Huckabee’s Daughter: Nothing ‘in Trump’s Rhetoric That’s Inviting or Inciting Violence’

‘I want to know sometimes where the outcry is when Barack Obama was saying let’s put — you know, the GOP is putting a gun to the Americans’ heads and things like that’

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "You know, I don’t think that there’s anything in Donald Trump’s rhetoric that is inviting or inciting violence. I want to know sometimes where the outcry is when Barack Obama was saying let’s put — you know, the GOP is putting a gun to the Americans’ heads and things like that. There was no outcry over that language. Donald Trump isn’t saying, let’s start a riot or let’s create violence. You have people that are coming in, creating a scene, into a very passionate, fired-up crowd and expecting no consequences. I made kind of the comparison earlier as a southerner with a couple of fellow southerners here, if I went into an LSU game saying, LSU Tigers are losers, and expected no one to say anything to me and for there not to be any consequences, I think that would be a big mistake. And I think that we’re, you know, putting all the blame on Donald Trump and not putting any of it on the protesters themselves. And I think that’s a big, big problem."
