"us" let's make sure this is right. Can anyone offer transcript or video?

This is Politico's transcript

TRUMP: What about this? What about the fact that they came charging – they came charging with clubs in their hands swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do.

We are better than them. We are fact based. Did he say "us"?

4. It was this one, and "em" doesn't make any sense and he doesn't say "em" as a matter of habit ...

Also, Red Don is tribal and dumb ... he's not going to defend people who's not part of his squad

FUAX news edited out the "at us" part

me and completed his statement.

I was getting a drink at the time and asked my husband if he said uh or us, because it sounded like us.

McClatchy caught the garble too. Note the ????.

From http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article167364607.html

TRUMP: No, define it for me, come on. Let's go. Define it for me.

QUESTION: Senator McCain defined them as the same group...

TRUMP: OK, what about the alt-left that came charging them (ph)? Excuse me. What about the alt-left that came charging at the – as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt?

QUESTION: Mr. Trump...

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: Let me ask you this. What about the fact they came charging – that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do.


That isn't a double past and copy, he asked it twice.

No it's "that came charging at 'em."

Be fact based. It won't fly to try to hear that as "us". Be glad we have a President that at least didn't say "us".
