Donald Trump suggested that Second Amendment advocates take action against his presidential opponent Hillary Clinton during a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Tuesday, August 9. Watch his shocking statement in the video above.
Speaking
at the University of North Carolina, the Republican presidential
nominee, 70, discussed the possibility of the Democratic presidential
nominee, 68, appointing liberal Supreme Court justices should she get
elected.
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second
Amendment,” Trump said during his rally on Tuesday afternoon, sparking
boos from the crowd. “And if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you
can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I
don’t know.”
Immediately after, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook released a
statement on Trump’s shocking remarks, writing, “This is simple — what
Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the President of
the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”
Shortly after, the Trump campaign released a statement of their own,
insisting that the businessman was merely referring to the “power of
unification” to put a stop to Clinton’s triumph.
“It’s called the power of unification — 2nd Amendment people
have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great
political power,” the statement read. “And this year, they will be
voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will
be for Donald Trump.”
