MARTA worker under investigation after tweeting Trump threat

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.”
