Trump Blames "Organized Thugs" For Violence, Establishment Blames Trump
By Tyler Durden
Amid confusion over the cancellation (due to more security concerns) of today's rally in Ohio – since denied by Trump campaign officials – the finger of blame for last night's violent protests is wending its way through the mainstream media. First Cruz, then Rubio, followed this morning by Hillary, Kasich, and even Bernie (among various talking heads and 'spinners') all point to Trump's campaign “for creating an environment of division.” Trump (and his supporters) see the sudden eruption of 1000s of well coordinated protesters as oddly coincidental ahead of Super Tuesday 3 next week noting that, rather against the establishment's hopes, “The organized group of people, many of them thugs, who shut down our First Amendment rights in Chicago, have totally energized America!”
Following Chicago's chaos, it appears, as Reuters reports, today's Ohio rally was also under pressure from security concerns, but the cancellation has been denied:
A spokeswoman for U.S. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday denied a media report that he had canceled an Ohio rally because of security concerns.
The Cincinnati.com news website had quoted Eric Deters, a local spokesman for Trump's campaign, as saying the candidate's Secret Service security detail could not complete preparations in time to hold the event on Sunday at Cincinnati's Duke Energy Convention Center.
But Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email: “We don't know Eric Deters. There has been no cancellation.”
Trump says on Twitter that, “The rally in Cincinnati is ON. Media put out false reports that it was cancelled.”
“Will be great — love you Ohio!” he adds.
Trump had said in an interview with MSNBC on Friday that, “You can't have a rally in a major city in this country anymore without violence or potential violence.”
However, the squabbles continue – over who is to blame (as Slate.com reports)
Five people were arrested Friday night and two officers were injured in skirmishes that broke out after Donald Trump abruptly canceled a Chicago rally on Friday.
Rivals quickly pointed the finger at Trump, saying that the violence at his rallies reflect the tenor of the frontrunner’s campaign.
“A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment,” said Ted Cruz. “The predictable consequence of [Trump’s comments] is it escalates. Today is unlikely to be the last such instance.”
Sharp words from Marco Rubio about Donald Trump and the mess at Trump's canceled rally in Chicago: “I believe Donald Trump as our nominee is going to shatter and fracture the Republican Party and the conservative movement,” Rubio says that some of the blame for what happened Friday night in Chicago lies with the protesters, but he says much of the divisiveness is in Trump's hands. Rubio says Trump is feeding into some voters' anger and bitterness and is manipulating that for votes…“You saw those images last night of people … often divided up on racial lines in many cases. Police officers bleeding from the head reminiscent of images from …read more
