Donald Trump refuses to take responsibility for clashes that have erupted at his campaign events, saying he is not inciting violence but giving voice to the anger of his supporters.
The real estate tycoon used a round of television appearances to beat back criticism that he was encouraging discord with divisive language disparaging Muslims and immigrants.
"I don't accept responsibility," Trump said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The tension at his rallies, Trump said, came from people being "sick and tired".
"The people are angry at that - they're not angry about something I'm saying. I'm just the messenger," Trump said.
Trump appeared unchastened.
Trump has harnessed the discontent of white, working class voters angry over Mexican immigrants and Muslims entering the country.
Trump showed no signs of toning down. He accused protesters of arriving at his rallies armed or of sticking their middle finger up.
Trump said one supporter who sucker-punched a young black man being led out of a rally last week "got carried away" and told NBC he had instructed his staff to look into paying the man's legal fees.
Trump has used aggressive language against protesters at his rallies, yelling at them to get out and saying he would like to punch them.
