Donald Trump said Sunday on Meet the Press that he's looking into paying the legal fees of the 78-year-old supporter who sucker-punched a black protester at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Wednesday.
'I've actually instructed my people to look into it, yes,' Trump told NBC's Chuck Todd.
The Republican frontrunner did a tour of the Sunday shows this morning and was asked questions about the bouts of violence at his campaign events in recent days.

Bad bad move Trump. You do not want this. That sucker punch was wrong.
The "protester" should have stayed his ass home then.
I hope he is referring to paint damages as well.
Reparations!
Good.
good.
I am glad Trump is doing this.
The left needs to know we are not going to put up with their crap at our rallies.
Total non-issue in my mind.
Sounds VERY REASONABLE by Trump. No one that attends a Trump rally should have to worry about having their life ruined by a paid DISRUPTER.
As Trump said, his people will review the tapes, figure out whether the punch was justified, and if justified, Trump will make sure that the life of his supporter IS NOT RUINED.
A lot of us here have been waiting FOR DECADES for a candidate that actually RESPECTS his supporters./
Perhaps, but OP has it right.
Wasn’t a punch, it was a quick elbow
Good.
This is the first time I think he’s making a poor decision. The old guy was wrong. This makes to look like a setup.
Why the left has such an army of disruptors and rioters is that they bail them out of jail no matter what, they provide legal counsel, and they even, in many cases, pay their goons to go out and riot. To the left, rioters, no matter how nasty, are THEIR PEOPLE, and they take care of them no matter what.
Someone should start a legit internet fund raiser.
A lot of us would donate since we are not donating to the GOPE anymore!
Good to know we have all these Truump supporters that believe it’s fair game sucker punch people you disagree with. At this point, all I see is people with the moral integrity of the blm crowd. You are not conservatives. You are traitors, rabble-rousers with no commitment to the rule of law.
I think that's the proper approach as opposed to just throwing his supporter under the bus.
Yes, he said he didn’t know. He would look into it. Sounds like an open-minded, fair position to take. Chris Wallace was trying to pin him down. Donald doesn’t fall for that tactic.
“Wasn’t a punch, it was a quick elbow”
Muay Thai technique. Don’t mess with Grandpa.
Never wrong to punch a protester. I’ll defend him for free. A 70 year old punches a 18 year old for talking shit....I love it. Remember the “Knock out games in Philly”....18 year old hitting old people, etc.
We are up against brain-washed, useful idiots of the Leftist establishment who are doing the elites' dirty work.
I do not want to "understand" them, or break bread with them.
My objective is to destroy them politically, and possibly literally when that time will come.
Trump has encouraged his supporters to fight back whenever these paid mobs try to infringe on his and his supporters 1st Amendment rights and I wholeheartedly agree with him.
