The “Handled by the Military” Hoax Against Trump

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and certain media outlets are claiming that Donald Trump threatened to use the military against Americans “who don’t support him.”

IN FACT, Trump was answering a question about “agitators” who would “sow chaos on election day,” like the “Afghan refugee charged with plotting a U.S. election day massacre.”

He was NOT talking about Americans who “don’t support him” but “sick people, radical-left lunatics,” who’ve rioted, committed arson, and murdered people.

Democrats and journalists have repeatedly misreported Trump’s words in ways that make him look like a racist, anarchist, and dictator.
