Trump’s comments come only one day after a 15-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed and sexually assaulted during protests outside a Donald Trump rally in Janesville, Wisconsin. The teenager was holding a sign reading, “Damn, Donald, back at it again with the white supremacy.” She was surrounded by Trump supporters, some chanting, “All lives matter.” She says she was groped by a man in the crowd. A video then shows her being pepper-sprayed by another person when she confronted her alleged attacker. This comes as Donald Trump faces increasing criticism that he permits violence at his rallies. Trump has said he would pay the legal fees of his supporters charged with attacking protesters.
