President Obama's top spokesman on Friday condemned a recent string of violent incidents at Donald Trump rallies that have captured national attention.
"There is no excuse or justification for acts of violence against reporters who are covering a political event," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.
"The White House like many other people, including other Republicans, has been concerned about the invective and taunting that has been directed at journalists covering political events," he added.
Its totally inappropriate. Its not consistent with the standards of political discourse that should be observed by anybody who is seeking the highest elected office in the greatest country in the world.

Seems Obama is also rooting for Ted to defeat Trump.
And yet Black Lives Matters attacking police warranted no condemnation.
Noted.
Make No mistake this is a coordinated media demcrap attack on trump.
This from a man(I use the term loosely)who can’t call the mass murder of Middle Eastern Christians by Islamofascists what it is:
Genocide.
Josh Earnest is a servile eunuch.
Trump is STL and Chicago today. Maybe fun.
Where were they during OCCUPY ______ ?
Where were they during BLM : BLACK LIES MATTER ?
Where were they during FAST AND FURIOUS ?
Oh yeah , Obungler wasn't running then ?...
Violence indicates frustration at STUPIDITY, lack of LEADERSHIP , and lack of COMMON SCENCE !!
Do they condemn violence at Rubio events too?
What about Ferguson?
I have fantasies about meeting him in a cage match.
Then call off your ‘Black Lives Matter’ dogs. They are the ones instigating.
If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun, Obama said. Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. Ive seen Eagles fans.

Trump event; North Augusta, South Carolina 2/16/16.
The protester is carrying the message from the politicians, lobbyist, donors, influence peddlers, the well connected and those with motives of bad intent
“Time to round up all 80 year old men as they are dangerous and racist”
Is there any justification for people going to Trump rallies with the sole intent of disrupting them? I don’t recall that being allowed when Obama was campaigning.
The terrorist in chief does not like violence.
Obama read it in the newspaper of course.
All about violence and whitey...but won't live in Chicago. Wasn't the guy next door to Obama's house and the person Obama dealt with mob related?

As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech at George Washington University yesterday condemning governments that arrest protestors and do not allow free expression and lauding freedom of speech on the Internet 71-year-old military veteran Ray McGovern was grabbed from the audience in plain view of her by police and an unidentified official in plain clothes and hustled out of the building and, according to McGovern and his supporters, was brutalized and left bleeding in jail.
What McGovern did was simply remain standing silently in the audience and turned his back on her as Secretary Clinton began her speech.
That was it.
McGovern, a veteran Army officer who also worked as a C.I.A. analyst for 27 years, was wearing Veterans for Peace t-shirt.
Blind-sided by security officers who pounced upon him, McGovern remarked, as he was hauled out the door, So this is America?
According to Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, attorney with the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, For this peaceful expression of dissent, he ended up bruised, bloodied, arrested, and jailed. Secretary Clinton never paused, continuing her speech lecturing other countries about the need to allow freedom of expression and dissent, while Mr. McGovern was hauled out in front of her.
McGovern was later found to have his arm covered with bruises. The metal handcuffs were fastened so tightly that his wrists were cut and some blood flowed from the cuts.
After being held by local police, McGovern was told he was being charged with disorderly conduct.
A brother got popped. Bammy dont like that.
