the president in re-election mode. the campaign launched at an evening rally that was vintage trump. an airing of old grievances against the mueller report, democrats, immigrants, dave briggs. even his 2016 opponent, hillary clinton. we went through the greatest witch hunt in political history. the only collusion was committed by the democrats. on no issue are democrats more extreme and more depraved than when it comes to border security. remember, the insurance policy just in case hillary clinton lost. remember the insurance policy? lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. sources tell cnn the president has been complaining to aides that cable networks have largely
security. remember, the insurance policy just in case hillary clinton lost. remember the insurance policy. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. lock her up. sources tell cnn the president has been complaining to aides that cable networks have largely stopped airing his rallies live as they did in 2016. campaign source telling cnn officials they hoped the rally would satisfy his thirst for the spotlight and reset the campaign. instead, we heard the same familiar refrains. cnn s kate collins was in orlando and brings us more. reporter: dave and michelle, the president s campaign leading up to this has branded this rally as this blockbuster launch of the president s re-election campaign where he s going to swoop in and steal the limelight back from democrats.
because the person who he mentioned the most he didn t mention you at all. he mentioned joe biden once. he mentioned hillary clinton more than any other person that he mentioned in that campaign in that campaign speech tonight as an opponent as if it were four years ago, and i just wanted to give you let you hear one moment of the crowd reacting to him talking about hillary clinton. let s listen to that. remember, the insurance policy just in case hillary clinton lost. remember the insurance policy. so it s still a lock her up rally. yeah, but that s further further another example of the fact that this president wants us to keep looking in the rear view mirror instead of looking out of the front
close. nobody s done what we have done in two and a half years. [cheers and applause] we went through the greatest witch-hunt in political history. the only collusion was committed by the democrats, the fake news media, and their operatives and the people who funded the phony dossier, crooked hillary clinton and the dnc. it was all an illegal attempt to overturn the results of the election, spy on our campaign, which is what they did, and subvert our democracy. remember, the insurance policy just in case hillary clinton lost. remember the insurance policy. [chanting]
