President Trump: Democrats Have Gone Wacko 10/9/18 Council Bluffs Iowa
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA – President Trump on Tuesday celebrated the installation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and savaged Democrats who opposed his nomination at a raucous campaign rally in a key battleground state.
“The Democrats have become too extreme and they’ve become, frankly, too dangerous to govern. They've gone wacko," the president said, prompting cheers from the crowd at the 9,000 seat Mid-America Center.
A seemingly upbeat Trump hailed the confirmation of Kavanaugh as the apex of a "historic week for America" but warned thousands of supporters donning his signature red campaign hats that Democrats might try to force him off the court.
"Besides that, I have to go first, right?" Trump quipped about impeachment.
"If Democrats take control they will try to reverse our amazing progress and plunge our country into gridlock and maybe into poverty and ultimately into chaos," Trump said.
Some of the loudest roars came when Trump mocked Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, for denying that she leaked Christine Blasey Ford's accusations to the media.
"In other words, did she leak it? 100 percent. I don't want to get sued. 99 percent," Trump said.
That prompted a deafening chant of "lock her up" from the crowd, a slogan typically reserved for his former Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
"I think they're talking about Feinstein. Can you believe it," Trump said.
When Trump mentioned his 2016 Democratic opponent later in the rally, attendees revived the "lock her up chant."
