Robby Mook, campaign manager for Clinton, released a statement, saying: “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way”.
The Trump campaign also issued a statement, directed at the “dishonest media”, claiming he was speaking about “the power of unification”.
The National Rifle Association – which has endorsed Trump – used the comments to urge people to vote for him during election day. He was talking about unifying before the election to stop anti-2nd Amendment judges from being appointed by voting for Trump.
He added: “But I tell you what, that will be a disgusting day, if Hillary gets to put her judges in, right now we’re tied”. Mike Pence, brushed off the interpretations of suggested violence.
But then he added without elaboration that maybe supporters of the second amendment could figure out a way.
“.@RealDonaldTrump is right. If @HillaryClinton gets to pick her anti-#2A #SCOTUS judges, there’s nothing we can do”.
Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov.
“Hillary Clinton’s made it very clear that she wants to see changes in the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms”, he said.

One group supporting Trump – the Rebuilding America Now PAC led by Florida Governor Rick Scott – said it was rolling out an anti-Clinton ad on cable and local television stations in Ohio, Florida and North Carolina this week. Trumps team said he actually meant that they should unite to stop her from ever getting elected. When the scope is expanded beyond just Trump supporters, only 19% believe that Clinton is the devil, compared to 68% who don’t.
