Trump on Schiff: "something should happen with him" - should be "put away" [View all]

Trump is barely even trying to disguise his calls for violence against his political opponents:

“It’s just crazy. I saw Shifty Schiff get up yesterday and say this is Russia,” Trump said Tuesday. “He’s a sick man. He is so sick. We went through two and a half years of that, plus. This guy, he ought to be put away, or he ought to be, you know, something should happen with him.” [emphasis added]

Trump said this on Fox and Friends in a telephone call this morning. This quote is being reported in Daily Beast, Daily Caller, Mediaite, so far. From the Daily Beast:

President Donald Trump called for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to be “put away” for saying the Hunter Biden laptop stories are part of a smear campaign that originated as part of Russian disinformation. During a call into his favorite morning news show Fox & Friends, Trump began blasting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden over the sketchy New York Post reports on the laptop—which Fox News passed on due to credibility issues—before he was asked about Schiff’s remarks.

This is beyond batshit crazy.
