Trump claims he never called for Hillary Clinton to be locked up
“Lock her up” is perhaps one of the most popular chants among Trump supporters, and he agreed with it on several occasions.
LMAO! uh huh
However, there are several instances in which Trump did agree with calls for Clinton’s jailing.
In July 2016, for example, Trump said he would not be “Mr. Nice Guy” when it came to Clinton,
during a Colorado rally where the crowd was calling for Clinton to be locked up.
“Every time I mention her, everyone screams, ‘Lock her up, lock her up,’” Trump told the crowd. “You know what, I’m starting to agree with you.”
In the weeks before the 2016 election, Trump
even said he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton and seek to put her in jail for her use of the private email server.
