Trump: We should take guns away from Clinton's bodyguards and 'see what happens to her'



Just last month, Donald Trump proposed that “Second Amendment people” could thwart Hillary Clinton if she were to become president. But evidently he doesn’t want to wait until he's already lost, because now he’s suggesting a new remedy:


She's very much against the Second Amendment. She wants to destroy your Second Amendment. Guns, guns, guns, right? I think what we should do is—she goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before. I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. Right? Right? I think they should disarm—immediately. What do you think? Yes? Yes. Yeah. Take their guns away! She doesn't want guns. Take their—let's see what happens to her.

This kind of eliminationist rhetoric is at once terrifying and destructive. It’s the same kind of call to stochastic terrorism that’s inspired killers to murder abortion providers and drove Yigal Amir to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin—all the while allowing those blowing on that whistle to disclaim all responsibility.

But make no mistake about it: Trump is calling for violence to be perpetrated against his political opponent. This kind of talk is beyond unacceptable, and Trump should be drummed out of public life altogether. That won’t happen, though, and the Republican Party will have to live with this shameful stain forever.

And god forbid something should happen, that’ll be 100 percent on Donald Trump.

Security with guns. Trump is disillusioned, uses poor judgement as in this case. Hillary doesn't want some people to acquire guns, Trump wants to take them away.

The one and ONLY thing we can learn from Republicans: tenacity.

Republicans have sustained the Email narrative for a year now.

Gungeoneers get away with such threats because of DU's obscurity.

Trump is doing it in broad daylight, with everybody watching.

He needs to be arrested and jailed for antics like this.
