Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) tweeted that the Secret Service must investigate Trump's "threat," while MoveOn released a statement calling on Republicans to reject Trump's campaign in response.
A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service said it was aware of the comments.
Maybe this is what takes Trump out. He should not be able to suggest to his followers that they should take out his opponent and have no repercussions.
And what the hell is it going to take to get the GOP to finally say enough? Does somebody have to actually get hurt before they'll get there? I hold the GOP directly responsible for the big orange mouth that roared. They are enabling him every moment they leave him at the top of their ticket.
Hopefully media doesn't give Trump another pass on this. Very dangerous to say you want presidential candidate shot and killed.
I don't see that. He said that if Clinton is elected there will be no chance to stop her or the supreme court except through violence. It is a statement of his beliefs, not some desire on his part.
Only the "Looney" Left could make up this based on what he said. Gun owners do have the Power of vote, and that's what I understood him to say. A sane person would also take this as he said it. No where did I hear him say "Grab Your Guns and Kill Hillary. The "Desperation" and Frenzy the Left is in comical, But an embarrassing view of what some folks who call themselves Americans are.
I would like to thank the "Never Trumpers" for all the free entertainment and laughs we have had. And I thought the "Three Stooges" held the record for Laughs.

America is turning bluer every time he opens his mouth. We may see a hat trick in November with the Executive and both houses of Congress led by the same party.
Even some of the staunchest Second Amendment activists don't think his remarks were a joke:
Quote:
For some die-hard gun rights backers who had been wary of Trump, his comments were confirmation that he doesn’t really get their movement. Bob Owens, the editor of BearingArms.com, refused to buy Trump’s explanation that he was talking about voting.
"That was a threat of violence. As a REAL supporter of the #2A it's appalling to me,” Owens tweeted. Bearing Arms had sponsored the May meeting of the NRA’s lobbying arm where the group formally endorsed Trump.

Nice spin but Trump singled out "Second Amendment people". In your explanation then regular folks don't have "the power of the vote" - only Second Amendment people do.
"nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people, maybe there is."
I knew the spinning would be out of control. Sorry Righties, he said what he said. Even as a joke, it's completely inappropriate for someone who claims he has the temperament to be President. If you can't admit that, it means you put partisan politics above all else. Why do you hate America and American principles?
Your understanding of America and American principles can be charitably described as 'cartoonish'.
