Matt Lauer Demands Trump Tell Convention Speakers to ‘Tone Down the Rhetoric

As presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump arrived in Cleveland Monday afternoon, he was greeted by NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer hectoring him about the “tone” of the GOP convention, which had barely started: “There’s been so much violence in the country in the last couple of weeks. People are on edge, they’re tense. You add to that the passion that comes with political debate and there are people who are truly afraid that things could boil over here in Cleveland.”

In the interview, aired on Tuesday morning, Lauer demanded Trump promise to keep convention speakers in line: “Would you be willing to make a pledge to speak to everyone involved in this convention and say, ‘Please tone down the rhetoric’?...So can you say to the people who are going to take to that podium this week, ‘No personal attacks, no vitriol, keep it civil’?”

Keep it happy, keep it snappy, keep it gay. . .

When is little Mattie going to ask Hitlery to done down HER rhetoric?

And will he ask the same of Elizabeth Warren, aka “Stands with a Stick Up Her Butt?”

I read that “demand” as a warning that democrats are prone to violence whenever their intentions are clarified.

As me dear ol' Da would say...

Mat can defecate in one hand and demand in the other, and see which one fills up first!

Last night was completely different from the 2012 convention. In that particular convention, a skillful surgeon carefully excised the balls, backbones, and guts from every man who spoke, or attended, except Clint Eastwood. That accounted for the pained expressions on their faces when the camera panned the audience for their response, which was like the fright of a vampire seeing the first glimmerings of the morning sun.

Matt demands?

Matt Lauer, the mighty ombudsman of the Republican party. He must be impressed with his own wisdom, righteousness, purity.

As I was watching the convention I was thinking, “oh my, CNN/MSNBC must be having conniptions”. These speakers were full-on body slamming HRC. It was truth to power and they couldn’t take it.

We can’t help it if the dems have chosen a race baiting, lying, criminal as a candidate. Tone it down? I hope the volume just gets louder as the week goes on. I hope we preempt topics they’ll be covering too.

In that case, there’s only one thing to do. Pump up the volume!

Translation: they are telling the viewers what we have tried to hide! They have ordinary people calling for change and law and order! They’re stirring up the peasants!

Uhhhhh, Matt, is it? As in that thing that sits outside the front door? Anybody or group in particular you think might engage in this boiling over?

As I understand it, these attacks have been carried out by lone wolf disgruntleds with no known motives. Is there something you know that you're not telling us?

Tell your cop killing BLM thugs and your mediots to tone down their rhetoric that kills cops.

LOL! Yeah like don lemonade took it to David Clarke the other night? Senor lemon looked like the wuss he is. Hilarious to see the look on his face when Clarke called out the lyin’ king for lying about the cops on blacks shootings.
