Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) suggested Thursday that he would knock out President Donald Trump during a debate if Trump tried to intimidate him or get in his space.
Asked by MSNBC's Chris Matthews what he would do if Trump tried to intimidate him as Hillary Clinton said he was trying to do during their 2016 town hall debate, McAuliffe said Trump would have to be picked up off the floor.
"What would you do in a debate with him if he tried that? If he came over and leaned over back of you, what would you do?" Matthews asked.
"You would have to pick him up off the floor," McAuliffe said.
Matthews cracking up in laughter at that thought, followed up with McAuliffe.
"OK, you mean, you'd deck him?" Matthews asked.
"Listen, this guy got in my space, you want to get in my space, I've always said, Chris, you punch me back twice as hard, and it wouldn't be hard to do it," McAuliffe said. "This guy thinks he can intimidate everybody. It's disgraceful and embarrassing, but I tell you, when we take him on, back in his face with the facts, don't take anything from him and hit him back as hard as you possibly can."
"But if he ever came over and leaned on me and got in my space, that would be the last time Donald Trump ever did that, I promise you that," McAuliffe added.
Matthews thanked McAuliffe for his "performance" and told McAuliffe his comments "will go viral."
"You sound like an Irish-American politician," Matthews said.
McAuliffe, who is about to leave office, has consistently given coy responses when asked if he's running for president in 2020.
Hmmmm....so is it OK for Conservatives, Patriotic Americans within arms reach to respond in kind to this a-hole?
Sounds like a threat of physical violence against a senior citizen to me.
why isn’t this pussy’s baggage being included with the clintons?
Another tolerant liberal.
The Dems who are tired of the Clintons are probably not too interested in the extended family, including honorary “uncles” and “cousins”.
So the governor is advocating violence .... figures ... it is a demonrat
Talk is cheap, Ferry
How’s that “investment” in McCabe paying off?
Lol, wow the disease is spreading! Great way to stay above it all and bring maturity to the conversation.
Never heard of him except he bribed McCabe to go light on criminal hillary by giving money to McCabe’s wife? Trump would whip him like a fat red headed step child.
Lol nevermind ‘senior citizen’, the president of the United States.
I thought dangerous Donald was inciting violence?
If a Republican said this about Obama CNN would report, “Governor advocates violence against The President” on national television.
Oh wait waasn’t he the bag Man for that FBI tools wife’s “campaign”?
Terry McAwful is the last great hope for the clinton corruption machine to be President.
Just as it was Hillary’s time, after her, it was to be Terry’s time. He was governor of Virginia and everything.
how did we get to this low level of public discourse, anyway?
Big talk, little pee-pee.
I hear ‘punk’ is McAuliffe’s nickname. Rush calls him that right? He’s a big wimp and pansy.
McAuliffe is a truly low class POS, bottom of the barrel individual. He’s capable of anything criminal... anything.
