Related: About this forumBernie Sanders Fights Allegations That His Supporters Disrupted Donald Trump’s Rally
Bernie Sanders is fighting back against allegations that his supporters were responsible for a violent disruption at Donald Trumps rally in Chicago on Friday, saying instead that Trumps violent rhetoric is to blame.
On Friday loud crowds interrupted Trumps political rally, some of them violently clashing with police and ultimately forcing Trump to cancel the event before he could even arrive. A number of the demonstrators were vocally supporting Bernie Sanders, leading Trump to accuse the Vermont Senator of helping to incite the crowds.
Some represented Bernie, our communist friend, Trump said at a rally in Dayton on Saturday (via CNN).
Later, at a rally in Cleveland, Trump more directly blamed Bernie Sanders.

His supporters DID disrupt tRump's rally, but they weren't the violent ones. Those were tRump's supporters.

He said the disrupters did a good thing. That you stand up to bullies.

There were plenty of other protesters there who weren't Bernie supporters. And what about all of the others who were beaten at his previous events, was that Bernie's fault too?
