President Donald Trump made a controversial statement at a campaign rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, saying that leakers should be shot. He was speaking about the run-up to the Iran war and claimed that information about a military strike was leaked to the press.
What happened
During the rally, Trump expressed his frustration with leakers, stating that they should be punished severely. He claimed that the leak of information about B-2 bombers departing from Missouri forced him to call off a raid on Iran. Trump also used the opportunity to justify the war in Iran, citing the need to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Trump's comments were met with cheers and applause from the crowd. He also took the opportunity to attack his political opponents, including incumbent Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, whom he labeled a 'dumb person.' The rally was intended to boost support for GOP gubernatorial candidate Representative Andy Biggs.
