If you beat up a protester at Trump’s rally, he’ll cover your legal fees.After receiving a notice from his security that someone might be planning to throw tomatoes at him (again), Trump told his supporters to “knock the crap out of them … I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees.” The crowd vociferously cheered him on.

This isn’t the first time Trump has condoned violence—last year he told Fox News that a Black Lives Matter activist who got attacked at his rally “should have been roughed up.” Say what you will about George W. Bush, but when confronted with a projectile all he did was duck.

I'm not doubting your quote, I'm just stunned anyone could say it with a straight face.

Trump staff have to exist in a universe of alternative facts lest their heads explode due to the hypocrisy.
