Violence Erupts At Trump Rally As Man Punches, Chokes Protesters<\/b><\/p>\n

\"trump<\/p>\n

At a rally<\/a> on Monday in Asheville, North Carolina<\/a>, while Donald Trump<\/a> was in the middle of trying to convince everyone that his supporters are not “deplorables<\/a>,” as Hillary Clinton<\/a> recently characterized many of them as being, a man<\/a> choked, punched and slapped protesters.<\/p>\n

A group of eight demonstrators began shouting from the stands, exchanging words with Trump supporters. The man<\/a>, who has not been identified, escalated the situation and became violent. Video shows him holding onto one of the male<\/a> protesters<\/a> by the neck and shirt, choking him and throwing a punch. A Trump campaign staffer gets between the men<\/a> and begins escorting the protesters out. The Trump supporter then takes a slap at one of the female<\/a> protesters.<\/p>\n

Police officers, stationed throughout the arena, did not become involved. The protesters were removed from the rally but the unidentified Trump supporter was allowed to stay, reports CNN<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moments earlier, Trump brought out a group of supporters, declaring them “hardworking Americans,” not “deplorables.”<\/p>\n

After the demonstrators were removed a woman<\/a> in a hijab tried to sit down and the man<\/a> told her, “Get out!” He raised his arms over his head, fists clenched, in a victorious stance.<\/p>\n

There have been multiple instances of violence<\/a> at Trump rallies in the past, and the candidate once claimed he would like to punch a demonstrator in the face. A supporter was charged with assault in March after he punched a protester as he was being escorted out of the building. Trump suggested he might pay for the man<\/a>’s legal fees.<\/p>\n
