LISA DESJARDINS: That was Trump on offense.
But Trump insisted that was not his intent.
S.C. House Minority Leader Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Columbia, said he has already been a target of Trump’s allegedly violent rhetoric. Even reporters have told me.
CHARLIE PLEASANTS, 58, of Wake Forest, North Carolina: “I personally don’t think he literally meant someone should assassinate her”.
Factcheck.org also busted the myth, saying, “Trump may choose not to believe what Clinton says, but the fact is there is no evidence that Clinton wants to “take your guns away” or ‘abolish the Second Amendment.’ She hasn’t said that, and her gun proposals would not do that”. It’s a political power.
“A person seeking to the be president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way”, Mook said. “Although the second amendment folks, maybe there is”. In my opinion, he’s just a joke. I hope he clears it up very quickly. “You should never joke about something like that”.
Mrs Clinton addressed a crowd of Democrat supporters in Iowa and said it was yet another in a long line of Mr Trump’s remarks that “crossed the line”.
“Words matter, my friends”.
Solen in his news release said he would revoke his endorsement of Clinton “if she had said a fraction of the outrageous, hurtful, and un-American things that Donald Trump regularly says”.
Clinton’s campaign moved to bring disenchanted Republicans into the fold by announcing an official intraparty outreach effort on behalf of the Democratic nominee.
Ms Clinton today said that Trump’s remarks showed that he did not have the qualities of a president.
Trump in trouble? The Secret Service has been in contact with Donald Trump’s team following his controversial Second Amendment remarks about Hillary Clinton.
“She’s one of the wealthiest women in politics, combined income $30 million”, says a narrator adding Clinton “Tours the world on private jets”.
Trump and his campaign denied claims that he had advocated for violence against his political opponent.
DONALD TRUMP: It’s called pay-for-play. And some of these were really, really bad, and illegal.

The suggestion that the assassination of a presidential candidate-or the killing of Supreme Court justices, or an armed insurrection, depending on interpretation-could solve a policy dispute is a shocking new low for a campaign that has continually reset expectations.
