'I say that having lost a parent to brain cancer after 12 years of fighting, and getting to see just how terrible our Healthcare system is, and I still think he deserves it or worse,' Justin Lecea wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

In the thread, Lecea also called Obama a"war criminal" responsible for deporting over 3 million immigrants and"allowed the continued poisoning of citizens in places like Flint." The candidate also called Obama"part of the club that is going to let y'all burn in climate change." He also criticized the former president for the recent purchase of a new home in Martha's Vineyard.

recently bought an 11 million dollar home in Martha's Vinyard, and demonstrated privilege so great that he gives zero fucks about y'all.So @ me all you want I said nothing directly threateningOn Tuesday, Lecea tweeted more of his thoughts on the subject. In the latest thread, he took a calmer tone while still standing by his original criticisms.

I acknowledge that the delivery of my statement may have been crude and offensive, but the motivation for my statement came from a place of deep suffering and anguish. I have personally seen the suffering that our inadequate healthcare system has inflicted on all of us.
