Crowd chants 'lock her up' at Trump rally in West Virginia

Source: The Hill

The crowd at President Trump’s West Virginia rally broke into chants of “lock her up” on Tuesday night.

The chants were in response to GOP Senate candidate Patrick Morrissey’s comments on former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but came just hours after two of Trump’s former allies were found guilty and pleaded guilty to crimes, respectively.

Morrissey criticized Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) for his praise of Clinton, saying that he called her “warm, compassionate, engaging.”

“Can you actually believe that?” Morrissey said, at which point the crowd began the chant. The crowd also chanted “drain the swamp.”

Hours after Trump's campaign manager is convicted and his personal attorney pleads guilty to conspiring with the President to violate campaign finance laws, folks attending a Trump rally demand that Hillary Clinton be thrown in jail.

1. They've become

like trained monkeys. Thoughtless responses with little meaning.

[The Genealogist]

3. One trick ponies

All they have to cling to is their deranged hatred of someone who doesn't even hold public office anymore. They all need to just get a life.

8. Exactly Traitor don is a One Trick Pony

2. Ivanka?

36. Bloody Hell YES!

[The Liberal Lion]

4. So much for reasoning with the trumpites

[Mrs. Overall]

5. Are they paid to show up?

I can't help but think that portions of these "rallies" are staged.

[relayerbob]

9. That's what I'm wondering also

[PatSeg]

12. I read recently

that Trump is still paying people to show up at rallies. I think it was in Arizona, but can't find anything about it now.

[ffr]

6. I wished that crap stories like this wouldn't be posted. Who gives a fuck what deplorables say?

Honestly! Fuck 'em!

22. Exactly.

27. I love border collies

One of our family dogs is one, and my daughter got one last year as well. We also have an aussie/sheltie mix, and my daughter just got a sheltie this past weekend.

[jalan48]

31. My son had a lab/border collie. He was always on alert.

[exboyfil]

32. Yes keeping the herd together is their main job

When we just had Arlo our BC he would always position himself so that he could guard all three bedrooms. When we got Splash our Aussie/Sheltie she slept with our older daughter so Arlo took up just guarding my younger daughter and my wife and mine's bedroom. When the older daughter went to college, then Splash slept with the younger daughter and Arlo moved into our room. Now that my younger daughter works nights, both dogs sleep in our room.

Arlo will never let anyone get left behind when walking. He is especially careful of my young nieces and nephews and makes sure their are no stragglers.

33. He sounds like a great dog. I've had several dogs in my life, all different, but all wonderful.

44. My step-daughter has a labradoodle and an aussie/sheltie

The a/s is constantly herding the doodle. When the doodle has had enough of this, she sits on the a/s.

10. They're SO original.

11. If, after today's events.........

that doesn't prove that they are brain dead, I just don't know what would.............

13. A guy I know used to live in Baltimore...

He lives in Georgia now.

But he told me there was a favorite saying in Baltimore, about West Virginia.

(I've never been there myself.)

He said "There is stupid, and there is WV stupid."

The OP is just one example, to me of this.

[SergeStorms]

37. I'm sure there are a lot of intelligent people from WV.

That being said, I think a solid majority are functionally illiterate. If I were born and raised in WV, and GOP dumb, I think I'd want to overdose on opioids ASAP. It's no coincidence that WV has the highest rate of opioid overdoses (per capita) in the U.S. and went for Donald Trump in the 2016 election.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. But we are supposed to "reach out" to these people and "understand them".

[SCVDem]

15. They act like ISIS terrorists.

Blind loyalty to a meaningless and false cause.

If I were the FBI, I would keep an eye on all of them!

[keithbvadu2]

17. Right wingers whine that liberals can't get over Hillary losing.

Right wingers whine that liberals can't get over Hillary losing.

They cannot get over the fact that Hillary got more votes.

[Politicub]

18. These people are nuts

[tavernier]

19. Oh, there is locking up going on, and much more to come,

but it won’t be Hillary. They can bark like seals to their banjo music and dance naked in the moonlight to their rotted pumpkin head god, and Hillary still won’t be going to jail.

But we know who will.

[rpannier]

20. Ivanka?

Kelly Conway?

[cntrfthrs]

23. 4 legs good! 2 legs bad! 4 legs good! 2 legs bad! 4 legs......

[Glamrock]

26. Fuck yes man

You nailed it!

[JohnnyRingo]

24. Trump plants staffers in his crowds to start chants.

It's all scripted as a reality show.

[hurple]

25. Really?

They think Cohen is a female?

Or Manafort?

Wow! They are confused!

[Turbineguy]

28. Some want to be

on the wrong side of history.

[Doodley]

29. Low IQ bigots - ask any of them for details of Clinton"s crimes and they have nothing.

[vercetti2021]

30. It's West Virginia

The whole state matches to .5 IQ points total

[Varaddem]

34. K through 12 is a national security issue

Maybe not so much there

38. "The crowd also chanted "drain the swamp."

Funny how the deplorables have reinterpreted the meaning.

Its had a few interpretations, but the most common accepted one was coined by Ronald Reagan about reducing the bureaucrats and general size of government. Or from a more liberal view, draining the lobbyist swamp of interests to only those rich enough to pay to play.

The deplorables have been so conditioned now for years for it to mean that the swamp people are in fact all the Democrats. They are to be 'drained', and then everything will be great again.

[muriel_volestrangler]

40. The swamp is a sizeable part of the Republican finance team

See https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211031694 . Not all of them are under active criminal investigation - some are just lobbyists for evil countries or corporations.

[Racerdog1]

39. Right out of "Deliverance"

Look at these people that attend these gatherings. The "I love the poorly educated" statement by the Orange asshole never rings more true. Most with the IQ of a rock. If you have never been to West Virginia, you may not understand. If you have, you know what a shithole it is.

[Vinca]

41. That's so bizarre. Don't these people have eyes and ears?????

[Snellius]

42. Isn't this the last season of "The Walking Dead"? Spoiler Alert:

They all eat themselves at the end.

[watoos]

43. It's just projection

I sit back and laugh at them. I live amongst them in Central Pa., I stopped debating them long ago. I just use sharp barb remarks that can't be defended because they will never change.

[Mc Mike]

45. A double think mob.

[Nitram]

46. The FBI should be populating a database with Trump supporters who participate in the "Lock'er Up!"

chant at political rallies for Trump. Clear proof of subversive activity, complete separation from reality, and potential danger to themselves and others when gathered in groups.

[BlueIdaho]

47. How is this even news anymore?

Not aimed at you TomCADem - but seriously... Why should the news media even report this any more... it’s a set piece... it’s part of the furniture at every trump rally, it’s like Dolly Parten signing 9 to 5 in a concert... You know it’s gonna happen so where the hell is the news?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

48. Any chance they were chanting about Betsy DeVos?

Nah, didn't think so.

But I can dream.
