Just another day on the campaign trail for Donald Trump.

Source: CNN

Several attendees at the rally punched and kicked a protester who tried to disrupt Trump's speech.

At least a half-dozen attendees shoved and tackled the protester, a black man, to the ground as he refused to leave the event. At least one man punched the protester and a woman kicked him while he was on the ground.

All of the attendees who were involved in the physical altercation with the protester were white.

The protester appeared to be shouting "black lives matter" and later removed his sweatshirt to reveal a shirt with those words.

Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN that "the campaign does not condone this behavior."
