Partial excerpt of the speech:
But so the problem is not that all Republicans think the way this guy does. The problem is, is that they’ve been riding this tiger for a long time. They’ve been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years — (applause) — primarily for political expedience. So if Trump was running around saying I wasn’t born here, they were okay with that as long as it helped them with votes. If some of these folks on talk radio started talking about how I was the anti-Christ, you know, it’s just politics. (Laughter.) You think I’m joking. (Laughter.)
If somebody completely denies climate change, or is filled up with all kinds of conspiracy theories about how me and Hillary started ISIL, or that we were plotting to declare martial law and take away everybody’s guns.
We did a military exercise — the Pentagon does these periodically in Texas, and suddenly all the folks in Texas were all like, they’re going to take over right now! (Laughter.) I’m serious. And then the senator down there said, yeah, we better look into that. (Laughter.) And the governor says, well, I don’t know. What do you mean you don’t know? (Laughter.) What does that mean? (Applause.) Really? You think that like the entire Pentagon said, oh, really, you want to declare martial law and take over Texas? Let’s do it under the guise of routine training missions — (laughter) — and everybody is going to be — but they took it seriously.
This is in the swamp of crazy that has been fed over and over and over and over again. (Applause.)

I got the distinct impression he just declared war on conspiracy theorists and GOP and swamp of crazies.
I live in Texas in a town where Jade Helm was held TWICE that I know of. These weren't ordinary military, they took over our airport that used to be an Airforce Base, all in unmarked vehicles wearing unmarked uniforms or plain clothes, refuse to answer any questions. These weren't ordinary military, dudes were built like Schwarzenegger and Vin Diesel. There was NOTHING routine about it, the base closed in 1975. OF COURSE THE PEOPLE GOT ANXIOUS!!!! This stuttering imbecile idiot blasts Abbott too.....Abbott backed up his citizens, a think Obama has no f'ing clue about.
Anyway, combine this with the fact that he gave our internet away.
