Donald Trump Defends Use Of Violence Against Rally Protesters Again: Supporters Should ‘Swing Back’
By Kellan Howell - The Washington Times - Friday, March 11, 2016 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Friday defended his supporters’ use of violence against protesters at his campaign rallies, arguing they should respond if anti-Trump protesters start a fight.
Mr. Trump cited an incident at a Nevada rally last month where he said a protester lashed out violently at security guards.
“He was a guy who was swinging, very loud and he started swinging. And you know what? The audience swung back, and it was very appropriate,” Mr. Trumpsaid, the Hill reported.
“He was swinging, he was hitting people, and the audience hit back. That’s what we need a little bit more of,” Mr. Trump added. His comments come one day after a man was charged with assault after sucker punching a protester at a Trump rally in North Carolina on Wednesday. Earlier this month, video footage of several Trump supporters, including some alleged white supremacists, assaulting a Black Lives Matter protester at a Trump rally in Louisville, Kentucky, went viral.

He said it in his presser today with Carson. It’s context. He said if this protestors attack and become violent the crowd has a right to hit back. He’s 100% right. But of course the wuss press thinks that only the protestors can be violent and we have to respect their behavior.
But this can’t be. Trump is supposed to cower and beg the media gods for forgiveness!
Some people are born to deceive and some people are born to be deceived. Cruz is a first rate deceiver.
Isn’t BLM the one always talking about killing whitey?
The left freaks out cause we’re getting sick of this shit?
F THEM.
You mean like Trump going behind closed doors and telling the NY Times Editorial Board that he really doesn’t mean that deportation thing he speaks of to his devotees who attend his rallies.
Thanks.
Cruz Bot go home to the GOPe and Democratic party
Trump is the first guy I can remember who is standing up to these A Holes.
He’s got my support to the very end.
I could see trump getting in and using RICO to put those bastards down.
“Bernie Sanders talks of ‘revolution’ before 4,000 in Kissimmee”
A long bloody near-future awaits us all.
We will have become 1790’s France.
True. Meow.
Or a damaged larynx. Pretty much ends an illiterate’s career of rabblerousing.
Easier to rabble rouse with china-clippers than a voice that can’t be raised...
Cruz lost the Republican vote tonight
It seems that Donald T.Rump does not understand the rule of law. He seems to prefer the rule of the mob. Perhaps he should issue a brown shirt to anyone who takes the pledge to support him no matter what.
For such a smart guy, Cruz has zero common sense.
He blamed Trump live on fox. He then used the media attention to say to Republicans in Illinois that if they didn’t like what they were seeing in Chicago that he was an alternative.
Now you are just making stuff up... The behind closed door 'off the record' meeting has not been released.
You are jumping from born to be deceive to born to deceive.
Trump = Obama
Same tactics.
And many FReepers have been taken in by him, and will attack ANYONE who disagrees with them.
The supporters were being attacked, he basically said to hit the attacker back. Stop taking it.
