More controversy for Donald Trump. At a campaign rally in North Carolina on Tuesday, the GOP Presidential nominee told supporters that if HIllary Clinton gets to pick her judges, there’s nothing they can do. Perhaps joking, Trump then remarked “although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.” Many, particularly in the Democratic Party, took his comments as a call to assassinate Clinton or otherwise harm her. Trump and his staffers since that time has been on the defense. Trump dismissed criticism of his comments on Fox News “Hannity.” He said that he wasn’t urging anyone to use violence to stop her from becoming president. He said he was urging gun rights supporters to vote against Clinton so she can’t appoint Supreme Court justices who would abolish the Second Amendment. Senator Elizabeth Warren was incensed and took to Twitter to set Trump ablaze. Click the image below to see her Tweets:
Nearly one in five Republicans say they want Donald Trump to drop out of the presidential race. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll out today shows 19 percent think he should go. Across all registered voters, 44 percent want Trump to call it quits.
Despite Trump praising his opponent, House Speaker Paul Ryan crushed his Republican primary opponent Paul Nehlen in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District Tuesday. So it’s now on to November.
A spokesperson for the city of Ferguson, Missouri says gunfire erupted at a protest on the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death. Tuesday was the second anniversary of the teen’s death at the hands of a local police officer. Many peaceful gatherings were held, but gunfire erupted during a protest in Ferguson after a driver struck a protester who walked into the street. Witnesses say the protesters were shooting at the driver who was trying to get away from the crowd. The spokesperson for the City of Ferguson says the driver is cooperating with law enforcement. There were bullet holes in her vehicle, but no one in the vehicle was hurt.
Dylann Roof’s federal trial is three months away, but his defense team is still attempting to get the charges against him dismissed. Roof is facing 33 counts for the June 2015 massacre at ‘Mother’ Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. But his attorneys say prosecutors have not laid out a specific hate crimes case. Prosecutors argue Roof’s crime affected interstate commerce when he targeted the church via the internet, bought a gun from outside the state, and traveled interstate highways.
