Dem Sen. Chris Murphy To Donald Trump: If Hillary Is Assassinated, Her Blood Will Be On Your Hands

The Hill reports:

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) is accusing Donald Trump of suggesting his supporters kill Hillary Clinton, tweeting furiously that “blood will be on your hands.”

Trump said Friday night at a campaign rally that Clinton’s Secret Service detail should have their guns taken away to “see what happens to her.”

“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons,” he said. “Take their guns away. She doesn’t want guns … let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, OK? It’d be very dangerous.”

Democrats have reacted angrily to Trump’s comment, calling it an incitement of violence. Clinton’s campaign called on Republican leaders to denounce the statement.

“Whether this is done to provoke protesters at a rally or casually or even as a joke, it is an unacceptable quality in anyone seeking the job of Commander in Chief,” campaign manager Robby Mook said.

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords — the victim of a mass shooting in 2011 — said Trump’s comments prove he is “reckless, irresponsible and unworthy of the office he seeks.”

Murphy is calling on the Secret Service to investigate Trump’s comments as they reportedly did the last time he “joked” about assassinating Hillary Clinton.
