Appearing on Fox & Friends Sunday morning, Donald Trump discussed the Saturday incident in which a Black Lives Matter protester was violently kicked out of one of his rallies. Asked whether the protester was "roughed up" by Trump supporters, the Republican candidate replied, "I don't know. Rough up? Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing." The individual in question was forcibly removed from a rally in Birmingham, Alabama for heckling the candidate during a speech.
