Joe Walsh was defending his tweet this morning where he said “If Trump loses I’m grabbing my musket. You in?”
Walsh told CNN this was not a call to arms because he used the word ‘musket’.

Sounds like Walsh is trying to play on a technicality to get out of what he suggested.
I think what’s really going on here is he gets emotional (or maybe a little tipsy) and tweets something out irresponsible that he later has to either delete or try and justify like this. I think he really just needs to do a better job of restraining himself in the first place.
