“President Donald Trump mocked a protester as they were being physically attacked by his rallygoers,” the New Republic reports.
“A video of the incident showed a bald man in a T-shirt punching a woman in the face, pulling her hair, and hitting her repeatedly.”
Said Trump: “He’s a paid protester, they’re all paid. They get paid by the lefties in order to destroy our country. They’re scum. But he’s going back home to mom. He’s going back home to mom.”
“It’s not clear whether he was referring to the protester as ‘he’ to be derisive or because he genuinely could not see.”
