Donald Trump Praises Adviser Who Said Hillary Should Be Shot By Firing Squad

Last edited Wed Aug 10, 2016, 05:33 PM - Edit history (1)

Al Baldasaro advises Trump on veterans issues

"Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason."

see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/al-baldasaro-donald-trump-hillary-clinton_us_578fa150e4b07c722ebd2fd1

It is just now August 9th. Donald Trump didn’t distance himself from Baldarsaro. Rather, he praised him. Two days ago, Think Progress reported, “Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has confirmed that his adviser who once called for Hillary Clinton’s execution is still part of the campaign… ‘Al has been so great,’ Trump said. ‘Where’s Al? Where’s my vet?’”

Statements like this are not only scary but incredibly irresponsible.

Again. Welcome to the Democratic landslide, Republicans. You nominated this orange-haired cretin. Now you can choke on him.

Goodbye and good riddance!

Trump is rounding up all the political & military out casts-out casts in general,crazies of every garden variety offering them prominence in his view of the world ,a place to fit. With them in his army Trump will build a great wall thereby trapping Nabisco . His plan is-to take all the cookies. Indeed ,wall them in, than take the cookies.

Former Florida Rep. Mark Foley sits behind Trump at rally
Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) on Wednesday sat behind Donald Trump at the GOP nominee's rally in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Foley resigned from his position in 2006 amid allegations that he had sent sexual emails and messages to teenage boys who had worked or were working as Congressional pages.

He was spotted by reporters Wednesday night sitting behind the GOP nominee during his event in Florida and was clearly visible in video from the event.
