Trump hints at violence against Clinton, again

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign attempted to dispel rumors that their team started Obama “birther” rumors after Donald Trump pointed the blame their way, but now a D.C. bureau chief is saying they were the source.

“So I think that, in addition to calling for them to name judges, we’ll also call them and let their body guards immediately disarm”.

“Senator Kaine should be ashamed of himself for saying that Donald Trump would like to have violence perpetrated against Hillary Clinton but it just shows how desperate and scared the Clinton-Kaine campaign is now because this race now is a dead heat and they can’t believe it”, Christie said.

“Crooked Hillary wants to get rid of all guns and yet she is surrounded by bodyguards who are fully armed”, Trump had reportedly written in the post.

After falsely accusing Clinton of opposing the Second Amendment (she supports the right to own firearms, but supports tighter gun controls), the Republican nominee said his rival “goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before”. “It’ll be very risky”, the New York Times quoted the Manhattan billionaire as saying.

Just this July, Trump told a CBS affiliate in Miami that “at the right time Cuba would be a good opportunity for investment” but “probably the time’s not right” for Trump to invest in the country.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks”, Trump told a rally in North Carolina on August 9.

At a rally in North Carolina, Mr Trump said his rival wanted to “abolish, essentially, the Second Amendment”. He said that “people who warn about radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamophobes”.

Trump’s comment, which came as he criticised Clinton over gun rights, was not the first time he has called for Clinton’s Secret Service detail to “disarm”.

It’s called the power of unification – 2 Amendment people have awesome spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power.

In response to the magnate’s remarks on Friday, Democratic Congressman Chris Murphy told Trump Saturday that if Clinton is assassinated, “the blood will be on your hands”.

But it is worth noting Trump later tweeted a similar statement – even after acknowledging the shootings of police officers in Texas and Pennsylvania. “Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President, has a pattern of inciting people to violence”, Robby Mook said in a written statement.

“For five years he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president”, she said.

A Secret Service spokeswoman contacted by the Associated Press declined to comment. “The next president of the United States must stand in solidarity with all people oppressed in our hemisphere, and we will stand with oppressed people, and there are many”, he said.

He said: “This kind of talk should be out of bounds for a presidential candidate”.
