Warren: Trump has incited his voters to kill people

By David Weigel September 18 at 5:13 PM

CLEVELAND — It was billed as part of a rebooted Clinton campaign pitch to millennials — Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) stumping at two Ohio universities not long after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) did the same. Warren, who entered politics after decades as a popular economics writer and academic, spent the first 10 minutes of her speech retelling the history of liberal economics since 1932, from the Great Depression to the civil rights era. In the "economy that worked," Warren said, "90 percent of people got 70 percent of all new income."

As she talked, a protester occasionally yelled out slogans — "DNC cheated!" and later "Hillary is oligarchy." When some Clinton staffers moved to ask the protester to leave, she and three companions — all young and wearing tokens of support for Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein — yelled "Jill Not Hill!" as cameras followed their exit.

Warren paused. "I actually think it is very important to talk about what's happening in this race," she said. "I know that presidential races can get intense. I know that people can sometimes say things they won't mean. But Donald Trump has repeatedly invited his followers to commit a terrible act of violence on his opponents."

"Yes!" said voters in the audience.

"He has invited them to kill another human being more than once," Warren said.
