No, The Secret Service Did Not Speak To Donald Trump Over 2nd Amendment Comment

As I’ve pointed out throughout this whole election cycle, painting the GOP nominee as ‘violent’ is an old standard political attack by liberals.

This time around, establishment Republicans embraced the tactic to attempt to take down Donald Trump’s campaign. This latest faux outrage about his 2nd Amendment comment is just the latest example of this strategy. It, coincidentally, comes at a time that Hillary Clinton has 5 major negative stories about her surface … hmm.

Ex-CIA director Michael Hayden said:

“If someone else had said that outside the hall, he’d be in the back of a police wagon now, with the Secret Service questioning him.”

That’s, of course, a lie and he knows it.

There was no specific direct threat made. As such, there is no legal argument that a credible threat surfaced. No one would be detained for making this comment, and if they were, they’d have a lawsuit. Hayden knows this, but he’s issuing hyperbolic statements in an attempt to character assassinate Donald Trump.

Then came the reports the Secret Service was talking to Trump about the comment.

I expressed skepticism this was true on my show, and I was right.

No such meeting or conversation ever happened – a made up story by "low ratings" @CNN.

CNN’s ratings are WAY down btw.

Reuters confirmed the Secret Service hadn’t spoken with Trump over the comment, that clearly wasn’t a threat, and was less severe than most rhetoric liberal Democrats have used.
