A Donald Trump supporter who allegedly assaulted young woman during a campaign rally last year is claiming the president is to blame in his response to a lawsuit against him.
Alvin Bamberger, 75, who is accused of shoving protester Kashiya Nwanguma at a Louisville, Kentucky, rally on March 1, 2016, alleges in a cross claim filed Friday that he would not have touched the woman had then-candidate Trump not urged his supporters to remove protesters from the venue.

"Bamberger had no prior intention to act as he did," reads the response to the suit filed in U.S. District Court for Western Kentucky. "Bamberger would not have acted as he did without Trump and/or the Trump Campaign's specific urging and inspiration."

Three protesters at the event — Nwanguma, Molly Shah and Henry Brousseau — alleged in the original suit against Trump, Bamberger and another man that audience members pushed and shoved them after being incited by Trump.

Wasn't Trump promising to pay the legal bills if any of his supporters were sued for sucker punching protesters?

1. "Wasn't Trump promising to pay the legal bills if any of his supporters were sued"? Yup.

4. :D Did he really say that? What a frigging JOKE! And they believed the freak.

17. Yeah...ANOTHER campaign LIE........n/t

19. 75 years old and shoving a woman down an isle..........

Wonder what that idiot thought when he got home away from all the other jackboots who incite this kind of behavior. Jesus....75 years old and pulling this kind of shit.

21. He also said he would pay his creditors, contractors and employees.

And he had signed contracts with those people.

Suckers.

2. Repeated comments

I think most of us have seen that video (African-American woman removed by force) at least several times; we saw and heard #45 encourage physical interaction with that woman, and others in other campaign venues. So far, he has slipped out like a greased pig on such evidence, by saying something equivalent to "That's not what I meant." He's trying to that again in this instance.

23. welcome to DU

3. I definitely remember him promisng to pay legal fees, but I thought it was directed to one indivdual

not everyone. I wonder though if under the law, someone can be blamed for others actions. I realize there is a charge of "inciting to riot" but does that apply in this case? I WISH the Con could be charged and forced to pay their legal fees & found guilty of a crime himself, but it sounds to me like these cases will end with a fine and court costs of the individual and the Con will be judged not guilty of anything.

6. After hearing he would pay for one person

It could easily be argued everyone else thought he would pay theirs in the same situation. Just the fact that he said he would pay their court costs shows collusion to a crime... trump is getting ready to find out poor white people have no loyalty in court haha

5. Funny

These people aren't too good with the "personal responsibility" thing are they?

[Hortensis]

15. I'm just overwhelmed by his commitment to his beliefs.

Not. Authoritarian followers swing whichever direction their leaders' hot air wafts them. This poor fellow's just showing his own stuff when he finds himself abandoned, outside alone, his gift of zealous group loyalty betrayed.

[not fooled]

7. "The con made me do it"

Dude, you didn't have to take the con up on whatever you thought he was saying.



what a disgraceful, racist piece of sh*t. Emblematic of many dump supporters.

8. Old White Sexist claims Old White Sexist made him do it! Saaadddd! n/t

[tavernier]

9. Only following orders.

Hmmm

[IronLionZion]

10. Donald Trump - 'Knock the Crap Out Of Them, I Will Pay For The Legal Fees'

Dipshit also promised the courts would side with Trumpers

[Javaman]

11. brainwashed morons programmed to follow the voice of an authoritarian babyman jerk. nt

[Paladin]

12. Now, now. Haven't you heard? We Democrats are supposed to be winning them back!

I saw it right here at DU: we're supposed to be casting aside our stances on troublesome social issues---like support of same-sex marriage, for instance---in an effort to coax votes out of trump supporters.

Fortunately, I think this is a minority viewpoint. It sure as hell isn't my viewpoint.

[Javaman]

13. I've seen those posts...

to hell with them.

pound the right wing morons into dust.

[Paladin]

14. My sentiments exactly. (nt)

[AllaN01Bear]

16. here we go again with " the devil made me do it rutine".

no sir, you have only to blame yourself.

[Bengus81]

18. ROFLMAO!!! Jackboot Nazi Trump supporter NOW begging for mercy.....

Bawhahahhaaaaaa.....TRUMP made me do it!! Like my mom used to say,if someone told you to stick your head in a bucket of FIRE would you do it??

[Coventina]

20. "I was just following orders!" n/t

[lark]

22. Yep, lie #-------?

I can't count that high, his lies are non-stop for years and if anything just keep ramping up in number and the degree of hate.

Drumpf NEVER EVER does anything for anyone other than himself. He hasn't paid one dime for anything done at any of his rallies and now denies ever inciting them. Unfortunately for the orange assface, tape is out there and he is totally guilty as hell. Hope he gets convicted, but that totally depends on which jurisdiction the case is being heard. Judges that condone rape would certainly pardon him since they worship the male as alpha jerk mode and don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves.
