Donald Trump Fan Punches Black Protester at Rally
-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a white Donald Trump supporter who punched an
African-American protester during a Trump rally in Fayetteville, North
Carolina, has threatened the protester, saying next time he might kill
him. Video footage shows 26-year-old protester Rakeem Jones being
escorted out of the Trump rally when a white man in a cowboy hat steps
toward the aisle and sucker-punches Jones in the eye. The attacker, John
Mc Graw, has been charged with assault. Speaking to a journalist after
the event, Mc Graw threatened the protester's life.

Reporter: "Did you like the event?"

John Mc Graw: "You bet I liked it."

Reporter: "Yeah? What did you like about it?"

John Mc Graw: "Knocking hell out of that big mouth. We don't know who he
is, but we know he's not acting like an American."

Reporter: "So he deserved it?"

John Mc Graw: "Every bit of it."

Reporter: "What was that?"

John Mc Graw: "Yes, he deserved it. The next time we see him, we might
have to kill him."
