egregious posts they found. In February 2018, Budman tweeted: “Should Hillary hang from a noose? Yes.” (She later claimed she was briefly suspended for that post, a response to a pro-Trump user asking and answering whether Clinton should be in jail.)

Richard Budman was previously the Signal’s publisher between 20. Shortly thereafter, local residents exposed the couple’s repeated promotion of far-right conspiracy theories-including ones claiming former President Obama was a secret Muslim and ISIS supporter that there was a “cover-up” in the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich and that Hillary Clinton ran a child-sex ring out of a D.C. Last month, the Santa Clarita Valley Signal, the only newspaper serving a city of about 200,000 people just north of Los Angeles, was purchased by local husband and wife Richard and Chris Budman.
