President Donald Trump boasted about the killing of Michael Forest Reinoehl during a campaign rally on Thursday. Critics and legal experts immediately condemned the speech as a glorification of political violence and an attack on the U.S. Constitution.
We sent in the U.S. Marshals, took 15 minutes and it was over, Trump said to wild cheers. We got him. They knew who he was, they didnt want to arrest him and 15 minutes [sic] that ended.

(21,464 posts)3. Amy Goodman covered this a few days ago,
