In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper yesterday, Hillary Clinton blamed Donald Trump for the violence carried out by leftists against Trump supporters in San Jose. She also lied by saying that Trump supporters beat up peaceful protesters at other events.
From CNN:
Clinton: Trump deserves some blame for violence outside events
Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is partly to blame for protests around his events, including violent clashes that broke out in San Jose on Thursday night.
Clinton told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” Friday that while she condemns “all violence in our political arena,” it is up to Trump to also condemn violence and set a standard that both his supporters and those protesting against him should follow.
“I condemn all violence in our political arena. I condemned it when Donald Trump was inciting it and congratulating people who were engaging in it,” Clinton said after a campaign event in Culver City, California.
But Clinton said Trump has “set a very bad example.”
“He created an environment in which it seemed to be acceptable for someone running for president to be inciting violence, to be encouraging his supporters, now we’re seeing people who are against him responding in kind,” Clinton said. “It should all stop. It is not acceptable.”
Here’s the video, skip to the 1:42 mark:
Jake Tapper is usually more objective than many reporters so it’s surprising that he didn’t push back on Hillary’s false claims.
She lies so easily. The woman has absolutely no conscience.
If violence like what we saw in San Jose happened to her supporters, this would be a whole different ball game.
