.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump responds to ‘lock them up’ chant in an unsettling way.
Toward the end of his campaign rally in Pennsylvania last night, Donald Trump used some ridiculous rhetoric that, alas, has become quite routine.
At this point, the president started to return to his prepared remarks – and his usual wrap-up rhetoric – when his followers interrupted him with a chant. “Lock them up,” they said, “Lock them up.” “Well,” Trump told his audience, “we have a great new attorney general who’s going to give it a very fair look.”The president quickly added, “You have always been loyal to this nation. Now you finally have a president who is loyal to you. It’s taken you a long time.”
Those who recoiled in discomfort can take solace in the fact that they weren’t alone. Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, suggested that this portion of the far-right rally had “shades of 1937.”
