Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate, said on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s line about “Second Amendment people” shows that he does not have the temperament to be president.
“Nobody who is seeking a leadership position, especially the presidency, the leadership of the country, should do anything to countenance violence,” Kaine told reporters in Texas, according to CBS News.
“There is a beautiful phrase in the Gospel that says from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks and what comes out often reveals something important and who you are,” he continued. “And I think Donald Trump revealed again many other statements, reveal the same thing but it revealed this complete temperamental misfit with the character that’s required to do the job and in a nation, we gotta be pulling together and countenancing violence is not something any leader should do.”
During a Tuesday afternoon rally, Trump suggested that gun owners could take out Clinton if she wins the presidency.
“If she gets to pick her judges,” he said, “nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is.”
After making the comment, the Republican nominee insisted that he was talking about a “strong, powerful movement,” not an assassination attempt.
Wow, Trump used a dog-whistle instead of a megaphone. Guess he really is starting to pivot.
Trump: This is just target practice before I 2nd Amend all of the middle east.
It also shows that the media covering the mess known as the Trump Campaign are totally incompetent.
I was amazed by the Trump second amendment spin cycle. I kept waiting for someone anyone to say it but no it didn’t happen. All of the MSM just glided past the usual blatant lie that Hillary is going to eliminate the second amendment which obviously belies the actual functioning of government that would require CONGRESS and ratification from the states to change the constitution.
Facts don’t matter any more to Republicans or anyone in the media
I think Ted Cruz should start a hearing in the Senate to investigate Drumpf’s assassination request.
““Donald is a master of manipulating the conventions of journalism,” explained the veteran reporter. He proceeded to shatter many of those conventions in a book talk that was frequently punctuated with the declaration “because Donald just makes it up.” Johnston also repeatedly dubbed Trump “a modern-day P.T. Barnum.” The book by the former man book already has provided fodder for the tabloids.”
