Trump Suggests 'Second Amendment People' Could Act Against Clinton

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

republicans and gun activists have used the rhetoric of armed insurrection for quiet some time ("the only thing that can protect the other amendments is the second"). Surprised it has floated upwards so quickly.

[Wiz in Wis]

I don't think he was advocating what you guys think.

I think it was more of the Jeffersonian thought on the Second Amendment, armed militia takeover.

In either event, a not-so-wise thing to joke about.

Right... calling for an armed insurrection because the other side wins was TOTALLY WHAT JEFFERSON WOULD WANT.

[MasterJedi]

Absolutely disgusting, even as a joke. Time for Pence and leadership to try a coup.

Nah, maybe Clinton deserves that treatment.

Of course you would approve of that.

[Green Line]

I would love to see these cute armed militias try and overthrow the government. They love to fantacize about it, so try it!  It will last about 2 hours.

lol, what a bullsh**t response.

I apologize for my comment. I absolutely despise Donald Trump with a passion, and it was wrong for him to make these comments.

You can go back to your old account.

Oh yeah, that would fit with his stupid claim that elections are rigged. To even mention this in that context is disgusting.

Are you no longer supporting Trump, Mr Johnson?

[Suburbia]

It was a probably a joke, he shouldn't say that, but then again, this is a free country and you cannot censor free speech. Hey, on the left, you have SJWs saying some vicious things towards white conservatives, and even black conservatives who don't think like the BLM crew. Trump needs to tone down the nonsense.

No, the Khan issue was a red line for me in conjunction with Hillary's great DNC speech and the selection of Tim Kaine. She wasn't my first choice (would have prefered Biden, Webb or Jerry Brown), but now fully supporting her.

Two quick points -

In the world of online violence advocacy, SJWs take a FAR BACK SEAT to MRAs.

You're comparing the nominee of the GOP to a 12 year old in a chat room.

Free speech =/= Consequence free speech

Thank you for apologizing.

After the election Trump should just be turned over to the Mexican government and left to rot in one of their jails.

[Fargobison]

Clinton campaign responds....

I don't know. He should not be dropped. If Trump is dropped by the GOP, the base will stay home. It's Trump or bust for them, I suppose. They don't want to hear Tom Ridge, Christie Whitman, Charlie Dent, Susan Collins, and other "globalist RINO corporatists" have to say about Trump. Those 4 failed them. Whitman gave NJ McGreevey to them in 2001, Tom Ridge to them made the DHS too powerful, Charlie Dent is not the "suburban conservative" that they voted for. Susan Collins is not "the New England conservative" that they thought they would get after "RINO Globalist" William Cohen joined the Clinton/Gore administration in 1997. The base is probably tired.

Disgusting. If this isn't crossing the line, then there is no line anymore. And that's frightening.

Serious Presidential candidates need to censor their own speech. It's called taking personal responsibility.

[Slow Learner]

Is there anything Trump can say that his supporters wouldn't call sarcastic or a joke?

[Bojack Horseman]

Maybe the Secret Service could stop protecting him and sit him down for a Ted Nugent-style interview.

[MasterJedi]

No, anything he say they will "rationalize" away.

[Trapsy]

I think he meant the voters but holy shi he said in the most irresponsible way.

[ProudModerate2]

Is there anything Trump can say that his supporters wouldn't call sarcastic or a joke?

No. They can "play" and protect themselves by using the "poorly-educated" card/role, on why their responses are childish and irresponsible.

[Senator Cris]

Disgusting.

[President Johnson]

He just misspoke

[Suburbia]

This is an emotional election. Emotions get the best out of people. In 2004, the Kerry/Edwards people were vicious to Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rumsfeld. A lot of leftists were going off whenever Bush was leading in Pa., Ohio, etc.
