O'Malley: Something is wrong w/ today's GOP when a BLM protester is beaten up at a rally

Martin O'Malley ?@MartinOMalley
Something is wrong w/ today's GOP when a #BLM protester is beaten up at a rally & front-runner @realDonaldTrump says maybe he deserved it.



Trump on protester: 'Maybe he should have been roughed up'

Birmingham, Alabama (CNN)Donald Trump suggested Sunday the half-dozen white attendees at his campaign rally on Saturday may have reacted appropriately when they shoved, tackled, punched and kicked a black protester who disrupted his speech.

"Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing," Trump said Sunday morning on Fox News, less than 24 hours after his campaign said it "does not condone" the physical altercation.

As Southall took blows on Saturday, Trump tried to press on with his stump speech, but paused to remark at the apparent disruption and said, "Get 'em the hell out of here."

Also, Trump's such a loose cannon that I have to wonder if he's really actively involved in running his company or little more than a figurehead.
