Donald Trump has hinted at the assassination of Hillary Clinton by supporters of gun rights.
The Republican nominee was speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, about the next president’s power to appoint supreme court justices. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” he said, adding: “Although the second amendment people – maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The second amendment to the constitution protects the right of Americans to bear arms. Trump has accused his Democratic rival of wanting to abolish it, a charge that she denies.

“This is simple – what Trump is saying is dangerous,” said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”
Jason Miller, a communications adviser for the Trump campaign, attempted to explain the candidate’s comments. “It’s called the power of unification,” he said. “Second amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”

And probably gaining him some support. From Democrats.
Do you remember 1980?
I do. It was this bad. Worse, really, because we didn’t have internet media to counteract the communism at ABCCBSNBC.
Trump said and did nothing wrong.
Just go away if you can’t stand for our side.
Have you ever noticed that EVERYTHING the hillary camp accuses Trump of doing/saying/thinking/feeling is clearly a textbook case of projection of their own behavior/verbalizations/thoughts/feelings?
It’s truly uncanny and I’ve never seen it this much before this election.
Pinkbell...democrat mole, #NeverTrump, or RINO? You decide.
Yeah, well, the media hates it and the establishment hates it, but it’s pretty damn refreshing to have a candidate speaking the straight unvarnished truth for a change. It’s how he completely ran over them and his 16 competitors in the primaries and how he’s going to steamroll over the corrupt, America-hating communist bitch in November.
Damn the torpedoes and the nay-saying nabobs of negativity, full speed ahead!
Go, Trump, GO!!
I saw his speech. You have to listen to his FULL statement during the speech and it’s clear he was merely saying the 2nd Amendment is in jeopardy if Hillary selects the SCOTUS replacements.
People on twitter are like “Now the media won’t talk about the Jihadist at the Clinton rally” LOL like the media was EVER going to talk about the Jihadist daddy at Clintons rally..they haven’t talked about it ALL DAY why would they know..people really dont get the media do they..they are ALL IN THE TANK FOR HILLARY CLINTON have been since day 1
Hillary helped an Iranian scientist get killed and parades a terrorist murdering dad in our faces, but we are supposed to fret over a twist of something Trump said?
F that
The leftists across the pond the moron Guardian. Trump was talking in the context about the black robed hacks trying to take away their 2nd Amendments rights illegally.
LOL, of course not, just giving everyone a TV guide heads-up on what's going to be covered relentlessly tonight. What's on TCM tonight ;)
.... It definitely appears that Trump seems to be the gift that just keeps on giving to the MSM and Hillary Campaign.
.... However, I'm sure he will finally learn his lesson from the Post Mortem performed on his campaign after the November Election.
I agree. Also, Hillary does not want to debate Trump (or really anyone). This could be just the reason she uses to cancel the debates.
regular speech is now dissected to read whatever the clintonistas want...
I feel sorry for Kayleigh Mc always outgunned 4-1, 5-1, even 6-1 on CNN panels. But she usually can hold her POV good.
There is no true moral responsibility for distortion or disproportion. What sort of responsibility does a journalist or a newspaper have to the readership or to history? If they have misled public opinion by inaccurate information or wrong conclusions, even if they have contributed to mistakes on a state level, do we know of any case of open regret voiced by the same journalist or the same newspaper? No; this would damage sales. A nation may be the worse for such a mistake, but the journalist always gets away with it. It is most likely that he will start writing the exact opposite to his previous statements with renewed aplomb.
Because instant and credible information is required, it becomes necessary to resort to guesswork, rumors, and suppositions to fill in the voids, and none of them will ever be refuted; they settle into the readers’ memory. How many hasty, immature, superficial, and misleading judgments are expressed everyday, confusing readers, and then left hanging?
The press can act the role of public opinion or miseducate it. Thus we may see terrorists heroized, or secret matters pertaining to the nation’s defense publicly revealed, or we may witness shameless intrusion into the privacy of well-known people according to the slogan “Everyone is entitled to know everything.”

Maybe because we didn’t have the internet like we do now, and remember when JFK ran against Johnson, that was a bloody show also...
The only clean person in this whole election that have ran and got beat out and are running right now is Trump and Pence...the rest of them are as dirty as a mafia don...
It doesn’t matter what Trump says, the press will find something.
Trump needs to plow ahead. F the Media!
