Oh, he's watched it; you can bet on it

The White House is condemning a video that surfaced over the weekend showing a superimposed picture of President Trump shooting members of the media and his political foes, though the president had yet to personally weigh in as of Monday afternoon.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham issued a tweet Monday morning saying Trump had not yet seen the video “but based upon everything he has heard, he strongly condemns this video.” It was not clear if Trump had watched the video as of Monday afternoon.

Trump tweeted about various issues throughout the morning and early afternoon hours, including about forthcoming sanctions on Turkey, his former press secretary Sean Spicer and Hunter Biden.

Yes, a very despicable tweet at that.


The video was reportedly shown at a conservative conference held at Trump’s National Doral golf resort in Miami, Fla.

Among the attendees at the conference was Donald Trump Jr., who condemned the clip through a spokesman.

"Don hasn't seen the video and was unaware of its existence until the recent media reports about it, but he strongly condemns the type of disgusting and graphic violence purported to be depicted in the video against members of the media,” the spokesman said Monday.
But did he enjoy the video?  He may not have seen it at the conference, but I'm quite sure he's seen it since.
“Regardless of political party, we should all reject any and all violence in our politics, whether it's directed towards members of the media, politicians, the family members of politicians or political activists."
Speak to his father.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
