Trump's Call for Violence

Published | Video Starts at 00:42

And Donald Trump is trying to claim that that basic statement of clearly what is the law and what is the oath that they take is somehow seditious or traitorous behavior. The president has even encouraged violence against my two Senate colleagues, even suggesting that they should be murdered. This is outrageous for this president who didn't serve in the military, who had no background in national security, and has continued to trash our troops and our veterans, like John McCain, in whose office I now serve in the Russell Building. (00:42–00:51)
