Wisconsin: Teenager Groped, Pepper-Sprayed at Trump Rally
---------------------------------------------------------

Trump's comments come only one day after a 15-year-old girl was
pepper-sprayed and sexually assaulted during protests outside a Donald
Trump rally in Janesville, Wisconsin. The teenager was holding a sign
reading, "Damn, Donald, back at it again with the white supremacy." She
was surrounded by Trump supporters, some chanting, "All lives matter."
She says she was groped by a man in the crowd. A video then shows her
being pepper-sprayed by another person when she confronted her alleged
attacker. This comes as Donald Trump faces increasing criticism that he
permits violence at his rallies. Trump has said he would pay the legal
fees of his supporters charged with attacking protesters.
