A male protestor was kicked and shoved around in a violent removal from a campaign rally Saturday in Alabama for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The protestor, who was black, according to CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond, was removed as Trump yelled from the stage, “Get him the hell out of here.”

It’s not the first time a protestor has been violently removed from a Trump rally. A man who was saying “pro-immigration messages” was dragged out of a campaign event by another attendee as the crowd chanted, “USA.”

Here’s video of the incident from Diamond:

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Diamond that the campaign “does not condone this behavior.”

    Clearly talking about the protester, not the Clownshirts*

  2. And this is another way you know that both the RNC and the Jeb! campaign are being run by operatives who are old, slow, greedy, and stupid. This footage could be precisely the damning visual that takes down the Trump campaign–if they were quicker, smarter, and more aggressive. But that would require a full-throated repudiation of the racist hatred of which Trump is merely the most visible exponent. And RNC/Jeb!/other campaigns have neither the strategic brains, guts, nor the basic human decency to do so.

  3. The campaign may not condone this behavior, but Trump himself obviously does.

  4. Blowback Karma has a way of biting you real hard in the ass and the bite marks NEVER go away.
