At a campaign rally in Miami on Friday, Donald Trump suggested that if Hillary Clinton so fiercely supports gun control measures, her body guards should no longer carry firearms.
“Let’s see what happens to her,” Trump said.
Trump’s full comment, which you can watch below via a video tweeted out by MSNBC, was accompanied by a fervent reaction from the crowd.
“She’s very much against the Second Amendment. She wants to destroy your Second Amendment. Guns, guns, guns, right? I think what we should do is — she goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before. I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. Right? Right? I think they should disarm. Immediately. What do you think, yes? [pointing to the crowd] Take their guns away. She doesn’t want guns. Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, OK? It would be very dangerous.”
The comment was reminiscent of something Trump said at a rally in early August, when he suggested that “Second Amendment people” might be able to prevent the selection of a pro-gun control judge to the Supreme Court if Clinton is elected.
Trump and Clinton will finally go head to head in the first 2016 presidential debate on Monday, Sept. 26 at Hofstra University in New York. The second debate is scheduled for Oct. 9, and the third and final round is set for Oct. 19.
