Trump rally speaker fantasizes about death of Hillary Clinton

LAS VEGAS — A speaker warming up the crowd for Donald Trump at a campaign rally Sunday morning fantasized about the deaths of Hillary Clinton and a senior aide.
Conservative commentator Wayne Allyn Root, describing his fantasy of a made-for-TV movie about Clinton and aide Huma Abedin, said, “We all get our wish. The ending is like ‘Thelma and Louise.” In the 1991 film, the title characters drive over a cliff to their death. Root’s line drew cheers from rally attendees.

Root’s call is the latest elevation in the increasingly extreme and violent rhetoric directed by Trump and his surrogates at Clinton at campaign events.

Trump adviser and regular rally speaker Al Baldasaro was investigated by the Secret Service this summer after saying in an interview, “Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.” In August, the Secret Service reportedly spoke to the Trump campaign multiple times about the Republican nominee’s suggestion that “Second Amendment people” could prevent Clinton from stocking the federal bench with her appointments should she be elected.

On Wednesday, a Trump supporter brought an effigy of Clinton with a noose around her neck to a campaign rally in North Carolina.

In recent weeks, Trump has begun calling for the jailing of Clinton and her lawyer over her use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state.

On Sunday, Root’s fantasy about Clinton and Abedin was a pastiche of pop culture references. “It’s Hillary in a White Ford Bronco,” he said. “She’s got Huma driving, and they’re headed for the Mexican border. I have a name for the future TV movie. It’s called, ‘Driving Ms. Hillary.’” He added, “When they make the run for the border of Mexico, there’s nowhere to go, because President Trump has built a big, beautiful wall.”

Encouraging Trump’s supporters to fight to the end, Root said, “This is why we were born. This is a 10-day run.” Root said their mantra has to be, “attack, attack, attack. We will never accept defeat. We will never give up.”

He added, “I will give you my country when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.”

Before Sunday’s rally, Trump attended a church service.

Yep. Quoting a nutburger like Root's very own words is a "fantasy" to a Trump-humper.

Some day strategists will look back at this election and realize that behaving like leftists is a real disaster for republicans.

I'm not. I have no problem at all wishing bad things on people who want to destroy our country,and who are in a position to do it.

There is no surer indication of losing than adopting the behavior of the enemy.

Clouded thinking. Wake up, let go of past pain. How long can you hold a grudge?

I don't think a candidate should be held accountable for everything his/her supporters say.

Besides, when did conservatives start having sympathy for Hillary Clinton?

I don't think it's "conservatives" that do have sympathy for the Beast.

Makes me wonder if too many people have let their hate for the Donald totally cloud their judgment.

The writer is really digging for some offense here.

This attempt is a definite fail.

Really, I despise Hillary. It'd be great if she finally overdosed on whatever drugs she takes.

Of course, I also despise the Orange Con from NYC. I'd like both of them hit by a giant meteor.

(Although, for the record, I voted for Don The Con, as the slightly, slightly, slightly lesser of two evils.)

I don't either. Saying this guy expressly wished for Hillary's death is like saying a football player flagged for "targeting" committed attempted murder.

We all should hope Hillary's political aspirations go over a cliff. Has nothing to do with hoping for her to die.

The guy made a clumsy joke or allusion to a movie that sorta went off a cliff (pun intended). There's enough wriggle room there to say that he didn't mean it the way it's being reported.
