In an apparent reference to a report that the Secret Service had been in contact with the Donald Trump campaign over his comment Tuesday that “Second amendment people” would put a stop to Hillary Clinton, Trump tweeted Wednesday that he had no such “conversation” while blaming “low ratings” CNN for making up the story.
No such meeting or conversation ever happened – a made up story by “low ratings” @CNN.

At a rally Tuesday, Trump said that if Clinton is elected and allowed to pick anti-gun rights judges, there’s “nothing you can do, folks.”
“Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is,” Trump continued, in a remark interpreted by many to be a reference to assassinating Clinton. The Trump campaign disputes that interpretation.
A CNN reporter tweeted Wednesday that a Secret Service official told him that “more than one conversation” had been had between the agency and the Trump campaign over the remark.

Reuters later reported that a government official told the outlet the Secret Service never “formally” spoke to Trump’s campaign about the comment.

He’s the lyingest liar that ever lied.
ROFLMAO
The Drumpfster Fire strikes again…
And we’re supposed to believe him over the statement issued by a government agency? Yeah, right. You can practically see that his pants are on fire. I’m getting sick of his weak denials, outright lies and ceaseless bullying. Grow up, old man! You’re supposed to act like a 70-year old, not a child arguing on the playground. A spoiled child, running around in expensive suits. Just goes to show you don’t need any intelligence to make money, just a rich father to leave you a large inheritance. Ludicrous.
I believe that a “formal” conversation would have involved Trump being taken into custody, so yes, I can believe that the Secret Service hasn’t gone that far. I suspect it’s been something more like a few friendly, cautionary chats with top staffers about how they damn well better rein in their boss.
Were his tiny, adorable fingers crossed when he said that?
