Trump supporter physically assaults protester at Trump rally in North Carolina

Daily Kos
September 12, 2016

Violence broke out at a Trump rally in North Carolina Monday.

The incident came as Trump lambasted Hillary Clinton for calling half of his supporters a
"basket of deplorables."
Trump had brought a group of supporters on stage, proclaiming them hard-working Americans, not "deplorables."


Time magazine is now reporting that:

The rally was interrupted several times by demonstrators and. at one moment, brief violence.
As several protesters were being escorted out by security, a man in the crowd grabbed a make protester around the neck and then punched him.
He then slapped at a woman being led out.
The Trump supporter was not ejected by security.
The celebrity businessman talked through the scuffle, but cracked after the disturbance,
"Is there anyplace more fun than a Trump rally?"


Deplorable? Apparently not, according to Trump.
As he stood on stage and watched the incident unfold, Trump said:
It's OK...the dishonest media will fail to report that.
