During this part of the interview, Trump specifically also mentioned recent incidents at
Berkeley and
Portland State University, where respectively a protester punched a Trump supporter and where a protester continuously rang a bell in the face of a conservative who attempted to speak.
After noting that the left plays it “tougher” than the right, Trump said it is “disgraceful” and “terrible.”
It’s so terrible what’s happening. You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you, I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. But they’re peaceful people, and antifa and all — they’d better hope they stay that way But the left plays it cuter and tougher.
“When I see that – what’s going on on college campuses, when I see that young man get punched in the face, when I see that other one with cowbells – you know what I’m – I thought that was disgraceful,” Trump said. “I can’t believe that any one would have let him do that. If I was speaking, I tell you, there’s no way I would have been allowed to just stand there like that and keep trying to make a speech [while] the guy’s ringing a bell right in your face. You can’t even – that was a terrible – Did you see that picture? Did you see? You know what I’m talking about? I thought that was really terrible.”
This is Hayden Williams getting punched in the face. This is what Trump was referring to:
I'm pretty sure you saw a band wagon rolling down the road and decide to jump on. I wasn't confused. I didn't misspeak. You didn't read the article that was spun into that hit job that was posted in the OP. Silly-little me thought you might have read the article that is definitely speaking about violent factions.
Now, lets look at this spin.... Huff post:
He didn’t define what that “certain point” might be in the Breitbart interview published Tuesday. But the implication was that his supporters would stand for a limited amount of political decisions that they opposed until the “tough people” made things “very, very bad.” Violence by a military opposed to political decisions would be a coup.
See how these people work, and how maddening it is?
Onto the other topic, your back peddling is almost as good as your breaststroke. You know what you were implying with that snarky comment, and so do I.
