Trump Blames Sanders Supporters For Chicago Unrest; Protester Tries To Rush Stage

By Jeremy Diamond and Eugene Scott, CNN Updated 6:42 PM ET, Sat March 12,

(CNN)Donald Trump on Saturday denounced the protests that led him to cancel a scheduled rally the previous night in Chicago, calling them "a planned attack" that was "professionally done" and blaming Bernie Sanders supporters for inciting violence.

Sanders, however, pushed back against Trump, calling on him to denounce violence at his rallies and labeling him a "pathological liar."

The accusations come on a day when Trump refused to apologize for his rhetoric at his rallies, one of which was interrupted when a man tried to rush the stage. Secret Service officers protected the GOP front-runner, who was unharmed.

Trump focused on Sanders in his comments about the protesters Friday night.

"Some represented Bernie, our communist friend," Trump said in Dayton, Ohio, his first campaign appearance since the Chicago event was postponed.

Oh puh-leez!

C'mon Bernout, they were carrying your signs. They had the look, smell and attitude of occupackers and other assorted communists. They sure as hell weren't TEAparty.

Your slander knows no bounds. No wonder Trump thinks of you as one of the “least educated” he loves and someone who like a robot will lie down and take hail of bullets from Trump in the middle of Fifth Avenue. Kim Jung-un would like to recruit you.

The left is in their last ditch attempt to retain control. They see it slipping away to Trump and they are simply not going to stand by and let the will of the voters win the day.

No, the left only supports democracy when the public votes for them. If they don’t then they resort to violence to win the day.

I sure hope there has been contact between the Trump people and the Constitutional militias. It’s obvious that Trump needs more protection and somebody will need to maintain order next time he visits a big city.

Bill Ayers, the murderer domestic terrorist, present at Chicago. The riot at the Trump event was coordinated by black lives matter, laraza, and Moveon.org. Bernie, who had numerous campaign signs wa ing at the melee, explained his supporters were just ‘’reacting’’ to Trump. And this is all Trump’s fault.
Let’s not forget Convicted Felon, George Soros, involvement too.

but he’s not.

that tells us all we need to know about who’s in charge of the country.

Trump’s a marked man for the next seven months.

The SS is great but they’re not his blood.

Only one person in the world that I trust with my life, that couldn’t be bought to hurt me. That’s my brother.

I’m Italian, and blood’s big, but that’s universal.

We have to pray for his protection.

Sanders is done, the kooks and violent lunatics have taken over his cult and he is its prisoner. Now he won’t even win the Chicago vote much less the rest of the downstate Ds or the Fuzzy Nice Suburban chicky vote. Now the Superdelagates have a reason to say “No Dice Nuttboy.”

Why won’t they say the guy who rushed the stage was a Bernie supporter and BLM activist?

Trump should call for this. Every time a protester starts something.

Hey Sanders, you old Communist!

Control your murdering thugs, or we will.
