Hours after initially condemning former Attorney General President Donald Trump for saying “When they go low, we kick ’em,” President Donald Trump followed up with an ominous remark — saying that the nation’s former top cop “better be careful what he’s wishing for.”

In a phone interview with Fox & Friends Thursday, the president made his remark after video of Holder’s comment was played.

“He better be careful what he’s wishing for,” Trump said. “That I can tell you. He better be careful for what he’s wishing for. That’s a disgusting statement for him to make.”

Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy asked Trump what he meant. The president didn’t elaborate much further — only launching into a general defense against charges he encouraged violence at rallies.

“For him to make a statement like that is a very dangerous statement,” Trump said. “You know, they talk about us. We are exactly the opposite. The rallies where they send people — I heard somebody yesterday, on your show actually, talking about my rallies — and my rallies are really calm, and well-run, and packed with people. We don’t have problems at our rallies.

“But they used to send in — they don’t do it anymore, they haven’t, maybe they’ll try starting again — but they

used to send in protesters, paid protesters. The Democrats, and [George] Soros, and they came from all over. And we’d have protesters. And, I would say this, that it wasn’t so successful for those protesters. But they have to be careful with the rhetoric because it is very dangerous what Holder says.”
