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.

Bless you, we understand how difficult this time period is for Cruz supporters. After Cruz came out on the side of organized, violent, thugs disrupting the planned Trump rally in Chicago... his support level here according to the nightly Free Republic Caucus dropped from 23% to 17%. This translates to an over 25% drop in one night. I was really worried that these threads would start to become pro-Trump echo chambers. So I am very relieved to find that the insults and irrational belief in a Elmer Gantry style charlatan will continue as usual.
And Donald hasn't decided anything at this point.
He just wants to make sure they don't crucify this 78 year old.
What is a sucker punch?
Good for Trump.
Finally we have a real man running for the office of President.
Me thinks he has some ring experience
Usually it is elderly white folks that are victims of the ‘knockout game’. Lots of squealing when the former victims want their turn at bat.
78 year old. The type guy usually targeted in the ‘knockout’ game. No wonder he was in reasonable fear for his life.
I expect the protester to file his own law suit against Trump and old guy.
Sneaky.....don’t have any idea it was going to happen
it was NOT an assault.... no no no
HE WAS MERELY PLAYING THE “KNOCKOUT GAME” ...
see it’s a game invented by blacks and NOW THEY TOO CAN PLAY....
to deny them this participation would be racist,
and we dont need any racist behavior... right...???
I wish I could be in that good of physical shape when I am 78!
Loud mouth protester gets KO’d by a 78 year old codger!
Nice to have someone running who isn’t always about political moves isn’t it.
So he shouldn’t get a legal defense because he was wrong? Interesting.
I so agree. After watching the incident in Dayton, I noticed Trump didn’t even flinch. He’s one tough guy.
I THINK he has a right to an attorney though. Trump said he got carried away and it was wrong. He didn’t condone it. I’m not 100% sure but I THINK he still has a right to an attorney. It’s a nice gesture to pay his legal fees (If he’s allowed to have a defense team); nothing more
No one has mentioned that the “old white dude” is a quarter Cherokee Indian, but he is.
Think how embarrassing it is for the disruptor! haha! Imagine the teasing.
Works for me!
I didn’t know that. Thanks!!
It’s not that Trump is making people angry. His are simply fed up and don’t like communist thugs crashing their rallies.
Honestly I was hoping someone could define the difference, if any, between being attacked while your back is turned and being punched while screaming obscenities and gesturing with your middle finger....
Is there a difference? If so, is there a different word we should use?
