Trump On Violence Against Protestors: 'We Need A Little Bit More' Of That

ByKATHERINE KRUEGER PublishedMARCH 11, 2016, 10:30 AM EST
Republican presidential front runner defended his supporters' right to "hit back" at campaign event protesters in a Friday press conference where he received Ben Carson's endorsement.

Trump remarks came the day after John McGraw, 78, was criminally charged for allegedly sucker-punching a black protester at a Trump rally in North Carolina Wednesday evening.

Asked if he's "playing a character" when he says things like "I want to punch a protester in the face," Trump responded there have been "some violent people" protesting his rallies.

"These are people that punch. People that are violent people," Trump said. "The particular one where I said 'I'd like to bang him,' that was a very vicious – a guy who was swinging, very loud, and then started swinging at the audience."

For him to promote physical violence at a political meeting indicates a serious mental issue. Note that he has offered to pay the legal fees for the attackers.
