Trump Talks to Press After Casting Ballot, Snipes at Reporter Who Asks Him About Post-Election Violence: ‘You Believe in Violence!’

After casting his ballot on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump took questions from reporters and tried to turn a question about violence back on one of them.

With his wife Melania Trump by his side, Trump expressed his confidence that there was a lot of Republican turnout that would mean an election victory for him. But when a reporter asked if he was going to urge his supporters not to engage in violence, he defended them as “great people” and “not violent”:

REPORTER: Are you telling your supporters that there should be no violence–

TRUMP: I don’t have to tell them that. I don’t have to tell them that, that there’ll be no violence. Of course there will be no violence. My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that. I certainly don’t want any violence. But I certainly don’t have to tell — these are great people. These are people that believe in no violence. Unlike your question. You believe in violence.

The crowd that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 were Trump supporters. The man who broke into the home of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and hit her husband Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer was also a Trump supporter. And recently, a teenage Trump supporter was arrested for brandishing a machete at a polling location in Florida.
