Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Donald Trump’s “bloody” comments are a concern to some voters.
“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but President Xi understands how to deal with me,” Trump said at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday. said. You’re building a huge monster car manufacturing plant in Mexico right now, and you’re going to take it, you’re not going to hire any Americans, you’re going to sell the cars like you’re doing now. I’m going to impose a 100% tariff on every car that crosses the line, and if I win, I won’t be able to sell those cars. Now, if I don’t get elected, the whole thing will be a disaster – that would be the bare minimum. It will be a bloodbath for the country. ”
Anchor Kristen Welker said, “First, I want to hear your reaction to Donald Trump’s comments about the bloodshed. Do you think those comments were appropriate?”
“This is why the overall tone of the speech continues to leave many Americans questioning whether President Trump should be president,” Cassidy said. This kind of rhetoric has reached its limits, and depending on your point of view, you may or may not understand it. ”
He added: “He always goes to the edge with his rhetoric, and that’s why people are concerned.”
