Oh this just gets better and better.


(CNN)Donald Trump seemed to walk back his promise to pay the legal fees of supporters who are charged for violence at his rallies when pressed on the subject by ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday.


"By paying those (legal) fees, wouldn't you be rewarding and encouraging violence?" asked host George Stephanopoulos.


"No, no I didn't say that. I haven't looked at it yet, and nobody's asked me to pay for fees, and somebody asked me a question and I haven't even seen it, so I never said I was going to pay for fees," the Republican front-runner said, at first denying what he has said both during a campaign rally and on Sunday during an interview.

At a rally in February, Trump told his supporters about protesters: "Knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. OK? Just knock the hell -- I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise."

That's not what he said, this is his words.
The secret service said it's possible someone in audience is going to throw tomatoes at me, if you see someone fixin to throw something just knock the hell out of them, I will pay your legal fees.

He never said he would pay legal fees for anyone.

...

"I will pay your legal fees."
 
so....him saying to one audience that IF someone throws a tomato at him, to knock them out, and he would pay for all their legal fees automatically means he agrees to pay for everyone's legal fees who causes any issue at any rally or event?

really?

not like the press or the left is trying to read anything extra into that statement now, is there?

think about it

:2wave:

Then these are some Clinton quotes:

"Women are the largest" (OMG FAT SHAMING!)

"We must stop thinking" (OMG SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO BE STUPID!)

And so on.

Except for this:

"In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" this Sunday, Trump said he had directed his staff to "look into" paying the legal fees of a supporter who sucker punched a protester at a rally last Wednesday in North Carolina.

"I've actually instructed my people to look into it, yes," Trump replied when asked about paying the fees."

Grammatically ambiguous, you see the situation more clearly now?
 
Trump supporters just don't care.

It does no matter one bit what he says or does, Even if it's blatantly obvious caught on tape, clearly said, the reply is simply

"No he didn't".

It's... Just bizzare.
