President Obama said Friday night that Democrats should stop assaulting Donald Trump supporters at political rallies, even as the president told wealthy donors that Mr. Trump is exploiting voters’ resentment of immigrants and gays.
The president said opponents of Mr. Trump shouldn’t resort to violence, as occurred at a rally in San Jose this week, where a mob of anti-Trump demonstrators terrorized supporters, throwing punches, hurling eggs and intimidating them.
“We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff and Trump supporters,” Mr. Obama said at a fundraiser near Biscayne Bay, Florida. “That’s not what our democracy is about. That’s not what you do. There’s no room for violence. There’s no place for shouting. There’s no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side — even if you vehemently disagree.”
The president said Democrats must “remind ourselves of who we are and what is best about American democracy, and not slip into some of the bad habits that currently manifest themselves in the other party.”

Left overreaching again, and it’s making them look bad.
Strongest evidence yet that the protestors are driving voters to Trump.
Taqiyya.
He’s doing the right thing.
Bump!
He knows it is backfiring
Soros and Jarrett saw the polls and programmed The Bat-Eared Bolshevik’s teleprompter to say stuff.
And the “stuff” it’s saying is all bull****.
“He’s doing the right thing.”
What? Blaming the Republicans?
That Obama was compelled to do this shows that
the lefties know the La Raza mob attacks hurt them badly.
Exactly.
Yeah, Obama's not dumb, and he knows how to manipulate the public. He sees what's happening, what the coverage looks like, and he knows what that can mean. The first rule of insurgency is to be more popular than The Man. The rioting Mexicans are not accomplishing that mission which will only help Trump.
They bring a knife you bring a gun.
Obama knows full damn well that these incidents are only going to escalate and he fully supports any and all violence against Trump.
That’s who Obama IS.
Odumbo is a moron, but he has developed some political awareness during his hijacking of the presidency.
The protests are not going to stop. But if they look like they will be too peaceful an agent provocateur could burn a Mexican flag and set them off.
He said, basically, they should quit acting like conservatives. He is a liar.
No he is not sincere.
Yes, he will use every backstabbing routine on his opponents, when no one can see it, but never when it is in plain sight.
He knows what happened in San Jose hurt the ComDems chances. So he plays like he really does not want his minions to pull this crap.
exactly, he just washed his hands of the whole affair
