The GOP candidate for President was at it again on Friday, arguing that Hillary Clinton should disarm her bodyguards if she were really serious about gun control – another ridiculous statement from a person wanting to lead the country.
Mr Trump has “a pattern of inciting people to violence”, the Clinton campaign spokesperson, Robbie Mook, said later on Friday.
“He owes an apology to President Barack Obama, he owes an apology to African-American community and he owes an apology to the United States of America”, said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., adding that he considers Trump to be “nothing but a two-bit racial arsonist”.
Clinton said that “there is no erasing” Trump’s role in spreading the “birther” gospel.
The Clinton camp has, again, labelled Trump “unfit to be President”.
The New York businessman brought up the birther controversy as far back as 2011, appealing to a right-wing fringe of voters who formed the early base of his support when he launched his presidential bid past year. Trump also falsely accused Clinton of starting the so-called birther controversy in 2008, though there is no evidence to link her to the birthers.
During his presidential campaign, Trump has readily trafficked in other theories that are the stuff of supermarket tabloids.
Yet the first lady is fiercely protective of her husband’s legacy and has been a major player in discussions about his presidential library and other post-White House projects.
After a summer spent attacking rival Donald Trump, Clinton is refocusing on her vision for the country.
Mr. Trump’s comments were a provocative echo of widely condemned remarks he made in early August at a campaign rally in Wilmington, N.C. There, he airily suggested that gun rights supporters should rise up against Mrs. Clinton if she were elected to stop her from appointing judges who might favor stricter gun regulation. “I finished it. You know what I mean”, he said.
But the Clinton campaign had a quick reaction. She vouched repeatedly for Clinton’s resume and character, urging voters motivated by her husband’s history-making campaigns to feel the same way about the first woman nominated for president by a major USA party.
If Hillary Clinton is assassinated, the blood will be on Donald Trump’s hands, Democratic Sen.
“His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie”.
As recently as 2014, Trump suggested that Obama’s birth certificate was faked, and in 2013 he even suggested that the late state health official who certified the birth certificate had been murdered.
Trump asked the crowd.
“Well, I’m not that shocked actually”. “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.

Despite the fact that Obama himself said he viewed this renewed burst of commentary about his birth as “fairly typical” and not surprising, members of the Congressional Black Caucus were clearly angry.
