    Reads like a reporter yelled out the question as Trump was leaving:

    “Will you tell your supporters now, no matter what, no violence?” a reporter asked Mr Trump as he left the briefing [emphasis mine]."

    So I can walk up and yell a question at a political figure, get no answer, and the non-answer is newsworthy?

    FFS, there is plenty of facts damning Trump in the article, but this ain’t it. Or did anyone read it? Watch all the linked videos. NONE of them show this event. NONE.

    Reddit 2.0: Upvote the posts you already believe in and downvote opinions.

    It would be child’s play to support Trump on Fox News.

    “Social media site claims bullshit. We dug and dug, couldn’t find evidence.”

    “Hey OP! Will you (within 3 seconds) deny that you fucked a 12-yo and enjoy Osama Bin Laden albums?!”

    “OP is pedophile and endorses terrorism!”

    My liberal brethren, wake the fuck up. They’re not playing the same game as you and not preaching to the same audience. BS like this only dilutes your points, makes you sound weak.

      Here’s the video, it’s in the article. Yes, there were reporters calling questions as he walked away, but they all stopped talking except this one, who spoke loudly and at a reasonable cadence, and Trump’s pace and body language suggest that he heard every word, and still chose not to answer. Is it as big a deal as the title makes it out to be? Not at all. Is it absolutely nothing at all, nothing to see here? I don’t think it’s that, either.

        I mean… he had already walked away from the mic by the time the question started and by the time the question was finished he was out of sight as the reporter reached the word “violence”.

        This is just a click bait article capitalizing on Trump for clicks.

      Big “When did you stop hitting your wife” energy

      We all know the guy’s an asshole. You don’t have to make things up.
