Donald Trump, once again, has incited his supporters into racial violence. Appearing at a rally in Virginia, Trump attempted to berate Bernie Sanders and then engaged in a bit of race-baiting – which led to his supporters later spitting on Latino protesters at the event.
“I watched last night as Hillary and Bernie Sanders, they just couldn’t give away things fast enough,” said Trump. “And they’re giving them to illegal immigrants. They want heath care for illegal immigrants. They want drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. They want, listen to this, social security for illegal immigrants.”
According to those in attendance, that’s when things turned rough. Trump supporters turned on those protesting the candidate’s racist sentiments.
