Seriously. On the same day that pipe bombs were sent to Hillary Clinton and others, the crowd at a Trump rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, collectively embarrasses anyone who has ever lived in that state by chanting “Lock Her Up”.
I have no idea who the woman at the podium is. EVERYONE would know her name if she had just departed from her prepared remarks and said…
“What in the hell is WRONG with you people? Sure, you don’t like Hillary. I don’t like her either. But this is the United States of America! WE DO NOT LOCK UP OUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS! Jesus, people! This woman just had a PIPE BOMB sent to her house. And you are sitting here on a cold Wisconsin night, cheering for the kind of hatred that likely encouraged some sick, mental case to contemplate MURDERING HER? I had a lot more to say to you tonight, but it’s time for someone to take a stand, to say that this just isn’t right. We are human beings. We are not savage animals. Get your shit together. Someone’s gonna get hurt or killed, and you laughing assholes are gonna bear the blame. I’m done. Listen to music until Trump gets here.”
Imagine the effect that such a reaction would have.
