We’ve covered the frankly atrocious goings on at Trump rallies around the country before, and you can find a good run through of many of those HERE.
That being said this may be the worst of the lot, video coming out of North Carolina showing a black man being led out of a rally by a couple of uniformed men.
Then boom, sucker punch to the face, some pony-tailed halfwit deciding this was his time to shine. Best you start watching those multiple angles below so you can see what all the fuss is about:
If you watched through to the end you may be amazed by the hate and vitriol directed at those who don’t endorse the bloated orange racist, but if you’re daft enough to vote for Trump you’re sure as hell daft enough to reject any viewpoint other than your own as incorrect.
Here’s what’s happening with that punch thrower according to the Washington Post:
John McGraw, 78, was charged with assault and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sean Swain told The Post on Thursday.
McGraw was due in court in April, Swain said. It was not immediately clear if he already has an attorney…
“No one should be subjected to such a cowardly, unprovoked act as that committed by McGraw,” Sheriff Earl Butler said in a statement posted to Facebook. “Regardless of political affiliation, speech, race, national origin, color, gender, bad reputation, prior acts, or political demonstration, no other citizen has the right to assault another person or to act in such a way as this defendant did. I hope that the courts will handle this matter with the appropriate severity for McGraw’s severe and gross violation of this victim’s rights.”
Now for the really disturbing bit:
…a man identified as McGraw is asked if he liked the event.
“You bet I liked it,” he says.
When asked what he liked, he responds: “Knocking the hell out of that big mouth.”
“We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American,” McGraw added. “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him.”
To finish here’s a little recap of what Trump has had to say about the repeated incidents of violence against protesters at his rallies:
After a fight erupted between protesters and police last year in Birmingham, Trump said: “‘Maybe he should have been roughed up.” Of a protester in Nevada last month, Trump said: “I’d like to punch him in the face.” In Kentucky, he said: “Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do I’ll defend you in court. … Are Trump rallies the most fun? We’re having a good time.”
According to CBS New York, he referred to an incident at a New Hampshire rally where a protester started “swinging and punching.” Trump said some people in the audience “took him out.”
“It was really amazing to watch,” he said.
The show rolls on, and still the world waits for America to wake from its stupor and come to its sense.
