More Violence At Trump Tucson Rally: Supporter Sucker-Punches, Kicks Exiting Protester (Video)

Trump Campaign Manager Caught Grabbing Protester Earlier

A Donald Trump supporter was caught on camera sucker-punching a protester who was being escorted out by law enforcement. The supporter was immediately taken into custody. The incident occurred at the same Tucson, Arizona rally during which Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was filmed appearing to grab another non-violent protester.

The video of the punching and kicking was posted to twitter by NBC News producer and off-air reporter Frank Thorp V. It shows another Trump protester also being escorted out of the Tucson Convention Center rally, then the attack takes place initially off-camera. 

“10 minutes into Trump’s speech, two protesters, one wearing a Ku Klux Klan mask, were escorted out, and Trump changed his tone,” the Huffington Post reports.

“They’re troublemakers, they’re no good, and we have to be careful,” Trump said. “We’ve gotta take our country back, folks. We gotta take our country back, very simple.”

“That is a disgusting guy, really disgusting,” Trump also said. “Get him out of here, get him out.” 

Trump also called the protesters “a disgrace,” saying, “Y’know, they’re taking away our First Amendment rights,” the Tucson Sentinel reports.

Watch:

Little Green Footballs posted this Arizona Daily Star video of the man who was attacked:

The Trump campaign has not addressed this assault, but issued a statement denying its campaign manager assaulted a protester.

Earlier this month a Trump supporter cold-cocked a protestor being escorted out by police at a Trump rally. “Next time, we might have to kill him,” the assailant later told reporters. “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”
