Trump tries to calm his ‘vicious, violent, screaming’ supporters
The Washington Post ^ | December 16, 2016 | Philip Rucker

ORLANDO – It has been 39 days since Donald Trump has had to worry about Hillary Clinton, but his supporters can’t seem to stop talking about her.

Even before Trump took the stage at a boisterous Friday evening rally here, the president-elect’s introductory speakers referenced his former Democratic opponent – and the crowd of thousands, perfectly on cue, chanted, “Lock her up!” One man screamed loudly, “Waterboard her!”

When Trump delivered his speech in Orlando, his latest stop on a national “thank you” tour, his throngs of fans repeated their chants: “Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!”

If the president-elect loved hearing their plea, he did not say so. Rather, he sought to calm his unruly army of passionate followers.

In the run-up to the election, Trump told them, “you people were vicious, violent, screaming, ‘Where’s the wall?’ ‘We want the wall!’ Screaming, ‘Prison!’ ‘Prison!’ ‘Lock her up!’ I mean, you were going crazy. You were nasty and mean and vicious. And you wanted to win, right?”

Another ridiculous over the top headline from the Post. Bozo Bezos meeting with the Prez elect must've not gone all that well.

Fakenews from the WashPoo.

Deranged propaganda posing as journalism.

How many articles did they write about the Communists in O Obama’s inner circle or the CPUSA endorsements of his campaigns?

Great idea. How about this week outside; at Minot, N. Dakota? in the mighty Mouse River.

Bozo Bezos...

Nice. And it fits! He does have facial resemblance to a clown, a sad one.

And he is in way over his head because he religiously believes Amazon is too big to fail. New contract negotiations with USPS under the Trump Administration may cool his zeal a bit. And about those coming permits necessary for drones...

Pure projection. Since the Election, the vast majority of the violent acting out has been from the Left and they know it.

Shouting “Lock her up!” or even, “Waterboard her!” is not even in the same league as blocking traffic, beating up supporters of your political opponents or other $#*+ which the left does regularly.

Yeah, it is time to bring out Sherman and Clayton against Amazon.

... ‘vicious, violent, screaming’ supporters

Shouting: “Lock her up!” One man screamed loudly, “Waterboard her!”

Rucker, that is your last name, right?

And on cue, the kneeling DNC operatives in the media attack the messengers without discussing the merits of the message. Never you ask why they are shouting "lock her up". Skip the analysis of why a man would call for Hillary to be "waterboarded". No, make sure the righteous citizens are thrown to the lions.

FAKE NEWS!

LOL...it’s just gotten hysterical the Compost’s Slimes’ et al hysteria over Trump

To think, what used to be amongst America’s finest papers are reduced to extreme bias and crybabying. One can easily scan the right side of this site, note the headlines and immediately guess who’s the source.

It’s not called Compost now for nothing . And that’s being kind

Did they mention the vicious, violent, screaming hillary supporters who are threatening the lives of the electors?
No, because they are partisan pricks.

A once-reputable newspaper has become the worst sort of tabloid. I believe they were called out on this by one of the candidates in our recent presidential election.

First of all, it's not Trump worrying about her; it's America. And secondly, it's not like anyone can forget her, as much as we'd like to. She keeps beating her FAIL drum, first with the surrogate recount efforts (FAIL), then with the "Russians Hacked My Homework" nonsense (FAIL), and now with the Electoral College "revolt," which will FAIL.

If she would just shut her cakehole and go away, we'd be glad to forget about her ... at least until her trial.

CNN had a similar headline. They are taking it out of context to fit their view of Trump supporters.

Yeah, we are out there protesting, and damaging the property of others, and have done so for a solid week now. I have been reading about it the press. It’s all they can talk about. But Philip Rucker, aren’t you aware that the Russians made us do it, not Donald J. Trump?

Keep on trying to overthrow the election, and it is going to get a lot worse than this.

The Mouse is Frozen now. Guess we could start a fire on it and open a spot large enough for Rucker’s head.
