http://www.latintimes.com/immigration-activist-assaulted-rally-donald-trump-supporter-updated-338993Immigrant activists who crashed Donald Trump and Ted Cruzs #StopIranDeal rally on Wednesday in D.C. say that they were spit on and otherwise assaulted by crowdmembers before being forcibly removed by police. Video of the event shared by immigration advocates show protesters yelling hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go and opposing rally attendees yell go home. One immigration activist was apparently violently yanked by her ponytail, reducing the woman to tears.
A series of photos by a fellow activist Jassiel Perez of United We Dream seem to show an unidentified man going up behind Erica Fuentes, grabbing her by the hair, and yanking it violently. The man wears a T-Shirt that says Stop Iran Now. Latin Times was not able to verify the sequence of events leading up to the incident. United We Dream and other Dreamer groups have been known to carry out agressive and disruptive but non-violent protests.
The man in the Stop-Iran-Now T-shirt holds a sign whose message appears to be obscured by pictures of military decorations that were added later. The violent act is the latest uncouth outburst by attendants of Trumps events to be caught on camera....
Fuentes told the Laitn Times that she is a U.S.-born citizen with Salvadorian heiritage, and that she attended the protest to stand in solidarity with the immigrant community. Like other members of the protest group, she wore a shirt with names of immigrants.

would remind us his fans are passionate and he would not care.
The reason he would not care is he is a narcissist and a sociopath.
People are gonna die, eventually.
