On the recordJune 2, 2016
I condemn all violence in our political arena. I condemned it when Donald Trump wasn't citing it, and congratulating people who were engaging in it. I condemn it, by those who are taking violent protests to physical assault against Donald Trump. This has to end. He set a very bad example. He created an environment in which it seemed to be acceptable for someone running for president to be inciting violence, encouraging his supporters. Now we're seeing people against him respond in kind. It should all stop. It is not acceptable.
