Meet the Trump Delegates.
Trump Delegate Says Current US Leaders May Need to Be "Killed"
Last December, Donald Trump's presidential campaign approved David Riden to be a delegate candidate on the Tennessee ballot, and when the state held its primary in March, voters selected Riden to go to the Republican National Convention.
Riden told Mother Jones in an interview that US leaders who violate the Constitution may have to be done away with: "The polite word is 'eliminated,'" he said. "The harsh word is 'killed.'"
A different Trump delegate wrote an article, obtained by Mother Jones, that was published in the 1990s by a group opposing the federal government.
Collins A. Bailey of Waldorf, Maryland, who was approved by Trump as a delegate from that state's 5th Congressional District, wrote an article in 1995 that appeared in the newsletter of a Patriot group called United Sovereigns of America.
An accompanying article in the newsletter, urged readers to "stockpile food, water, guns and ammunition," and to "never surrender your weapons."
And that delegate's son—also a Trump delegate—was arrested recently on federal weapons and child pornography charges.
