The media magnet that is presidential candidate Donald Trump is once again under attack (is he ever not?) for some comments he made in the wake of the Paris attacks earlier this month. In an interview Trump made claims that the Paris attacks would have ended differently had the people in the theater been armed.
The specific attack he’s referring to is the one that took place at the Bataclan Theater, where 89 people were killed and several others injured. Later on, Trump took to Twitter to point out that the attacks took place in a country with some of the strictest gun control in the world.
The French Ambassador to the United States, Gerard Araud, was quick to offer a rebuke, calling Trump a vulture and pointing out the lack of human decency in his comments. He later deleted the tweet, but Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report”, he defended his deleted tweet.
See what Araud said on the next page.
They only want the guns so they can walk all over us, and ram any radical measure down our throats. Gun control has never been about safety. It has and always be about control.
and they use bombs
America got it’s freedom by armed men and the grace of God!!
That is what you get from a French man… Wait… Didnt Germany roll over France in WWI and then again in WWII… Who was it, with guns, that liberated France from Germany… Yeah… Stay on out of it DUMAS…
Idjiot!
Funny how’s your security detail Ambassador? Are they toting nerf guns .?
Oh how French. Rather watch his people murdered and whine about someone else than to lift a finger himself.
We see how well that is working out for France.
Well you brought in one of the strictest gun controls in your own country, and you continued laughing at all of us Americans fighting for our gun rights. Try dealing with the REALITY of REAL LIFE and realize that when all of us Americans watched what happened there in Paris, we were on your side and you had all of our prayers as well. Your situation may have showed we were correct about our gun beliefs, but there is really never any enjoyment about being correct, yet seeing all the deaths and serial injuries does not make it any better. But, I do believe that the real lesson should have been learned for so many reasons in the first place.
Let me see now just exactly how many times have the French surrendered ? It seems to be what they do best.
