Trump defends "Second Amendment" comment: "Give me a break"
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump set off a storm of controversy over his remarks about the right to bear arms, when they were seen by some as a threat of violence against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Trump said it would be "a horrible day" if Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tie-breaking Supreme Court justice.
"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks," Trump said.
"Although the Second Amendment people -- maybe there is, I don't know."
Later he told Fox News that he was referring to the power that voters hold.
“There can be no other interpretation ... I mean, give me a break."
