More violence on the campaign trail has surfaced. This is a report is by Fox news, leaning right, and biased for Trump:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...nc-campaign-director-pointed-gun-at-aide.html
"Wednesday's lawsuit -- first reported by WBTV in Charlotte -- says Bordini and Phillip were traveling by car in South Carolina when the campaign director suddenly pulled out a gun and pressed the barrel to his kneecap."
"In his lawsuit, Bordini alleges Phillip also pulled his gun on at least four other people within the Trump organization. The behavior was so widely recognized within the campaign that others knew the caliber of his gun, the lawsuit says."
This is a very serious allegation hat many news stations are reporting, yet unproven by a court of law. Reason for pause is needed before we jump to conclusions and react.
I personally wonder, why didn't he call the police?
If this did happen, then I already know part of why they didn't call the police and the lawsuit already explains why they claim they didn't call the police. This isn't Fox News opinion, but the statement of the alleged victim in the lawsuit -- he claims he was basically too traumatized to speak up sooner, and feared retaliation for him and his family. Why the lawsuit now? The Trump campaign was silent about his concerns when he did bring it up to them.
Suing is one way to push the police to investigate a matter as well.
What even pro-Trump outlets report is that the alleged perpetrator of these acts of felony menacing, has a well known reputation for doing this, so much that all the staff knew the caliber of his gun. The Trump state campaign chair is not just any person pulled off the street. Most campaign leaders are thoroughly screened people, with tons of credentials and a lot of history in politics. Something is very wrong with someone with this level of reputation for violence is put in charge of a campaign in a swing state, even if it is somehow proven he didn't do this violent act. It's foolish for Trump to be surrounding himself with people with such a reputation for violence and reckless endangerment of other staff members.
These are the same people listening to Trump's comments about the second amendment. The second amendment calls for a well organized armed militia for the purposes of government overthrow. If Trump was misspeaking, yet again, why is he continually surrounding himself with people well known for vindictive acts of violence?
When the Trump campaign was contacted about this, why did they respond with silence? That's part of what apparently is fueling this lawsuit to be filed now. They didn't just stay silent about the alleged perp, they promoted him.
After a year of Trump encouraging violence, it is surprising t hat more hasn't happened. If this story is proven to be true, it shows why and how traumatized people in groups like this tend to stay silent about abuses.
Of all the places on the interwebs, this forum should be one place that understands why victims of crimes like this don't always immediately stand up.
