And there we have it. In what the Post calls a “tense” rally in North Carolina this afternoon, where Trump focused on “deplorables” and was repeatedly interrupted by protesters, a supporter shoved and punched two male and one female protesters before the protesters were led out of the arena. Trump condemned what he called Clinton’s “hate-filled campaign” with “no policy, no solutions and no new ideas.”

The attacker was apparently allowed to stay. The return of Trump rally violence was first flagged as it happened by NBC’s Ali Vitali.
