The 78-year-old psycho who sucker-punched a black protester being led out of a Donald Trump rally says, “Next time we see him, we might have to to kill him!” John McGraw, a cowboy hat-wearing Trump supporter, told Inside Edition minutes after throwing the punch Wednesday in Fayetteville, N.C., that he has no regrets for throwing the brutal blow. “We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization,” he said. John McGraw, 78, of Linden, N.C., said there's more than just a punch in store for protesters at Trump rallies. The caught on camera smack came as uniformed personnel led 26-year-old Rakeem Jones from the event full of loyalists to the blowhard billionaire. Video shows McGraw sit back down after hitting Jones as his seatmates congratulate him on the dirty blow. McGraw was convinced the peaceful protester, who appeared to gesture to the crowd but did not use physical violence, deserved to be decked. “You bet I liked it,” he told Inside Edition of the rally. “Knocking the hell out of the big mouth.” Police later arrested the Linden man and charged him with assault and battery and disorderly conduct. The shocking incident was caught on camera. Violence at rallies for Trump, the leading GOP candidate for president, is nothing new. Police in Louisville, Ky., are investigating three reports of assaults there during a March 1 gathering for Trump. And Trump himself has frequently urged his staff to remove protesters, once telling the frothing crowd that someone speaking out would "leave on a stretcher" in the "old days." The shocking violence drew a sharp rebuke from New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray, who encouraged people to register to vote to combat Trump's surging campaign. "Although the punch seemed to come out of nowhere, violence and racism have been part of Trump’s campaign from the very beginning. Protesters often come under attack at Trump rallies," she said in a statement. "And the candidate himself seems eager to reprise his role as a WrestleMania combatant, saying of one protester, 'I’d like to punch him in the face.' Trump’s incendiary rhetoric is a timely reminder that we haven’t come as far as we might think since the days when Alabama Governor and staunch segregationist George Wallace said, 'If any demonstrator ever lays down in front of my car, it’ll be the last car he’ll ever lay down in front of.'"

Well,Trump did promise to pay the attorney fees for any of his supporters that punched out protesters,so why is anyone surprised with a senile 78 year old fool took him up on it? BTW,somebody needs to explain to these retards,including the chief retard with the orange hair,that this is America,not a police state,and in America citizens have the RIGHT to peacefully protest.
What?!?
What?!? Seriously. Remember him standing behind the podium at a rally and talking about how Trump protesters needed to be punched out? That clip was shown again tonight,and it includes him saying "I promise you I will take care of the attorney fees for anyone that does this. Don't worry about it." And people STILL think this guy is serious about running for president? He will drop out before the general election.
I'm guessing that statement is not legally binding.
I'm guessing that statement is not legally binding. NOTHING is legally binding if you have the right law firm on retainer. Still,it does highlight what a nutcase Trump really is. Can you imagine what will happen to his alleged campaign if one of his supporters kills a protester? Not to mention what will happen to the alleged Republican Party across the board this election,and maybe the next? Trump might just be the poison pill that finally kills the Republican Party. Don't forget,it ain't the Party People from either the DNC or the RNC that determines who gets elected,it's the "undecideds". .
