Celebs React to Donald Trump's 'Second Amendment' & Hillary Clinton Comments
Celebrities are speaking out to slam Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for seemingly implying that his supporters could stop Hillary Clinton from appointing Supreme Court justices by assassinating her.
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment,” the candidate said at a rally in North Carolina on Tuesday (August 9). “By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”
Celebs like Patricia Arquette, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jaime King, Sarah Hyland, Josh Groban, and more spoke out to slam Trump for his comments.
#Trump has just nailed his own coffin. He has just convinced his own party that he is a complete lunatic.

Donald Trump just asked his supporters to basically kill Hillary Clinton. Does he withdraw today or does this keep going?
