Trump supporters in the news

[Legion Troll]

During a Donald Trump rally in Louisville, Kentucky, on Super Tuesday, a young African-American protester was caught on camera getting shoved around and booted from the rally by attendees and Trump supporters.

One of the audience members — who yelled at the Black Lives Matter protester that she was “leftist scum” — was later identified as Matthew Heimbach, chairman of the white-nationalist Traditionalist Worker Party fighting for a “future free from economic exploitation, federal tyranny, and anti-Christian degeneracy.”

Heimbach subsequently blogged about the incident and said that he was “helping the crowd drive out one of the women who had been barking at the attendees.”

Heimbach also crashed a CPAC event on racial tolerance with a Confederate flag, to represent “disenfranchised” white citizens.

A CPAC spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

Robert Whitaker, a lifelong segregationist who says racial diversity will lead to “white genocide,” is frustrated. He's worked hard to promote his candidacy for president on the white nationalist American Freedom Party ticket. He wrote robocall scripts, sold bumper stickers, and vainly tried to get “White Self-Hatred Is SICK!!!” posted on a billboard in Nevada.

But the leaders of Whitaker's party have been neglecting his campaign so they can back a rival candidate: Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

The chairman of AFP is Los Angeles-based attorney William Johnson, a soft-spoken corporate lawyer and vehement white nationalist.

Last fall, Johnson launched thedailytrump.org/, a website that blends news about Trump's campaign with white supremacist messages.

For white nationalists, Trump's blend of populism and xenophobia has given the movement a rare opportunity to see its dominant themes reflected on the national stage.

Around the time he launched the website, Johnson created the wholesome-sounding American National Super PAC to support Trump, funded exclusively by Johnson. He brought in a Yale-educated white nationalist with a patrician voice, Jared Taylor, to help write and record pro-Trump robocalls.

Taylor is the editor of American Renaissance, a pseudo-intellectual journal that imagines a war against "white America."

Johnson, who once proposed a constitutional amendment to revoke citizenship of non-white Americans, said he never planned to back a candidate from outside the American Freedom Party.

“When Donald Trump first announced he would run for president, my view of Trump was 'he's a scoundrel.' But then he started talking, and I realized that I liked what he was saying. I decided to tailor my approach to promote Donald Trump."

Early this year, Johnson and Taylor recorded a pro-Trump robocall that was sent to voters in Iowa. "We don't need Muslim immigrants, Taylor said on the robocall, "we need white people."

After Iowa, Johnson kept at it, paying for calls in New Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota and North Dakota.

A round of calls went out this week to Idaho, which holds a GOP primary on March 8, and to Utah, where voters caucus on March 22.

On Saturday, another pseudo-intellectual white nationalist group, the National Policy Institute, held its annual Washington dinner at the Ronald Reagan building. This year's subject: Donald Trump.

Trump shared a tweet with his 6.7 million followers from a Twitter user who claimed to be tweeting from "Jewmerica."

That Twitter user's name?

WhiteGenocideTM.

Multiple videos appear to show a protester at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina being sucker-punched by a Trump supporter.

The videos, which appeared on social media early Thursday, are shot from different perspectives, and appear to show an African American man leaving the Trump rally as the audience boos.

He is being led out of the rally by men in uniforms that read “Sheriff’s Office.”

Then, out of nowhere, the man is punched in the face by a pony-tailed man, who appears to be white, in a cowboy hat, black vest and pink shirt as the crowd begins to cheer.

The protester stumbles away, and then is detained by a number of the men in uniforms, who handcuff him while he is on the ground.

Trump rallies are getting a reputation for violence by Trump supporters.

After a fight erupted between protesters and police last year in Birmingham, Trump said: “‘Maybe he should have been roughed up.”

Of a protester in Nevada last month, Trump said: “I’d like to punch him in the face.”

In Kentucky, he said: “Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do I’ll defend you in court. Are Trump rallies the most fun? We’re having a good time.”

John McGraw was arrested Thursday morning after assaulting Rakeem Jones, who had been protesting at the event. Jones was being escorted out by law enforcement when videos show McGraw punching him.

"Yes, he deserved it," McGraw said in an interview. "The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don't know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization."

The candidate himself has fostered a toxic environment at his events.

At a Las Vegas rally just before the Nevada caucus, Trump responded to a protester's interruption by saying he wanted to punch the man in the face.

At another rally in Iowa, he promised to pay the legal fees of supporters who "knock the crap out" of protesters.

The GOP frontrunner also often speaks about the "good old days" when he says law enforcement was allowed to be tougher with interrupters.
