Donald Trump supporter threatens to assassinate Hillary Clinton if she wins

Source: Independent

As Donald Trump intensifies his calls to imprison his opponent, Hillary Clinton, his supporters are making much more ominous assertions about the Democratic candidate.

Mr Trump has reiterated his claim that the election will be rigged, in preparation for a loss to the former Secretary of State. He continues to assert that Ms Clinton should be locked up for general corruption, while his supporters appear to take this message to heart.

A Trump supporter in Cincinnati went so far as to suggest he would take matters into his own hands should Ms Clinton win the race to the White House, hoping for a “coup” or “revolution”.

“I feel like Hillary needs to be taken out if she gets in the government,” Dan Bowman, 50, told CNN. “I’ll do everything in my power to take her out of power – which, if I have to be a patriot, I will.”

PLEASE tell me there's something in one of those anti-terror laws Bush pushed through that will allow us to lock up Donald Trump if one of his terrorist supporters attempts to kill President Clinton.

Remember when everyone was scared that someone would try to take out the first black president at his inauguration? Pepperidge Farms remembers. One day maybe we won't have to deal with these insane "patriots."

Also this is my first post on this site so welcome to me. I am a coordinated campaign fellow in Gainesville.

I knew that name sounded familiar!

This appears to be the same guy who told something similar when interviewed by the Boston Globe on this story.

Dan the contractor. Joe the Plumber 2.0

This guy is going around to news media spreading his dangerous rhetoric, all just for media attention. I'm all for the 1st amendment, but at this point, this guys is shouting fire in a crowded theater. The media would do well not to give him any more air time.

And Democrats running and in office need to hold their feet to the fire.

ANY politician that does NOT condemn Trump's incitement has no business in any kind of office.

You can tell they're rigged because white men never win elections in this country.

How many female and minority presidents are we going to have before people realize elections are rigged against white men?

The patriots were not assassins. They were citizen soldiers who were fighting other armed regular army guys. They did not assassinate to get what they wanted. They fought a war, yes. Assassination,no!

Somehow this buffoon thinks that killing a duly elected official is patriotic.
