A Democrat in Louisiana publicly encouraged the assassination attempts against Donald Trump in a live call-in with C-SPAN’s Washington Journal.
The caller named Willie, who claimed to have served in the military for over 20 years, made the comments on Wednesday, Sept. 18 in which he said he was encouraged to “destroy the enemy by all means available”.
“I see we let this man (Trump) destroy America, and I look at it and see these two people had to step up and take that shot,” he said on national television.
A stunned John McArdle interrupted Willie and asked, “I’m sorry, you’re not advocating violence, are you?”
“Not violence,” came the response, “I’m defending my country.”
Many on social media were angered by the comments which saw Willie cut off before he could advocate anything else.
Other commentors on social media alluded to concerns by the Trump campaign over inflammatory language used by Democrats so far in this election.
