Trump: ‘I’ll Have No Part in It But There Could Very Well Be Riots’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: "I want to play for you what the House Speaker, Paul Ryan, said about the word riots if that were to happen. Listen to what he said."
[clip starts]
RYAN: "Nobody should say such things in my opinion because to even address or hint to violence is unacceptable."
[clip ends]
BLITZER: "Now, you don't want any violence to emerge, right?"
TRUMP: "Of course I don't."
BLITZER: "You used the word "Riots" twice."
TRUMP: "I said very simply if that happened I'll have no part in it but there could very well be riots. You know that's true. Are we supposed to be so politically correct -- are we supposed to be so politically correct that we're not allowed -- I have people, millions and millions of people that have come out. It's the biggest story in world politics today are the number of people that came out. I mean these people are by the millions. And you see what's happening with the Republicans. They're not coming for other people."
BLITZER: "I just want to be precise. Will you unequivocally say to your supporters you don't want any violence or any riots at the defense."
TRUMP: "Of course I would, 100%. But I have no control over the people."
BLITZER: "You have a lot of control over the people. A lot of people listen closely to what you say."
TRUMP: "These people have been disenfranchised, they lost their jobs. They make less money now than they made 12 years ago. People working hard and double jobs are making less money now in real dollars than they made 12 years ago. They see their jobs going to Japan and China and Mexico. Mexico, forget it, it's the new China. You know what, they're very -- they're not by nature angry people, but I will tell you right now they're angry people."
BLITZER: "But you could calm them down with your words."
TRUMP: "I'd certainly try. I don't want to see -- but they're very angry people. They have been misled by politicians for years."
