Sandford allegedly tried to pull a gun from the holster of a police officer at a Trump rally in Las Vegas on Saturday. He was arrested and later told the Secret Service that he had driven to the event from California and had been planning to kill the candidate for a year,according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada

It's worth noting that the real estate magnate didn't bring it up, either. Trump hasn't so much as tweeted about it, which suggests he doesn't consider it a huge deal or doesn't want to talk about it.

Good job getting the word out fellas.

pretty bad plan.... after a whole year thats all he could come up with? hope he can get a cops gun and still get off a kill shot? sounds like a clinton supporter for sure

He should've said he was a time traveler sent back from the future.

I have a feeling it isn't getting more play because many of the people railing against illegal immigration don't really care about white British guys overstaying their visas.

Besides, what British guy overstays their visa unless they're waiting for a dentist appointment?

Somebody's taking Brexit a little too literally.
