Hey, if the candidate approves, then why not?
We’ve all heard Donald Trump and the not-so-subtle messages he give to his rally members, telling them things like, back in the day protesters would be carried out in stretchers, or his defense of a rally member who sucker-punched another man when that man wasn’t looking. Trump announced that he would ask his campaign to look into providing the puncher with financial help.
So hearing or seeing this video of another Trump supporter attacking someone, is now the norm.
The incident happened outside a Trump rally in Wisconsin when a 15-year-old Trump protester was sprayed.
A video from the tense scene shows the girl, wearing glasses, appear to swing out at someone off camera before a hand reaches into the frame and deploys the noxious spray. The girl then stumbles away, rubbing at her face.
