He Didn’t Say “Lock Her Up?”

He mostly just stood there nodding and smugly smiling when they chanted (as they did at Every Single Rally since 2016) but he slipped from time to time because he couldn’t help it.

I always wondered if that would ever blow back on him. He should be confronted with it in every single interview. Even the MAGAs might be a little embarrassed.

How about the future?

Glenn Beck: “Do you regret not ‘locking her up.’ And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”

Donald Trump: “The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us.” — Aug. 29, 2023

Context: Trump appeared on Beck’s show amid his mounting legal troubles, with Beck harkening back to the informal slogan of the 2016 Trump campaign, “Lock Her Up!,” referring to then-rival Hillary Clinton. Trump claimed he was being victimized and said of his political and legal antagonists “these are sick people; these are evil people.”
