"Lock her up": Trump falsely claims he never embraced calls for jailing Hillary Clinton

Salon  

Donald Trump, facing the threat of a prison sentence after jurors convicted him on 34 felony charges, is now denying that he ever used "Lock her up" as a rallying cry against his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton. "You famously said, regarding Hillary Clinton, ‘Lock her up.’" said Cain. "Hillary Clinton — I didn’t say, ‘Lock her up,’ but the people would all say, ‘Lock her up, lock her up.’ OK. Then we won, and I said pretty openly, I’d say, ‘Alright, come on, just relax. We gotta make our country great.’" But Trump's many statements on the campaign trail and after his election easily prove his claim false.
