Donald Trump Says His Supporters Should 'Hit Back' At Protesters More Often

"And that's what we need a little bit more of."

Donald Trump isn't going to put a stop to his violent supporters. In fact, he wants to see more.

In a press conference Friday morning in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump defended attendees at his events who go after anyone who seems different. He claimed that the protesters are the ones who are violent, and they deserve to be taken out.

"It was a guy who was swinging -- was very loud -- and then started swinging at the audience. And you know what? It swung back," Trump said.

"And I thought it was very, very appropriate," he added. "He was swinging. He was hitting people. And the audience hit back. And that's what we need a little bit more of. Now, I'm not talking about just a protestor. This was a guy who should not have been allowed to do what he did. And frankly, if you want to know the truth, the police were very, very restrained."

It's not exactly clear which violent incident Trump was referring to. (There have been so many.) But video surfaced Thursday of a Trump supporter sucker-punching an African-American man, Rakeem Jones, who was being escorted out of a rally by police. The cops then piled upon Jones.

Stop and arrest all protesters at any costs.

It is only our views that count. This is Donald Trump's actual view and belief.

One Republican screamed out loud, "Lefties go home!"
