Last week Trump praised a congressman who body slammed a reporter.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," — Trump in Feb. 2016 at one of his rallies.
"The audience hit back and that's what we need a little bit more of." mashable.com/2016/03/11/don…
"We're not allowed to punch back anymore. I love the old days, you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out in a stretcher, folks." - Las Vegas rally in 2016
"Part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right? ... there are no consequences to protesting anymore. There used to be consequences. There are none anymore." - Trump at a rally in St. Louis in 2016.
"I don't know if I would have done well, but I would have been out there fighting, folks. I don't know if I'd have done well, but I would've been — boom, boom, boom. I'll beat the crap out of you." - Trump at a rally in Kansas City in 2016
