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.

On the other hand...violence against diplomatic missions in Libya or against babies in the womb to the tune of 55 million of them since Roe V Wade is totally acceptable.
Obama is a total failure and disgrace to the office of POTUS...

This is perfect. Keep talking scumbags!
This is stronger than any language he’s ever used regarding Islam.
Wow, coming from these Commie Rat Bastards that is priceless.
Hey Barky, maybe you need to conjure up another Race war, you communist Agitator!
Shoe (of one of your many sons) is on the other foot eh zer0.
No “knock-out game” for whitey. It’s a black thang.
Yeah because that guy yelling at protesters is just so evil, worthy of a White House statement.
Get back to me when Hillary takes responsibility for the dead at Benghazi.
Which require that only approved voices be heard.
Haven’t heard if Hillary is still employing “courtesy squads.”
I had a birds eye view of the 78 year old man punching the yutes. (Fayetteville NC rally) They were acting up badly and deserved the punch in the face. The man was arrested for assault. He still has it LOL
Right, one incident is a secret service agent and a scruffy looking photog who crossed a security line.
The latest seems to be a SS agent grabbing a reporter’s arm, big deal.
Trump is not responsible for a 78 year old idiot out of 30,000 who punched somebody.
Trump has a price on his head to be murdered by El Chapo. Any White House statements on that?
Memo to White House: There ARE NO STANDARDS of “political discourse” you made that up.
But then you live in a fantasy world.
I wasn’t aware the 78 year old was seeking the highest position in the land.
And did you see the two nasty guys on tv this morning? Didn’t even bother to bathe for their big tv debut.
Acts of violence, which is then dumbed down to bad mouthing. What a wimp Prez.
I wonder if the same White House as strongly condemned violence at Black Lies Matter rallies. Or condemned the disruptive actions of the protestors, who are nothing more than paid operatives planted to shout down ideas they don’t like.
0dunga wrote the book on ‘selective outrage’.
Didn’t condemn the violence against the Oregon ranchers, did he?
