Trump asks Florida rally crowd: "How do you stop these people" from crossing the border?

"Shoot them!" a rally attendee shouts out.

Trump: "That's only in the panhandle you can get away with that stuff. Only in the panhandle."

1. K&R for visibility. nt

2. He must be held accountable.

He is a cancer on this country.

3. How do we find the video?

4. Video:

[Mrs. Overall]

8. Thanks for posting this video.

24. that has to be one of the ugliest moments ever

In racial relations. Look at the expression on his face after the person says "shoot them." And look at the expressions on the people surrounding him, a collection of blondes. At first it's a bit of a surprise but then after he says the panhandle remark, they smile, guiltily. One toward the Front actually claps. So yeah, they'd like to kill immigrants. They know they shouldn't, but they do think that's the solution.

S-I-C-K-E-N-I-N-G.

29. "They know they shouldn't"

"The Christian in me says it's wrong, but the corrections officer in me says, 'I love to make a grown man piss himself.'"

5. Posting from my phone today so searches are difficult, but has anyone

seen a timeline that shows any correlation between Trump rallies and mass shootings? Just wondering if there's a link.

[RKP5637]

7. Haven't seen it, but would not be surprised with all of the fear and hatred he stokes in some. n/t

[SansACause]

15. Beto said El Paso was one of the safest cities in the country

A Nazi from Dallas drove nine hours to try and prove him wrong. There may not be a correlation with Trump rallies, but there's likely a correlation with Trump supporters.

[KPN]

17. No, but I did see that this morning's Ohio incident marked the 250th mass shooting in the US

in 2019 alone -- all under this sorry excuse for a human being's (and the GOP Senate's, I might add) watch. These people need to be held accountable as accomplices in my opinion. They are accomplices to murder and domestic terrorism ... not christians.

[yellowdogintexas]

34. and I think the 5th since

that rally in Cincinnati.

6. He is such a hate filled creature. n/t

[magicarpet]

9. Trump is,...

A
Clear
&
Present
Danger
to the
USA !

[RKP5637]

21. Probably the most dangerous thing facing the US! n/t

[paleotn]

32. Probably the worst we faced since the Cold War....

Possibly since German nazis. As opposed to home grown, magat nazis. Same tree. Different branch.

10. K&R nt

[California_Republic]

11. El Paso is in the Texas panhandle

[nocoincidences]

12. The panhandle of Texas

is actually far north, near the panhandle of Oklahoma.

28. I think by "Panhandle", he meant the Florida panhandle...

... AKA the “Redneck Riviera “.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. aren't there laws against depraved indifference and inciting murder?

[KPN]

18. Personally, I think a case can be made for aiding and abetting via gross intentional negligence.

All you have to do is show the clearly demonstrable record: public statements made by the POS and Rs, campaign contributions by the NRA, coordination and campaign contribution laundering between the NRA and Russia, etc., etc.

I hope that a few courageous Democrats start making that case and promising to hold these people accountable when we take back the WH and Senate; and if we don't achieve that soon, by leading and catalyzing mass protests against this illegal, corrupt and immoral faux christian, fascist, white supremacist government.

14. Hillary tried to warn us

16. Trump was in Florida at the time of this video, therefore,

he was probably talking about the Florida Panhandle which
happens to be predominantly Repug in comparison to
South Florida which is predominantly Dem.

[ancianita]

19. Matt Gaetz territory.

[INdemo]

20. Here is the Video "only in the panhandle"

[moondust]

25. He's flattering them.

Telling them that only in the Panhandle are they smart enough to do the "right" thing. (Of course they're smarter because they voted for and continue to support him.)

[INdemo]

36. No what he said was "only in the Panhandle could you get away with shooting someone"

so are you defending Trump and his supporters? Really it does sound as if you are saying only in the panhandle are Trump supporters smart enough to know better than to commit murder? That is not what he said.

You really appear to be a Trump supporter defending him as someone like Graham would do.

[moondust]

37. Not at all.

I'm offering a version of the interaction. Trumpism runs on flattery. How in the world you could ever interpret that as me somehow being a Trump supporter is incomprehensible. I'll just go ahead and put you on ignore for potentially being a Trump supporter yourself trying to deflect and/or not understanding much about the give-and-take of Trumpism.

[INdemo]

38. That would be fine but your comment needs edited OK

..Im on ignore good ?..That saves me the trouble of going thru the process moondust
I am a die hard Democrat and have been since my first vote in 1968.
So don't start that shit.

[BSdetect]

22. He is going to be held accountable or there is no Karma.

[paleotn]

33. Karma lives.

There will be a reckoning.

[Boomerproud]

23. I remember this incident well. Its gotten lost

in the daily riffraff of this "presidency".

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. Accessory to murder

"an accessory to murder is somebody who assists the main perpetrator with a murder but does not commit the act personally."

I know this is hyperbole, but he is encouraging this chit.

[Blue Owl]

27. Let trump pansplain that to ya

n/t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

30. "Only in the panhandle" sounds like it could easily be considered a challenge.

Fucking posotus.

[Maru Kitteh]

31. I REMEMBER that. Sick sonofabitch.

[duforsure]

35. Charles Mansion is down there

Cheering him on now. This isn't as low as he'll go either. He'll do anything he can to hurt as cruelly as he can all minorities, and people that oppose him.
