Trump admits he may pay legal fees for 78-year-old supporter who sucker-punched black protester
The Daily Mail ^ | 13 March 2016 | NIKKI SCHWAB

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.

You are not conservatives. You are traitors, rabble-rousers with no commitment to the rule of law.

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.

There are two sides to every story. Let's wait and see.

And Donald hasn't decided anything at this point.

He just wants to make sure they don't crucify this 78 year old.

Good for Trump.

Finally we have a real man running for the office of President.

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.

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.

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?
