The Trump campaign has issued talking points to its surrogates about how to lie about "Second Amendment people." The first thing they're supposed to say:
Mr. Trump's comments yesterday about 2nd Amendment supporters uniting at the ballot box to protect their Constitutional rights have been completely misconstrued by the Clinton spin machine and their lackeys in the media.
Mr. Trump was clearly urging people to use their political power by getting out and voting, and that's how everyone in attendance viewed it. It wasn't until the Clinton campaign twisted the comments in a negative light that this became a story.
No. Here is what Trump said:
"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
That's not about voting. That's about dealing with an elected president. Everyone in the room and everyone watching live knew immediately what he was talking about, and reacted to it well before the Clinton campaign said a word. But that's not the worst of the spin the Trump campaign is urging. This is:
The power of every voter is a critical safeguard against tyranny in our democracy. Hillary Clinton is against our core Constitutional rights, and she has voiced support for gun-grabbing efforts that have and will continue to strip citizens of their rights….
That's doubling down on urging "Second Amendment people" to do something about the tyrant Clinton. Trump knew exactly what he was saying, and it wasn't a joke.
