I'm seeing the Democrats' and the media's reaction to this quote from Donald Trump and I'm immediately reminded of exactly how it felt to cover the Trump administration for Twitchy. There's this great fear on the Left that Trump would use a second term to go after his "political opponents" or his "enemies." That's why, when Trump says he'd use the National Guard or the military against "the enemy within," Democrats and the media all think he's talking about them. Here's what he told Maria Bartiromo Sunday:
Trump to Bartiromo on what worries him about election day: "I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within ... sick people, radical left lunatics. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military." pic.twitter.com/twRsilNJnz
