The White House slammed Donald Trump asserted there can be no political justification for violence after the former threatened to incite riots if he is denied the Republican presidential nomination.
The White House also argued that Democratic Presidential front runner Hillary Clinton has received more votes than him thereby dismissing a Trump being a popular candidate as many Republicans haven’t voted for the real estate tycoon.
“We would call on everyone to refrain from violence. And theres no political justification, no political dispute among citizens that would justify an act of violence. Theres no denying that,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters at his daily news conference.
“That said, I dont think I would use the word popularity when describing Trump. I think there are a significant number of Republicans, even people in his own party, who say that they would not vote for him.I noted that it was even the Wall Street Journal editorial board who observed that Secretary Clinton has got a million more votes than Trump has,” he said.
“So I recognise thats a fact that he does not enjoy seeing discussed particularly often, but its true. It is why the President will be a forceful advocate in support of a Democratic nominee who emerges, because the stakes of the next election will be significant,” he said.
Earnest said the President will have a forceful case to make that the values and priorities that have been championed by Democrats on the campaign trail are critically important to the future success of the country, “particularly in the comparison to the rhetoric and values that are be espoused by a variety of Republican candidates, not just one.”
“The President, as hes said on a couple of occasions, is not concerned about the potential that Donald Trump is going to be elected President. He just doesnt think thats going to happen,” Earnest said.
Democratic Republican candidate Donald Trump threatened to incite a riot if he was going to lose the key state of Ohio.
No one can affect the integrity of United States and we believe from the violence there is no nation or leader can survive with better living. So don’t make such statements that shows bad politics.
