WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s campaign is protesting what it calls Donald Trump’s “pattern of inciting people to violence.”

The campaign is reacting to remarks Trump made at a rally in Florida Friday night, when he called for Clinton’s Secret Service agents to be stripped of their firearms — and then added, “let’s see what happens to her.”

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook has released a statement saying, “This kind of talk should be out of bounds for a presidential candidate.”

Mook says, “It is time Republican leaders stand up to denounce this disturbing behavior in their nominee.”
