An anti-Trump protester spat on a Trump supporter on Thursday afternoon outside of President Donald Trump’s rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“Dave Carlson, a salesman in Minnesota, was sharing why he donates to President Trump’s campaign when a protestor openly spat in his face and kept walking by,” Vice News’ Elizabeth Landers reported.
The most shocking part about the incident was not the alleged assault on Carlson, but the calm way in which Carlson responded to it.
Carlson did not lose his temper, yell, or take any action against the perpetrator; rather, he showed tremendous restraint and brushed off the alleged assault.
Landers later recounted the incident on Twitter, writing: “I interview a lot of the president’s supporters at rallies & have never seen this before. (My reaction gives that away quickly.)”

Better man than me
I don’t think I could restrain my upper cut.
One should assume the leftist spitter is diseased and treat the spitting as a imminent terrorist threat to life attack.
Bout time we go Roman on these scum. Even at my advanced age I would have made somone very sorry they knew how to spit.
This was painful to watch and definitely shows what we’re up against.
I don’t mind saying that I have largely come to hate millennials, who strike me as the worst generation this country has ever produced.
Of course, it’s partly the fault of the parents, but these are young adults who presumably have reached the age of reason and are responsible for their own conduct.
I suspect a lot of parents were either seduced, misinformed, or overwhelmed into a lot of bad decisions regarding their offspring.
These are just Millennial equivalent of hippie scum. Millennials are polarized between Antifa and people who hate them. I know some who casually joke about forming death squads to take out Antifa.
The political center is going to collapse in the next 10-20 years at most.
Spit on me and you get to look down the bore of my model 19.The older I get the more intolerant of people’s BS I become.
I'm not talking about a choke hold which requires wrestling, I'm talking about going for the larynx and squeezing as tight as you can. I've done it and brought a guy 4 inches taller and much heavier than me to a standstill. It's a real shocker for someone who experiences it.
It's probably in the Krav Maga playbook. It's about going for the most vulnerable areas of the body. At my age, I'm still confident if I don't get knocked out or sent to ground, I can defend my Wife and myself with that move when one on one.
Same here
“I know some who casually joke about forming death squads to take out Antifa.”
Boy did you hit a nerve with that post, FRiend. I myself, at the mature age of 62, have advocated on these threads that the time for vigilante justice against Antifa may be fast approaching.
The authorities in these wretched sanctuary cities seem to be content to let them riot as much as their little commie hearts desire.
Bad as Minneapolis has become, I was heartened to see the police officers who showed up at the Trump rally, red t-shirts and all.
The real problem is the FBI would classify it as “White Nationalist” terrorism and would use the Patriot Act to crush everything. They’ve already made several statements more or less saying such.
The funny thing is all the liberal objections to the Patriot Act and anti-terrorism surveillance has evaporated now that the target is the American Right and not Muslims.
It is amazing how corporatists financed by wall street can get the peasants to do their dirty work for them
This guy handled it very well. When they find the spitter battered to a pulp laying in a ditch no one will suspect the guy who acted like it was nothing.
Interesting choice of words used by the journalist: “the alleged assault on Carlson,”
Had Carlson slapped the guys face in retaliation, it would be: “Carlson’s vicious attack on an innocent bystander”.
If we now let this crap ride, the Antifa punks pushing us around, and we lose this country we can blame ourselves. We can look back and say yep we let this happen.
This is what Trump supporters have to do to get media praise. Let the leftists spit in your face and do NOTHING. Be a punching bag, let them steal your stuff. Yeah, that’s the ticket. We deserve it anyway. How dare we object or protect ourselves. What a bunch of BullCARP.
“When they find the spitter battered to a pulp laying in a ditch no one will suspect the guy who acted like it was nothing”
I wonder if the spitter has been doxxed yet.
A larynx grab and a thumb in the eye a well placed knee works well for one on one... but the way these cowards operate it will be a mob down then.... need a belt fed.
I don’t think he knew who it was, but I only watched it once.
