Where are you seeing the parts after the semicolon?

Where are you seeing the parts after the semicolon?

From CNN article:

At the time of the shooting, Clinton called for stricter gun control and more efforts to root out terrorism in the Middle East and at home.
Trump, on the other hand, dismissed calls for new gun laws and warned that there were "thousands of people" in the United States with "hate in their heart." He also complained that Muslims in the U.S. are not reporting "mad men" to the police or FBI.

Now, would you please explain how that relates to the story?

C N N as trump  said is Clinton news network so true trump is always negative on the headlines not 400 million, 2,parents suing clinton etc. it was nice to see the whole media busy theat trump fight with a baby and forced her out untill the washington post called the mother of the baby and she said that trump didn't tell her to go out in fact she went out by herself and she later returned, no wonder fox news has the highest rating and revenue

Trump on Clinton: "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks." Adds, "Though the second amendment folks, maybe there is..."

Lock him up.

First Amendment protects inciting violence? Come on.

Are you guys really that paranoid that you think he is inciting violence for in a year from now? And he is the crazy one?

Do I believe he *actually* wants someone to shoot Hilary? No, of course not.
Is suggesting someone shoot her, even as a joke, inciting violence? I think yes.

Words have consequences. There are certain things you cannot joke about. Even if every normal person realizes he is joking, all it takes is one unhinged supporter to take him literally.

Am I exaggerating? Jo Cox. Gabby Gifford.

This is the territory you end up in when you start defending Trump.

What in the world makes you think that either of those have anything to do with someone inciting violence? That is the left wing rhetoric that the inciter in chief used at the time and was unable to be connected to reality in any way.

Trump is inciting violence with his rhetoric? I think you need to look through the news and see whose supporters are assaulting whose. The violence is being incited by the left wing not the opposite.

Ooh, big mistake. You have to really have your head in the sand to not know which way that tally is gonna swing overall.

[yoohoo]

If the media would go after the candidates equally than I would be all over Trump. The double standard makes me so sick that what he says doesn't bother me because I know it's all biased and that if Hillary would make such a comment no one will say boo

Very true. But in this case I think they are actually right. He made an off the cuff joke and it was a very dumb one and the campaigns spin was weak at best..

[ilherman]

I thought its just the media who is so crazy but apparently some DDFrs are in the same pot.

I watched the speech and it didn't even cross my mind that he is inciting violence. What he said is that the we all know that the NRA = the second ammendment people are very powerful and they will always make sure that we are protected.

Why be busy with cr@p. Trump is so right, imagine he would say that his mind short-circuit it would be ALL over the world. President Obama would request the R to nominate a different candidate. But hillary has a green light  for everything including putting our national security at risk. Sad.
