Trump says his supporters were 'violent'
CNN ^

Posted on 12/17/2016 12:36:43 PM PST by Stopthethreat

Orlando, Florida (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump said Friday his supporters were "violent" during the 2016 campaign.

Trump made the admission Friday night during a rally here on the Florida leg of his "Thank You" tour. During the campaign, he repeatedly downplayed violent outbursts his supporters displayed at times toward protesters and insisted that paid activists were instead responsible for inciting violence at his rallies. "You people were vicious, violent, screaming, 'Where's the wall? We want the wall!' Screaming, 'Prison! Prison! Lock her up!' I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?" Trump said Friday. "But now, you're mellow and you're cool and you're not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right?"

The media is going crazy over this. It is a bit bothersome. He almost sounds like he is mocking his supporters and that he wasnt really serious about building the wall and going after Hillary. Like he was just saying these things to get elected. No I am not a troll. I want Trump to keep his promises. Thoughts? Am I reading too much into this?

Ha! He was mocking the media. Only someone with fewer than 2 brain cells to rub together wouldn’t see that

My thoughts are mostly about your “born-on” date.

Without hearing the actual sound bite, I’d say you’re probably reading too much into CNN, etc.

Still nags me why on earth we think CNN, NYT, AP, etc are real news sources anymore?

If they had any shred of credibility left, they threw it out the window with this Russian hacking thing.

Yes, you are reading too much into this.

obviously, since all Trump does at his Thank you speeches is mock the people who just elected him president.

Obviously.

No I am not a troll.

Welcome to Free Republic. If you've got to say that, then perhaps you realize you're trolling, maybe?

Trump, like every politician, is expendable. If he doesn’t know it he better learn real quick: The same people who got him elected can get him un-elected. Some of the initial tea party candidates have already found that out.

Yeah, I think youre reading too much into this. Watch the minute or so leading up to this clips and you will see it in context. CNN started the clip where it made him look the worst.

Trump was talking about vocal “violence.” Podesta in his emails was talking about promoting physical violence.

If CNN can not understand what grown ups mean when they speak, then they should not be in the news business.

Trump has been more conservative thus far than any other candidate would have been.

It's absurd for anyone to be offended by the comment he made.

He never promised to prosecute Hillary Clinton. He said, in response to her charge that he should never be in charge of the laws, said, "Because you'd be in jail"

it was a perfect Trumpian riposte.
