Or same week that Glen Beck made the stabbing and Trump being like Hitler comments?
When I head Beck say the things he did, I thought out loud...he is using Alinsky tactics on Trump.
These thugs who attacked me and my 60 year old woman friend were not protesters...they were mob style rent-a-thugs...I was there and saw both.
Saw many people, some supporting Trump, some opposing, and then there were BLM protesters and muslim CAIR protesters...but the people that pounded on the windows of the car, sprayed stuff, etc. were not any of those groups...I did nothing to them and they were seething with pent up range not because of Trump...
The media made a huge deal about the KKK endorsement which turned out to be bogus BTW...and that may be why the thugs were screaming RACIST RACIST at the top of their lungs...but it was rage...not protest...
The media, other candidates and GOPe did nothing to correct the record on that...and so those people think Trump is a racist....he is not...I hold them responsible not Trump.
By blaming Trump, the other candidates and media just gave the thugs a pass and encouragement to do more.

Unfortunately there’s a huge perception out there that Trump’s a racist. I see it in everyday people. I don’t think he is, but I think Trump is playing the dog whistle to try and get votes from people who are racists or lean that way in one way or another. That is where Trump is getting himself into trouble.
It’s not the job of the other candidates to correct that record. Trump’s gone down that road himself and he’s the one who has to dig himself out of the hole. It’s very silly to hold everyone responsible except the man who created that perception about himself to begin with. No one’s calling Cruz, Rubio or Kasich racist. It’s one thing if they say our guys are racist because they oppose affirmative action. They might say that, but it’s not a charge that will stick or get people as riled up as they are about Trump.
Trump has unfortunately emboldened the protestors by backing out of the rally. His visions of campaigning in Democrat states and districts and getting the minority, Hispanic and black vote seem to be more quixotic with each passing day.
