This would not be the first time, if true. He threatened violence at the Republican National Convention.
I don't think I've ever seen a thread that so blatantly illustates just how many people will knee jerk comment on a post when they obviously haven't read the link in the OP.
Some of you folks are either blind or delusional. WHEN, EXACTLY, have you ever seen conservatives riot or respond with violence after an election. Those are tactics of the LEFT. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Seriously? The President of the United States is saying there will be violence if his party loses the midterms? I can't believe that there are still people supporting this idiot.
Obama declared, '“a personal insult, an insult to my legacy†if Hillary is not elected
" “All the progress that we’ve made over the last eight years, all the progress we hope to make over the next eight years — all of that goes out the window if we don’t win this election.â€
Then in Athens he said the election loss was not a referendum on his legacy. Obama warned there would be violence if Hillary lost.
thanks for resurrecting that quote. leftists had no problem with that one.
I don't see him as "inciting" violence per se. It's more like he's inciting fear in his base. He basically says that if the democrats win, they are going to overturn any progress that the GOP has made on their behalf. What that is, I'm not sure of. However, he repeats twice that they are going to use "violence" to overturn it. Now, how you do that, I don't know. But the rationality of his statement makes no difference to his followers. He puts an image in their heads of Democratic wins in Congress and Antifa thugs marching into DC to beat someone into overturning some imaginary legislation? None of it makes a darn bit of sense, but it doesn't have to. You've just got to be a suggestible type of person to listen to Trump and buy into the fear. And who better than the Evangelicals to target as being suggestible. Those top leaders in that room are masters of controlling large groups of people an stoking them up to get money.
(Trump) pleaded with evangelical leaders for political help during closed-door remarks on Monday
Hold the phone here. What exactly are these religious leaders supposed to do? They certainly aren't going to go back to their tax-exempt churches and convince people to vote for Trump?

When you already have a class people that merely believe what they are told, it is quite dangerous to then allow religious leaders to meet with the President and ask their help for at the polls. No wonder "religious freedom" is equated with conservatism.
His message is that you will avoid violence & death if you vote for the Republican party.
In short: "Vote for GOP or die. Final warning".
Of is he signalling the alt-right to take it to the streets if the Republican party loses. "Taken 'em out boys. Blame Antifa".
where are the parts about death and dying?

Copied from the article.
This November 6 election is very much a referendum on not only me, it's a referendum on your religion, it's a referendum on free speech and the First Amendment. It's a referendum on so much," Trump told the assemblage of pastors and other Christian leaders gathered in the State Dining Room, according to a recording from people in the room.
CNN just released the recording in their website.
