US Secret Service talks to Trump campaign over gun rights comments
Correspondent Lisa Desjardins has our report.
Secret Service communications director Cathy Mihoan has not confirmed a meeting between the agency, Trump, or his campaign staff.
Tim Kaine, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, said, “I think it was just revealing. and I don’t find the attempt to roll it back persuasive at all”.
“Let’s get the word out that there are really good jobs for people right now and there will be more in the future if you get the skills in high school, at community college, in an apprenticeship, or other training program”, she said.
LISA DESJARDINS: That was Trump on offense. He repeated his argument that Clinton poses a threat to gun rights, but avoided any talk about advocates taking matters into their own hands. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges (for the US Supreme Court), nothing you can do, folks.
LISA DESJARDINS: Trump told FOX News he meant political action, not violence. Even though he has often derided President Barack Obama for the burgeoning debt, Trump said that because interest rates are currently low, “You’d be paying so little interest right now.This is the time to borrow”. “I promise. I promise”, Trump told his supporters in February.
“Let’s remember where Trump makes many of his products and it’s not America”, she said. He added: “But the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know”. It’s a political power.
“I’m nearly at the point where I think I’m going to vote for Hillary”.
LISA DESJARDINS: Others charged Trump was indeed inciting violence.
One of those Republicans is Chris Shays who was a congressman from CT for over 21 years and went public with his support yesterday. I hope they clear this up very quickly. “You should never joke about something like that”.
“We are going to invest in infrastructure, our roads, our bridges, our ports, our airports”, said Clinton during a rally in Des Moines, IA on Wednesday.
Clinton says the Big-Three wanted their workers to be able to buy the cars they built. Yesterday, we witnessed the latest in a long line of casual comments from Donald Trump that cross the line.
The crowd egged the rhetoric on, loudly chanting “lock her up” among boos, cries of “liar” and unprintable expletives directed at the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
The Clinton campaign immediately seized on Trump’s remarks, criticizing the bellicose New Yorker for instigating violence. Clinton said Republican nominee Donald Trump is presenting a dismal and incorrect picture of Michigan’s economy.
On Tuesday, Democrats, and many parts of the established media, claimed that Trump had casually threatened Hillary Clinton during an off-the-cuff campaign speech.
Meanwhile, Clinton was enduring a fresh round of criticism over her emails from her time as secretary of state, which have been a thorn in her side and hurt her trustworthiness among voters.
In one email a Clinton Foundation lawyer asked for one of its donors Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire who was called a “key guy”, to be connected with officials in the State Department and the former US Ambassador to Lebanon.
Some, including MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida, called for party leaders to replace Trump on the ticket.
