Trump says is OK for black protestor to get "roughed up" at his rally - WTF?

This is disgusting. 

A black protester at a Trump political rally was chucked out at the request of Trump from the podium. Yes, unbelievable as it is, Trump decided to single out one person publicly in a crowd of thousands of his supporters, saying "get him outa here". Already at that moment is the element of mob rule.

Mobile phone footage from a member of the crowd records what followed whilst the security attempted to remove the black protester (advocating the "Black Lives Matter" campaign of late). The man is attacked by white members of the crowd. Particularly note the man in the blue shirt during the phone footage with his fists up and attacking the black guy on the ground.

Trump said the next day on FOX "news" that "maybe he did deserve to get roughed up".

What the fuckin hell? That's incitement to violence in anyone's language. Fascism and complete intolerance. 

This from Think Progress, who talked to the black guy who was clobbered at the event:

Southall said he felt unwelcome as soon as he arrived at the event, when Trump supporters physically recoiled from him and his friends. “There was like a six feet space on either side of us,” he said. “The message was: this was not our town. This was not our place.” 

The three tried to get close to the stage so they could have a chance to ask Trump a question. Before the event started, Southall’s friend began livestreaming himself, saying to his camera, “We want to show [Trump] he’s not welcome here.” Upon hearing that, a nearby man knocked the phone out of his hand, prompting Southall to come to his friend’s defense. The three started chanting, “Black lives matter.” 

What happened next was captured on video by a CNN reporter: a crowd of Trump supporters converging on Southall, punching, kicking, and choking him while chanting, “All lives matter.” 

“It was just a sea of white faces,” he told ThinkProgress. “A lady kicked me in the stomach. A man kicked me in the chest. They called me n*****, monkey, and they shouted ‘all lives matter’ while they were kicking and punching me. So for all the people who are still confused at this point, they proved what ‘all lives matter’ meant. It means, ‘Shut up, n*****.'” 

On Sunday, the morning after the rally, Trump told the hosts of Fox & Friends that Southall deserved what he got. 

“Maybe he should have been roughed up,” he said. “It was disgusting what he was doing…This was a very obnoxious guy, a troublemaker, looking to make trouble.” Think Progress
