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?"

I have relatives in Peabody. They are congenial folks but there is no discussion with them. They and their acquaintances are pretty much as you describe. They don’t see any reason to argue since they are so right and everyone else in the country nay, in the world is so ignorant to not see their rightness. Truth is they have not reasoned about anything. They accept what the academics and the politicians say uncritically regardless of whether it comports with observed reality.

That's Boston baby!
better count your brain cells
I watched it, anyone with half a brain could tell he was mocking the media description. Either the reporter is dishonest or stupid. Likely both.
Hi, Thanks! I don’t remember who said it first, but it wasn’t me. I did however, like you, recognize its clarity and value.
If you ain't a troll, you are forgetting to check what the MSM says which is akin to asking to be lied to.
One thing trolls have in common is they never
so you can clear that issue up very easily....are you a troll or are you not a troll?
I guess i only have one
Leftist. Leftist brains, such as they are, pick out individual words which “trigger” certain reactions. They build whole scenarios around those words. Most think they are reporting accurately what the speakers intend. A few, the ones who are actually running the liberal show, know what they are hearing and doing. It is part of their total lack of humor and their inability to understand shades of meaning. These are their famous “trigger” words. When spoken by people they oppose they must mean one thing and context is, to them gibberish, when spoken by leftists, of course they mean something else and context is all.
Thank you for not attacking me
Your concern concerns me, laddie. Now GFY.
Thanks
Thank you for your thoughtful response
To the leftist, anti leftist talk is violent. They view the word differntly than normal people.
Sarcasm mocking the media is the way I see it.
That's what comes with being a complete idiot. Don't worry about it. Just try harder.
Of course he doesnt mock them. Thats why i said “almost sounds like”
Just text, no video clip at CNN. Cannot see the context.
My bet is they’re desperately trying to misinterpret what someone they don’t like says. Again.
The FR welcome wagon has ridiculed me, called me an idiot, told me to piss off and go f*** myself because I posted something Trump said and asked for clarification and feedback.
I have learned that to post I must be a cheerleading sycophant and not question anything Trump says or does. Because of course we have never been betrayed or lied to by our elected leaders.
Trump specifically said before the election that he would appoint a special prosecutor to go after the unindicted felon. He has already broken this promise. I hope he does not break any more.
Great time to hit me up for a donation. Where do I send my check?
You’re welcome. There are a lot of attacker on FR. Have to watch your step.
