Have to agree with Trump on this one.

Birmingham, Alabama (CNN) – Donald Trump suggested Sunday the half-dozen white attendees at his campaign rally on Saturday may have reacted appropriately when they shoved, tackled, punched and kicked a black protester who disrupted his speech.

“Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing,” Trump said Sunday morning on Fox News, less than 24 hours after his campaign said it “does not condone” the physical altercation.

Trump was not asked by the Fox News hosts about the comments made by his campaign.

The protester, 31-year-old Black Lives Matter activist Mercutio Southall, said the attendees who attacked him also called him and two fellow protestors “monkeys” and the N-word. He told CNN he was “swarmed” by attendees at the Trump event after he and the others began chanting “Dump the Trump” and “Black Lives Matter” during the Republican front-runner’s speech to several thousand supporters.

The slurs cannot be heard on the video CNN recorded of the incident, and the network was unable to independently confirm them.
