The violence at Donald Trump's rally is unwelcome news for Democrats

LA Times:

The violent protests that erupted outside Donald Trump’s rally in San Jose on Thursday night, which included punches thrown, eggs pelted and Trump supporters' hats stolen off their heads and set ablaze, are likely to have political fallout for Democrats.

 

The scene was an unwelcome one for the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Campaign Chairman John Podesta quickly moved to condemn this brand of civil disobedience, admonishing the violence in a tweet in which he included video of a Trump supporter being beaten.

 

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon reiterated the point on MSNBC on Friday morning, saying: “We absolutely reject and condemn the violence that we saw in California last night.”

 

Still, Friday is sure to be full of charges and counter-charges about who is at fault. Critics of Trump, including some Republicans, have been warning for weeks that his incendiary rhetoric was going to lead to people getting seriously hurt. Only hours before he took the stage on Thursday, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley repeated just such a warning in an interview with the Associated Press.

 

Some on the far left argued the protesters owed no apologies.

Thing is this doesn't matter to those doing the "protests".
