Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says Donald Trump's controversial line about "Second Amendment people" qualifies as an assassination threat against Hillary Clinton.
[Snip]
Murphy was addressing a remark Trump made earlier Tuesday about what kind of Supreme Court justices Clinton would appoint as president.
"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment," he said. "By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I dont know," Trump added.
Other Democrats joined Murphy in condemning Trump's remarks.

If Trump really said that, he’d already be in federal custody but dem-witted voters can’t understand that.
**Trump made ‘assassination threat**
No he didn’t.
Hillary Clinton made an actual threat a couple of months ago. I can’t find the story.
I suppose if he said the 1st Amendment people would stop Clinton...would mean we would talk her to death.. What a dumb ass,!
“”Trumps ill considered bloviating is making it all the more difficult to vote for him, rather than just against killary. Why make such unnecessary misstatements?””
Not many here dare to state that opinion...I was hoping he would listen to Newt, O’Reilly, Rudy, Hannity and others to COOL IT! It looked for awhile as tho’ he would but he just can’t help himself, can he? I have a sister who says whatever comes to mind WITHOUT filtering it first to see who she might offend or hurt with her careless tongue. She’s done it for 82 years and isn’t about to change.
I went to wikipedia to read some 2nd amendment quotes. Pretty clear what it’s about. In defense of a tyrannical government. Interesting images they chose to use down the right side of the page.

Who knew the 2nd was a black thang?
This is the latest Dem meme. Warren is saying the same thing. No doubt, this will be today’s MSM focus.
What misstatement? You are reacting the way the Dems and the MSM want you to react, i.e., blame Trump for a manufactured attack against Trump. They will distort and lie to act as a distraction from Hillary's record.
This reminds me of the Cruzbots blaming Trump when he canceled his appearance in Chicago because of the violent, astro-turfed, rent a mobs sponsored by Soros and the DNC. The Cruzbots blamed Trump's provocative language.
Get your head out of your a$$ and understand what is happening here. The DNC is working hand in glove with the MSM to defeat Trump. Wikileaks hacking of the DNC confirmed it without a doubt. It is all orchestrated. We have multiple Dems and their surrogates saying that Trump issued a death threat. It is pure BS.
In the meantime the Dems can support films that show Bush being assassinated, Obama can say, "They bring a knife, we bring a gun." Hillary can talk about Obama's assassination in the 2008 primary. Biden said in 2008, I guarantee ya. Barack Obama aint takin my shotgun, so dont buy that malarkey, dont buy that malarkey. Theyre gonna start peddlin that deal. I got two, if he tries to fool with my Beretta hes got a problem. I like that little over and underyou know Im not bad with it.
Compare this crap with what Trump actually said. Oh, and by the way, there will be a reaction from the people if the Government tries to take people's guns away and abrogate the 2nd amendment. It is politically incorrect to say it.
Trump can either succumb to the pressure of the MSM and the DNC and walk on eggshells with every statement he makes, or he can continue to be himself. I prefer the latter. No apologies.
AMEN..
LIBERALS AND DEM’S ALL WORRIED...
GOOD.
>>What he said, if you put it into cogent words, was that maybe second amendment people could do something about Hillarys Supreme Court appointments, and that it would be a horrible thing if they did.<<
I like the way you added “and that it would be a horrible thing if they did,” something you might have heard in your head somewhere but that Trump certainly didn’t say.
I think this is a continuation of Trump’s strategy of making preposterous, although slightly ambiguous, statements that he knows will get all the press he wants for the day. This gets all his supporters out explaining what he “really” meant (like you just did) and gets all of the MSM and the Dems focused on telling everyone what a terrible President he’d be given yet one more example of his instability.
The problem is that there are a lot of people on the fence who are completely turned off by comments like this, especially since they get most of their news and interpretation of that news from the same sources that the MSM and Dems supply.
Gary Johnson is starting to look better and better, and he doesn’t have to say a thing. Just sit there and let Trump drive more and more Independents his way. And the more this crap keeps coming, the more traditional GOP voters are going to head Johnson’s way as well.
But hey, Trump rationalizers, keep telling yourself that you don’t need the GOP anymore...that really worked for Nehlen against Ryan, right?
A few bad apples(cities) make the whole rotten
AKA The GimeDats the Free Crap Grabbers all sway the elections to their favor.
When you look at stats too many in rural and burbs don’t vote,so they deserve what they get.
Apparently the Secret Service doesn’t agree with this cockroach. Loretta Lynch, on the other hand, may already have the necessary Trump indictment.
The Democrats, party, elected officials, bureaucrats and media—all the same are trying to make it impossible for Trump to say anything and thus silence him. The idiot Republicans, especially the consultant class are screaming for Trump to be silent and following the Democrat demands thus allowing them to dictate the terms of the battle and thus winning the battle.
Trump needs to get the media in a public situation and humiliate them and continue to attack Hillary relentlessly, attack-attack-attack. You do not win on defense.
Remember that day when the founders decided to include the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution as the ultimate check and balance, since you know, if the others stopped working to protect our liberties, then maybe the gun owners could “do something about it”?
Sound familiar?
I guess citing the historical purpose of that amendment has now become controversial.
So yes, the comment was a “threat” I guess - not of assassination, but of revolt. And that’s exactly the threat that the founders also made by making sure that a sufficient number of citizens would remain armed in order to resist the powers of any government which became too tyrannical.
And you are a disrespectful sycophant.
Think for yourself! Do you honestly believe Trump's fight with the Khan traitor, or his joke about babies, or this what exactly is he suggesting?)
"By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know," Trump said.
actually helps his standing with those who appreciated George Washington, Lincoln or Reagan? Do you think these superfluous utterances helps him with Independents?
His incessant garrulousness constantly takes the spotlight off of Killery.
Your wrote: "This is media driven and you are perpetuating the lies. Leave if you want to vote for Hillary."
My obvious disdain for Hillary (...against killary) is fairly obvious. Your lack of reading comprehension aside, one can't help but observe that Trump adds fuel to the fire. He needs to get on message and quit meandering around, leaving too many open ended statements that are all too easy for the enemedia to misconstrue.
Pathetic you can’t see the obvious. Trump needs to stay on message.
there was an old lady
she swallowed a fly
now I don’t know why
she swallowed a fly
perhaps she’ll die
(or at least quit coughing)
