Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein has also addressed Trump’s comments, tweeting: “Gun violence is no laughing matter, we need a President who understands it’s not funny to call on people to shoot opponents. Disarm Trump.” Trump, however, has denied the comments were a call to assassinate Hillary Clinton. On Tuesday, his campaign issued a statement saying he was referring to the Second Amendment supporters’ “amazing spirit and … great political power.”
