Trump's Communications Adviser: "2nd Amendment" remarks were "the power of unification"

[Miles Archer]

But Jason Miller, Trump's senior communications adviser, said Trump was merely talking about Second Amendment supporters large influence as a group.

"It's called the power of unification -- 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won't be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump," he said.

The former head of the CIA, retired Gen. Michael Hayden, told CNN's Jake Tapper: "If someone else had said that said outside the hall, he'd be in the back of a police wagon now with the Secret Service questioning him."

US Secret Service communications director Cathy Milhoan told CNN the agency "is aware of Mr. Trump's comments."

1. Bullshit! IT WAS A THREAT!!

We don't have to meet court-of-law prosecutorial standards before we can condemn and call-out behavior like that. We know EXACTLY what he meant! It was an inflammatory lie, followed by a call-to-action for his supporters.

IT WAS A THREAT!!

His denying what he meant by that is along the lines of someone denying that "see you next Tuesday" doesn't mean anything vulgar and misogynistic either.

4. I don't believe this was an off-the-cuff comment at all

Trump the Weasel knew exactly what he was saying
with his 2nd Amendment Assassination euphamism.
It's a clarion call to his well-armed-small-brained mob.
And he says... I'm just joking.

Time to throw this joker in the garbage. Right?

5. A veiled threat

Do not make 2nd amendment remarks that can be
Open to interpretation.
