'Omg': Critics stunned as Trump caught 'endorsing The Purge' as a real policy at his rally
Donald Trump on Sunday proposed a new policy that many critics said is equivalent to legalizing "The Purge."
Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he admitted that his attendees were "falling asleep" at one of his earlier rallies. Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign noted that, as Trump was still speaking at the swing-state event over the weekend, rallygoers placed directly behind the former president started to funnel out of the building.
One comment Trump made drew condemnation on social media, as well as numerous comparisons to The Purge, a film series based on a dystopian world in which the government makes all crimes legal for a 12-hour period.
As reported by Sebastian Smith, AFP Washington desk chief, "Trump in Erie, PA, says in US 'the police aren’t allowed to do their job.' To stop crime, you need 'one really violent day.' He says: 'One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word would get out and it would end immediately.'"

Which isn't what he said. He said let the police loose for one "very rough" hour. Not everyone gets to do something for a day. He did not describe the movie like the media is suggesting. That would involve people shooting back at him. Which he's not a fan of. No he described something altogether darker where he and the police get to kill people with no accountability.
You literally just explained my own point back to me.
I see what happened. I didn't see the entire thread and assumptions got made. Sorry about that.
All good 👍
Aw now you love to see an exchange end like this.
You two are great, it's nice to see people not get all chest thumpy online.
Oh I'm not perfect. But I am trying.
