“Let’s see how they feel walking around without their guns or their body guards”, Trump said of Clinton and her Secret Service detail during his speech to the gun lobby conference in May.

DONALD Trump has been accused of inciting violence against Hillary Clinton for a second time under the guise of speaking up for gun owners’ rights.
“It has tightened up because I think, Martha, as you know, even with your discussions with voters, we are a divided nation”, he said.
“Sec. Gates really should have, I think, in his book been a little bit more forceful about the fact that radical Islam has ideological moorings”, she said. While anointing Trump the leader of the “Birther movement” they flat out denied Clinton had a hand in lending the conspiracy credence.
After a stretch of more low-key campaigning, Trump is spending the weekend under fire for comments about Hillary Clinton that seem to invite violence against her, fighting with the media, and engaged in a dispute with a former Republican defense secretary – all on top of a revival of the “birther” issue involving President Obama.
Taking on Twitter early Saturday, Trump explained his latest comment in terms of the right to bear arms: “Crooked Hillary wants to take your 2nd Amendment rights away“. “Take their guns away. Okay. It will be very risky”, he added.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook condemned Trump’s remarks, saying they “should be out of bounds for a presidential candidate”.
Hillary Clinton has stooped to a new low; she has shown that she is not a presidential candidate for all the citizens of the United States.
“Where the conspiracy theories started were like the darkest corners of the Internet, which is where Donald Trump thrives”, Hari Sevugan, an Obama spokesman in the 2008 primaries, told Politico with regard to who started the birther absurdities.
Pence called the birther question one of “the debates of the past” and stated that Trump “put this issue to an end yesterday”.
Trump’s remarks came just hours after the real estate magnate was forced to reverse his long-held position that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States, the BBC reported.
“That’s why 70 percent of the American people don’t trust her”, Huckabee said.
Pence maintained on “ABC This Week” that Trump had accepted Obama’s being born in the U.S.

The comment marks yet another U-turn for the Republican candidate, who previously said he supported the idea of normal relations, but wished the USA had negotiated a better deal. I finished it. I finished it. Kaine asked. “And when you look at a series of these comments that he is making, I do believe it is incitement or at a minimum an expression of indifference to whether violence would occur”.
