Trump on Warning Sanders Fans To ‘Be Careful’: ‘It Wasn’t a Threat’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPPER: "Well, that's not my program. But in any case this morning, sir, you tweeted Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disrupters aren't told to go to my events. Be careful, Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours. That sounds like a threat. It doesn't sound like lowering the temperature. It sounds like --" 
TRUMP: 'No, it's not a threat. It's not a threat." 
TAPPER: " - Perhaps making things even worse. 
TRUMP: " It's not a threat at all. Look, my people have said, we ought to go to his rallies because, you know, it's sort of interesting, when liberals and super liberals and I don't even call them liberals because I have many friends that are liberal and I think they're wonderful people. These are beyond liberal. These people are bad people that are looking to do harm to our country. But when these people come into mine, you know, everybody thinks I'm a bad guy. When -- if my people went into one of his rallies, they'd say, oh, this is a tirible thing. They would be arrested and all sorts of things would happen to them. If conservative Republicans ever went into his rally, you would see things happen that would be unbelievable, and Bernie would be, oh, poor, Bernie, isn't that a shame. There is a horrible thing going on in the media. We are treated so unfairly, and I'm treated very unfairly. I mean, you know, this morning you had your political consultants say I had 5,000 people in Dayton, Ohio. Well, I had far more than 5,000 people. We had a hangar that was filled with people. It had to be 10,000 or 15,000 people." 
TAPPER: " I guess, Mr. Trump, the point is that people are getting hurt and people are actually concerned that somebody might get seriously, seriously injured before this is all over, and that you are not taking down the temperature. You are in the views of many of your fellow Republicans making things worse, inciting, encouraging violence, and you're a leader, sir -- " 
TRUMP: " My fellow Republicans -- excuse me, excuse me. My fellow Republicans are running against me. They are losing big league. In Florida we have a man, Marco Rubio, who doesn't even show up to vote in the U.S. Senate. He's a disgrace. He's weak, very weak on illegal immigration, wants to give amnesty to everybody. He's a person that I don't think he could be elected dog catcher in Florida, frankly, but I'm running against -- " 
TAPPER: "With all due respect, sir -- " 
TRUMP: " Excuse me, excuse me. If you look at Ohio, with he have a man that voted for nafta, nafta has destroyed Ohio and now he's voting for tpp I mean in Kasich. Give me a break. They're running against me, so obviously if I were in their position, I'd be saying the same thing. We have rallies of 25,000, 30,000 people and you haven't even said anything about danger in our rallies until Friday, and the danger was ended by a very good managerial decision not to have that particular rally to postpone it."
