Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles if you want to see some bad things happen,\u201d Trump said. \u201cYou want to see a country that would be in free fall?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We protect our country. <!-- -->We\u2019re not letting that happen,\u201d he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Trump\u2019s original comments had drawn sharp criticism from California Democrats. Governor Gavin Newsom accused the president of being \u201cderanged and dangerous\u201d, while Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the remarks could potentially compromise the safety of the city.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Bass said she may ask Congress to investigate Trump\u2019s comments, according to NBC News. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria also pushed back against the remarks, saying the city was \u201cnot collateral damage\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The White House defended Trump, saying his comments had been misrepresented. White House communications director Steven Cheung said Trump was referring to what could have happened if Iran had developed nuclear weapons.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Trump made the remarks during a rally aimed at boosting Texas Republicans ahead of the midterm elections. He campaigned for attorney general Ken Paxton, who is running for the Senate against Democrat James Talarico.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The rally also reflected the political tensions surrounding Trump as Republicans prepare for the midterms. The president was repeatedly interrupted by protesters during his nearly two-hour speech.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Trump also announced that former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling the former seven-time Cy Young Award winner deserving of the honour.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/news\/let-them-hit-los-angeles-trump-clarifies-iran-war-remarks-says-he-wont-let-that-happen\/articleshow\/134788618.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporters of US President Donald Trump listen as he speaks during a rally.
