A few minutes later, he said that he meant that those who believed in the 2nd Amendment would be voting as a block and would vote for him. He claims that is what he meant. It isn't a clear cut call to assassinate anyone unless one wants to believe that narrative and refuses to believe anything else.
Also, it wasn't a member of the media that was sucker punched. It was a protester. How did the guy know that he was a protester? Because the guy was being, in his words, a "loudmouth". In other words he was disrupting the rally. Trump said, when asked about it, that his people were looking into paying his legal fees. Not a good idea but if I went to Democrat rally wearing a MAGA hat, I'd be attacked.
As a matter of fact, there are incidents of people attacking those in MAGA hats almost every week, not the other way around. Chris Cuomo of CNN has even said that Antifa is fighting the good fight. Anyone that thinks that Antifa doesn't use violent tactics isn't paying attention. That's a clear cut call to violence from a journalist. Also, look at the violent rhetoric directed at the Covington kids, basically for wearing MAGA hats. Lots more violence for the opposition to Trump than the other way around. There was even a well known entertainer that wanted to blow up the White House and another one holding up an effigy Trump's severed head.
Those who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.

The vast majority are from the extreme right. Almost all those who lean conservative don't belong with the White Supremacists or Nazis. They're a very law and order crowd. These extreme right winger are more apt to commit the more violent crimes because they generally support gun ownership more than the left. Therefore the more extreme violence comes from the right. Another thing the left does is that anything that appears to be a little off is called violence. "It's ok to be white" signs are hate crimes. A 12 year old kid draws a swastika, on a school yard with chalk, is also deemed a hate crime. The extreme left sees this as violence, which is ridiculous, especially in the case of the sign. Now, even the OK gesture is a hate crime.....more violence.
Yet it's the left, that commit physical attacks that aren't as deadly. Punching those in MAGA hats. Using pepper and bear spray, disrupting traffic and banging on cars, setting fires, stealing property, blocking entry to right wing speaking events and so on.
It's pointless, however, to turn it into a contest. No matter what extremist is doing the violence, right or left, it should be called out. NO exceptions. We both should be calling out that type of political violence and stop turning it into a game of "who's the worst". Most people are left leaning or right leaning and aren't into the violence. It's the extremists that are the problem and they live on both sides of the political spectrum. Even you believe that when you said "most" violence comes from the right. That implies it comes from the left as well.
