Rudy: Trump Fans Would’ve Cheered if He’d Really Called for Clinton’s Murder

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday morning denied that Donald Trump was inciting violence against Hillary Clinton in his remarks about gun-rights advocates Tuesday. “We know Donald Trump is not particularly indirect,” Giuliani said on Good Morning America. “If Donald Trump was going to say something like that, he’d say something like that.” In the interview with George Stephanopoulos, Guiliani said, “You know how speeches go. He was talking about how they [gun-rights advocates] have the power to keep her out of office. That’s what he was talking about. With a crowd like that, if that’s what they thought he’d meant, they’d have gone wild.” The Republican presidential nominee was accused Tuesday of calling for Clinton’s assassination after he said: “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment folks, maybe there is. I don’t know.”

plus he had this sickening, grotesque grin the whole time. It was bizarre. I changed the channel so I wouldn't have to look but I turned it to CNN and they were replaying the interview (I'm on the West Coast, so GMA was three hours tape delayed). It was awful, painful to watch.

I caught a glimpse of him recently, he would make a good joker in the Batman universe, no makeup needed.

His words. His people. His candidate. If anything, this admission is further proof of the dog whistle message that Trump intended to communicate.
