Trump: Restore The Patriot Act [VIDEO]
Daily CAller ^ | 12/1/15 | Steve Guest

Posted on 12/04/2015 12:48:05 PM PST by VinL

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would be in favor of restoring the PATRIOT Act.

Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show on Tuesday, Trump said, "When you have the world looking at us and would like to destroy us as quickly as possible, I err on the side of security."

Hewitt asked Trump to comment on the }big debate between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. On meta-data collection, Ted Cruz is glad that the NSA got out of it, Marco Rubio wants it back. What's Donald Trump think?"

"Well, I tend to err on the side of security, I must tell you," explained Trump. "I've been there for longer than you would think. But you know when you have people that are beheading our .. if you're a Christian, and frankly for lots of other reasons ..when you have the world looking at us and would like to destroy us as quickly as possible, I err on the side of security. And so that's the way it is. That's the way I've been, and some people like that frankly, and some people don’t like that."

"I'm not just saying that you know since Paris, I’m saying for quite some time. I assume when I pick up my telephone, people are listening to my conversations anyway, if you what to know the truth," said Trump. “It's pretty sad commentary, but I err on the side of security.”

Hewitt followed up, “So you would be in favor of restoring the Patriot Act?”

"I think that would be fine, as far as I'm concerned. That would be fine," explained Trump.

Did Hugh ask Trump if Alger Hiss was a Communist?

1. That article was from the Wash Examiner— didn’t mention the Patriot Act.

2. Just posting Trump’s policy position— many may agree with it.

Of course. He’s a New Yorker, and there will be a slip of the tongue from time to time.

I heard that interview. Hewitt also tried to get him to bite on supporting a wealth tax again. Pretty sneaky for a third-rate radio announcer.

The stories are from different sources and written by different authors.

This was not a repost.

You would not make a good moderator.

This is negative aspect for Trump in my book. I think he still has enough good points for me to vote for him versus stay home if he gets the Republican nomination.

But as far as who gets the nomination, Cruz is looking better.

Well, shit, between this and Cruz supporting TPA, I guess I’ll stay home or vote for the regular elitist instead.

It did mention it.

1) Your Trump sides with Rubio post: Appearing on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” Tuesday, Trump was sympathetic to the controversial Patriot Act provisions and surveillance.

2) You also responded to the same quote that you posted 3 days ago like its some sort of surprise.

“I think that would be fine,” Trump said. “As far as I’m concerned, that would be fine.”

And this is the creepy side of Donald Trump. He likes power and control at any cost. Just like the rest.
