Again, Trump Suggests There May Be “Violence” at the GOP Convention
Not for the first time, Donald Trump is dog whistling to his crazed followers about rioting at the GOP convention if the establishment tries to deny him the nomination.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that he hopes a contested Republican convention in July “doesn’t involve violence” if he is denied the nomination during second-ballot voting.
“I hope it doesn’t involve violence. I hope it doesn’t. I’m not suggesting that,” Trump told reporters on Sunday here in Staten Island. “I hope it doesn’t involve violence, and I don’t think it will. But I will say this, it’s a rigged system, it’s a crooked system. It’s 100 percent corrupt.”
He says he hopes it doesn’t involve violence — but notice how he avoids specifically telling his followers not to get violent. Done in the true Mafioso style. “We’d hate to see anything happen to your lovely convention.”
