Donald Trump defended statements he made at a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, blaming faulty interpretations and media bias for an uproar over his comments about the Second Amendment.
The Republican presidential candidate was speaking at a rally about his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton possibly appointing liberal justices if she is elected.
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” said Trump as the crowd booed.
“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he continued. “Though the Second Amendment people—maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The Clinton campaign responded swiftly.
“This is simple—what Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way,” said the Democrat’s campaign manager Robby Mook in a statement.
