The Trump rally this morning may be the worst one yet. This was one of the uglier moments:
Trump: “Waterboarding’s fine, and also, if we can go much worse than waterboarding, that’s fine too.” [Cheers] https://t.co/yMhO0zMZ89— Evan Hill (@evanchill) March 12, 2016
And he repeated this bogus story:
“They were having terrorism problems, just like we do,” Trump said. “And he caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists, and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in pigs’ blood — you heard that, right? He took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said: You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened. And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem. Okay? Twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem.”
He embellished it today with a story of burying the bodies with the pigs in a mass grave which was nice.
He added a new line to his stump speech — at least I’ve never heard it before:
“It’s payback time, it’s payback time!”
At the end they did the Trump salute.
