".@realDonaldTrump makes death threats because he's a pathetic coward who can't handle the fact that he's losing to a girl," Warren tweeted.

During a rally Tuesday in North Carolina, Trump was talking about his Democratic rival appointing liberal justices to the Supreme Court if she wins the White House.

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” Trump said to boos from the crowd.

“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” he added.

“Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know.”

His comments were met with immediate backlash. The Clinton campaign said Trump's comments were "dangerous," adding that a person running for president "should not suggest violence in any way."

In response, Trump's campaign downplayed the controversy in a statement attacking the media as "dishonest."

“It’s called the power of unification – 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” Jason Miller, a top Trump aide, said in the statement.
