Trump calls out Clinton over armed protection by Secret Service

By Lindsey Bever Washington Post

WASHINGTON — A day after Donald Trump told people at the National Rifle Association that Hillary Clinton would strip away their right to bear arms, the Republican seemed to suggest on social media that his opponent, who he thinks totes a hard line on gun control, should disarm her Secret Service team.

“Crooked Hillary wants to get rid of all guns and yet she is surrounded by bodyguards who are fully armed,” Trump tweeted Saturday morning. “No more guns to protect Hillary!

”Asked what Trump meant by his statement on social media, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said, “the tweets speak for themselves.

”While accepting an NRA endorsement Friday at the group’s annual convention, Trump turned his attention to Clinton’s stance on guns, claiming that the Democratic front-runner wants to “abolish the Second Amendment.

”Trump’s assertion that Clinton should not permit her Secret Service agents to carry guns was also brought up at Friday’s NRA convention.“Heartless hypocrites like the Clintons,” Trump said, “want to get rid of guns, and yet they have bodyguards that have guns.

”He added that their bodyguards should “immediately disarm” and “let’s see how good they do. Let’s see how they feel walking around without their guns and their bodyguards. In the meantime, nobody else can have the guns.

”A representative for Clinton could not immediately be reached for comment.
