White Nationalist files counter suit against Donald Trump saying the candidate directed him to assault protesters.

Courtesy of Politico: 

A white nationalist leader accused of assaulting a young African-American woman at a Donald Trump campaign rally filed a countersuit on Monday claiming the president directed him and other supporters to remove protesters. 

Matthew Heimbach claims in his federal court filing that he “acted pursuant to the directives and requests of Donald J. Trump and Donald J. Trump for President” and that, if he’s found liable for damages, “any liability must be shifted to one or both of them.

”The legal fight stems from a March 2016 rally in Louisville, Kentucky, at which protesters were allegedly roughed up and ejected by Trump supporters after the then-candidate barked from the stage “get ’em out of here!”

I think it is perfectly reasonable to blame Trump for the violence at his rallies.

After all they blamed Hitler for the gas chambers didn't they?

By the way how delicious is it to see Trump getting sued by a white supremacist because he convinced the man to hurt black people?

(Here's some video of the event in question.)

The daughter of Ronald Reagan speaks out about Donald Trump's careless language.

Courtesy of ABC News: 

In a Facebook post directed at the Republican presidential candidate, President Ronald Reagan's daughter blasted Donald's Trump's "glib and horrifying comment" on the Second Amendment. 

"I am the daughter of a man who was shot by someone who got his inspiration from a movie," the post by Patti Davis begins, referring to the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan by John Hinckley Jr.

Remember this is the daughter of Saint Ronnie.

And even though she is seen by many as a liberal I am sure that her words hit home for a lot of the older more establishment Republicans still struggling with the decision of whether to support Donald Trump or not in the general.

And if that were not enough to sway them, there is also this piece in the Dallas Observer comparing the mood of the country to the one that existed in Texas when JFK was shot.

Donald Trump thinks he can incite violence and then deflect criticism by saying that he was just kidding or being sarcastic, but once a bullet fires from a gun to take a life there are is simply no taking that back.

Rachel Maddow brilliantly explains that the anger and violence at yesterday's Trump rally was purposefully incited by Donald Trump himself.

The rally was NOT shut down due to recommendations by the Chicago police.

It was shut down because Frankenstein was not prepared to face the monster of his own creation.

This morning both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were making political points by blaming this on Trump and reminding people that this ONLY happens at Trump rallies.

So the question to ask is "Has Donald Trump FINALLY gone too far? Or will this too have no real impact on his campaign?"

Actually it already is having some impact on his campaign:  

Toward the end of Donald Trump’s speech at the Dayton airport a protester attempted to rush the stage and security at the event was quick to act. (Here's video of the incident. Look how frightened Trump is.)

Witnesses told our reporters that the person who tried to rush the stage was a man and that he never was able to make it to the stage. 

The man was reportedly placed in plastic-style handcuffs and escorted out of the hangar, witnesses said. 

Fortunately the suspect appears to be Caucasian which will give his racist supporters a little less to get worked up about.

Welcome to the 2016 presidential election cycle folks.
