Trump Accuses Fire Marshal Of Voting Clinton After Restricting Rally Goers

[RandySF]

Donald Trump tore into a fire marshal Friday after Trump's campaign was apparently told more people could not be let in, accusing him of being a Hillary Clinton voter.

During a campaign stop in Colorado Springs, Trump lambasted Colorado Springs Fire Marshall, identified by The Hill as Brett Lacey, as soon as he walked on stage, saying restrictions on attendees at his rally that Lacey apparently imposed were why America "doesn't work."

“So I have to tell you this. This is why our country doesn’t work,” Trump said. “We have plenty of space here. We have thousands of people outside trying to get in. And we have a fire marshal that said, ‘Oh we can’t allow more people.’"

Trump let the crowd know that the campaign set up overflow rooms for those who could not get into the main site. He went on to say while it "wasn't his fault," he was entertaining the idea that the reason why is because the fire marshall is a Clinton supporter.

"The reason they won't let them in is because they don't know what the hell they're doing," he said. "That's why, okay? Too bad. That's why our country has -- hey, maybe they're a Hillary person. Could that be possible? Probably. I don't think there are too many of them. I don't think there are too many of them."

1. He's already losing his shit...

and I LOVE it. Just think of the crap he's going to pull during the Olympics when political coverage typically comes to a halt. He's going to do something ridiculous...I can't wait!

[MichiganVote]

5. Yup. Sure is.

[Jim__]

2. What the hell does a fire marshal know about how many people can safely fit into a room?

Doesn't that fire marshal realize that Donald has a very good brain?

[yallerdawg]

3. See, this is what is so scary about Trump.

He's in the hotel/casino business all his life!

He knows about fire hazards, exits, occupancy limits. It's his business!

And he throws out this red meat vilifying the very thing that is keeping his fans safe - because it's dog whistle "government regulation."

There are voices out their warning us, this guy is crazy like a fox.

[Peregrine Took]

4. If his dumbass "fans" are supposed to be working people - why don't they stick up for one of their

own instead of chuckling away at the poor SOB being publically humiliated. So much for worker solidarity.

[louis-t]

12. Because the Fire Marshall is an "over-paid gub-mint, worker".

I hope Drumpf's habit of berating the little guy will eventually collapse his campaign.

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Butt hurt much, Cinnamon Hitler?

Dang, what a jerk.

[Hekate]

7. He sounds loonier and loonier

Sadly, his name is still on the ballot

[treestar]

8. How does Donald think he knows better

than the fire marshall ? ? ?

[HipChick]

9. So if you dont agree with him..

Automatically you are an Clinton supporter?

The Fire Marshall is looking out for people's lives..

[cutroot]

10. His fans don't even realize, that if there were a fire...

He would be quickly and safely escorted out a secure rear entrance. They would be the ones taking all of the risk while he takes all of the credit.

[Kber]

11. Well, if he wasn't before, he might be one now.

[glennward]

13. Whiner-in-chief. nt

14. Fire marshal responds after being called out by Trump at UCCS rally

"There's an old adage that when a fire marshal walks into a room, milk curdles. So because we're always looking out for public safety and trying to make certain venues go off successfully and safely sometimes there are people that aren't very happy with some of the rules and regulations were required to enforce. But it doesn't bother me at all," he said.
