Matt Harrigan, who founded PacketSled, stepped down on Tuesday after his online postings prompted a backlash and calls for a probe. The company said that it had accepted Harrigan's resignation after he admitted to posting the online comments on election night November 8 as the shock outcome of the vote became clear. Harrigan in his expletive-laden online rant wrote that he would be "getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts." He added, apparently addressing Trump: "Find a bedroom in the whitehouse (sic) that suits you (expletive). He later apologized in a Twitter message saying his comments were a "flawed joke" taken out of context and that he had no "malicious intention" toward Trump.
