Powerful Senator Demands Trump Be Stripped Of Security Clearance After Death Threat… http://bipartisan.report/2016/08/09/powerful-senator-demands-tump-be-stripped-of-security-clearance-after-death-threat-on-hillary/




Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, of California suggests on social media that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should be denied national security briefings after making careless comments inciting violence against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

The California Senator tweeted:

Barbara Boxer @BarbaraBoxer
Given his threats of violence, Donald Trump has forfeited his right to top secret briefings.
6:09 PM - 9 Aug 2016


Senator Boxer also had another thing to add a short while later:

Barbara Boxer @BarbaraBoxer
Inciting violence has absolutely no place in American politics. EVER. 8:10 PM - 9 Aug 2016


Considering the fact that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s verbal diarrhea doesn’t ever seem to stop flowing and is almost always followed by cheers from supporters, it’s truly shocking that he’s not been thrown out of the election.

Trump’s said a multitude of things in the past that have been jaw dropping to most sane individuals. But implying that his opponent should be shot should she become president is by far the most alarming. This is a man who could potentially run the free world and this sort of loud-mouthed, petty, violent promulgating has no place at the podium or in the White House. If this is an act, that’s one thing, but the closer we get to the election the more obvious it becomes that something is seriously mentally off about the former reality TV star...
