Another rally for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has resulted in racial tension and white violence. CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond posted video to Twitter of a black protester being shoved, punched, kicked and tackled during a political rally for Trump in Birmingham, Alabama.
In the video, Trump can be heard continuing to speak in the background, saying, “Get him the hell out of here,†as the crowd screamed in cheers. According to Diamond the black protester though outnumbered, continuously shouted “Black lives matter,†until one Trump supporter responded, “All lives matter.†He was then tackled to the ground, punched and kicked by numerous white rally attendees. This is not the first time Trump supporters have been caught carrying out racially-charged violence at rallies for the controversial business tycoon. Last month, a Latino protester was pushed down and roughly dragged by supporters at a rally in Miami.
Watch the video, as posted by Diamond, here:
