The next day, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie pledged that as Attorney General (a position he is undoubtedly auditioning for) he would prosecute Clinton.
Pew Research Centre said when it had asked Republican voters their preference for the Republican presidential candidates in March 2015, just one per cent of them supported Trump. The crowd chanted, “Lock her up, lock her up”.
Two Marine Corps veterans who fought in Benghazi as part of a security team posted near the USA diplomatic compound also blamed Clinton for lax security before the attacks on September 11, 2012, that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador.
“We didn’t disqualify Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States – the facts of her life and career disqualify her”, Christie said in wrapping up his remarks, which focused primarily on the former secretary of state.
“I do think he’ll wind up, you know, wind up having to commit more troops there”, Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper. Then he was a sidekick and a wannabe VP, who reportedly begged Mr Trump to put him on the ticket in an 11th-hour phone-call. Trump just announced Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his VP pick.
Christie told CBS2’s Marcia Kramer he was “disappointed” but that he has moved on. “But I’ve been through this parade before, and I realize it’s like getting hit by lightning”.
Two of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. and Tiffany, also spoke on behalf of their father, revealing some personal anecdotes about how he had supported and encouraged them.
Kevin Kvasnicka, also from Lakewood, is another Trump supporter open carrying a rifle and he agreed that Clinton should face some sort of legal action from the federal probe into her email use.
In his opening statements address, the former presidential candidate tried to soften Donald Trump’s image, calling him a 15-year “friend” and stating America would be led by “a caring, genuine and decent person” if he is elected in November.
Christie said “93 percent of the speech is completely different” during an interview on NBC’s “Today” show.
