Donald Trump suggested he could shoot someone in a crowded area and still keep voters, speaking at a rally in Iowa Saturday.<\/p>\n
Multiple reporters, including ones from CNN and CBS, quickly picked up Trump’s remarks.<\/p>\n
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue, shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” Trump said.<\/p>\n
The Trump campaign could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
The specter of violence at a Trump rally is hardly new.<\/p>\n
At a November rally in Alabama, at least six white attendees punched and kicked a black protester, CNN reported.<\/p>\n
Less than a month later, at a rally in Las Vegas, multiple protesters were escorted from the audience as a cacophony of Trump supporters shouted out phrases including “He’s a Muslim,” “Sieg heil” and “Light the motherfucker on fire,” according to NBC News.<\/p>\n
Last August, two white men who allegedly beat a homeless Hispanic man cited Donald Trump’s rhetoric as their motive.<\/p>\n
\u201cDonald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,\u201d Scott Leader, one of the men, allegedly told the police.<\/p>\n
When asked about the alleged beating, Trump said that his followers are “very passionate.”<\/p>\n
