i'm going to take a look at it. >> and that condones -- and that condones a sucker punch though? >> no, as i told you before, nothing condones. but i want to see. the man got carried away. he was 78 years old. he obviously loves this country. and maybe he doesn't like seeing what's happening to the country. i want to see the full tape. >> so you might pay for his legal fees? >> i -- well, i'm going to look at it. i'm going to see what was behind this because it was a strange event. but from what i heard there was a -- you know, there was a lot of taunting and a certain finger was placed in the air. not nice. again, i don't condone the violence. i don't condone what he did, but you know what -- >> so it's possible -- it's possible you could help him with legal fees if this man needs it? >> i've actually instructed my people to look into it, yes. >> okay. i want to ask you about the moment yesterday in dayton. looked like a scary moment being rushed to the stage. i want to ask you, you said it was -- you praised the secret service, but then you said the man had ties to isis. turned

we don't condone violence. the kid did, from what i hear, stick up a certain finger right in everybody's face. and this man has had enough. i'll tell you what, people in this country are very angry. they're angry at incompetent politicians, angry at losing their jobs, not having a pay increase for 12 years and more effectively. everything's -- this country -- we can't beat isis. our military is going to hell. you look at what's going on with the vets, they're treated horribly, worse than illegal immigrants. we have a big portion of the country that's fed up. you look at the rust belt and other areas of our country where jobs are being taken. they're all being moved to mexico and other locations. they're being moved out of the united states. we have a president that doesn't have a clue. he doesn't know what's going on. and the people of this country are angry. they're not angry people, but they're angry now. >> you say and you just said again, you don't condone the violence. sir, the record is clear. we'll put u

i don't condone violence. some of these people are violent.ou policy question at the debate you talked about -- something i frankly use i shouldn't be allowed to use it when you talky laws, talked how you took advantage of them when you and i talked about your taxes you say try to pay as little as possible. if you are president, why wouldaws that you put in place if they knew you were taking advantage of those laws when you were in the private sector? >> because i know the gameybody, because i've been on the other side. i built one of the greatest companies. i did filing which shows one of assets, very little debt,, some of the greatest assets in the world. but let me just tell you, i use the bankruptcy laws just like other very successful people. i won't use theirme ten people, biggest people in all of business, we do it -- the game we play. we use the laws of the land.ay the game. wait a minute. as far as the visas are concerned i'm in the doing anything wrong, i think those visas shouldn't be allowed. but t

i don't condone violence. i don't condone what happened to him what he did. because he got carried away. it's very unfortunate. but this kid was walking out. finger up in the air as he was walking out. this man became very angry. again, i don't condone violence. the kid shouldn't have had the finger up in the air either. if that's what he did. i am going to take a look at the tape. i will let you know. >> so is that the threshold, is just the wrong gesture and it's okay to clock him? >> i think that is a terrible gesture if you want to know the truth. we can say the doesn't matter. i think it is a terrible gesture. it is interesting, these people are disruptors, they're not protesters, they're disruptors, professional disruptors in some cases. all they do. stand up and disrupt the if somebody did that at a bernie rally. many of these people come from . people. audience is. bernie's rallies and did the same thing, i want to tell you nobody talks about it. it is a whole different standard conservative versus a liberal. if people went to their rallies like my ra

i do not condone violence in any shape. and i will tell you, from what i saw, the young man stuck his finger up in the air, and the other man sort of just had it. but i still, i don't condone violence. >> do you plan on paying for the legal fees of this older gentleman in north carolina who sucker punched the protester? >> well i'm not aware. i will say this. i do want to see what that young man was doing. because he was very taunting. he was very loud. very disruptive, and from what i understand, he was sticking a certain finger up in the air. >> that condones a sucker punch, though? >> no, as i told you before, nothing condones. but i want to see. the man got carried away. >> right. >> he was 78 years old. he obviously loves this country, and maybe he doesn't like seeing what's happening to the country. i want to see the full tape. >> it's possible you could help him with legal fees if this man needs it? >> i've actually instructed my people to look into it, yes. >> as the discussion of violence absorbed the political wor

i understand -- i don't condone violence, i don't condone what happened to him and what he did because he got carried away and very unfortunate. but this kid was walking out and i understand he had certain finger up in the air as he's walking out. and this man became very angry. you know what, again, i don't condone violence but the kid shouldn't have had the finger up in the air, eitherf that's what he did. i'm going to take a look at the tape i'll let you know. >> dickerson: is that the threshold just wrong gesture and it's okay to clock him? >> well, i think that's a we can say oh, it doesn't matter but i think it's a terrible gesture. you know it's interesting, these people are disrupters they're not protesters they're disrupters, professional disrupters in some cases that's all they do they stand up and disrupt and if nobody did that at a bernie rally, many come from bernie. i have tremendous young people also, we have a whole level of young people, i can't even is. but if they ever went to bernie rallies did the same thing, i want to tell you you would be so angry with me, nobody

>> and i'm not condoning it. i'm encouraging everyone to focus on decency, civility, appealing to our better angels. my focus is on winning. winning the nomination. then on beating hillary clinton and bernie sanders. because let me be clear. hillary clinton would be a disaster for this country. if hillary clinton is the president, we will lose this supreme court for a generation. the second amendment will be effectively erased from the bill of rights. religious liberty will be lost for a generation. and our kids will be drowned in debt. jobs will keep fleeing america. i don't want to see my children's future taken away by hillary clinton becoming president. the way to prevent that is for republicans to continue uniting behind our campaign. you know, this week, i was honored to be endorsed by carly fiorina. also by mark levin. it's been incredible. by national review, we're seeing conservatives across the speck truck, uniting behind our campaign. as that continues to happen, i believe we're on a path to beating do

>> no, nothing condones. but like i say, i was 78 years old, and he -- i don't condone violence.ant to see what was behind this. it was a strange event. from what i heard there was a lot of taunting an a tern finger placed in the air. not nice. again i don't condone violence or what he did. but you know what -- >> is it possible you could -- >> not good on the other side either. >> so you may help with legal fees if this man needs it. >> i have instructed my people to look into it, yes. >> let's talk about this with our political panel, brian morgenstern, republican strategist and marco rubio supporter. a columnist and political commentator. boy, do i have a feeling you were in the room with me. i have a feeling where this will go. ellis, you first. donald trump, saying he was loud, taunting, certain finger in the air. he will look at it. at the same time, nothing condoned here. what is the message sent by donald trump as it pertains to all of this. >> sne he certainly seemed more passionate about the first part. it is understandable. terrible thing that happened. maybe we got to

donald trump says i don't condone violence.ent over the laud speaker advising people not to engage in violence. is it time for donald trump to say do not punch anyone, do not hit anyone, the opposite of things he said which is i would like to punch that guy in the face. >> again, that was said at the beginning of the rally. >> not by donald trump. should donald trump say that? >> he has. expand the speech. he'll say nobody touch him. nobody touch him. get him out. everybody be nice. nobody touch him. he says that over and over again. he's doing everything he can to prevent violence. that's what we're doing as a campaign but these people are coming in wanting violence. that's how they're making their statement. you should have seen what was going on outside of the event. it was hard for people to even get inside that event because there was a group of violent o protesters hitting and pushing and throwing things at people. these protesters are doing awful things. it's just awful that that stuff goes on. so i'm actually very, very

several inciden incidents prior to this condoning violence again even people in his own rallies.is fundamentally what the challenge is of that with a trump campaign. >> i don't mean to cut you off but i want to get kevin in here. you disagree, why? >> i'm not going to condone a lot of things donald trump does but this incident is completely being overblown. he touches the lady but no malice. it's strict ri we'rely we're ge by. >> you know what i think it is. we're showing the bruises she alleged she got from that incident. i think what it is, kevin is 24. had this been handled at the time, he did say that maybe she was making it up and in a way that fuelled the story to go on and on and now you have the police getting in on it. >> i'm not going to speak for what the police -- >> kevin, let me have you finish there. >> i'm not going to speak to what the police are doing. look at the video. i don't know where she got to bruises but it didn't come from that particular incident. >> how do you know? >> should they have -- because it was barely in passing and you don't see any reaction

i don't condone violence. but some of the people are violent. >> let me ask you a policy question, at the debate you talked hb 1 visas, you said something i frankly use, i shouldn't be allowed to use it. when you talked about bankruptcy laws, how you took advantage of them. you and i talk about your taxes, you pay as little as possible. if you are president why would anybody follow the laws you put in place if they know you were taking advantage of the laws in the private sector? >> because i know the game better than anybody. did a filing, one of the great companies, great assets. very little debt, tremendous cash flow. some of the greatest assets in the world. let me tell you, i use the bankruptcy laws just look other very successful people. i don't want to use their names. i could name ten people. the biggest peoplen all of business. it's the game we play. we use the laws of the land. we use it. game. concerned. i'm not doing anything wrong. i think the, those visas shouldn't be allowed. but they are allowe

efense. >> i don't condone the violence or what he did. you know what? not nice on the other side >> it's possible you could help him with legal fees if this man needs it? >> i instructed look to it, yes. >> reporter: a man was kicked out today, saying he thinks that trump is inciting the i get passionate about the whole racism and hate that is being shown at these orter: marco rubio saying he's very concerned someone could lose their life at a trump he's in florida. home state. grasping for votes as the new t journal"/marist poll has him behind trump. >> he's turned the mostant election into a circus, a carnival. >> reporter: john kasich faring better in ohio but even if he wins his home state, he can't secure the nomination without a . >> i think when people around the world see images of each other at the campaign rally they're like, we're in disarray. that's what they'll try to say. it will bea tool. >> reporter: and ted cruz is looking for against trump. >> responsibility starts at the top. it is not beneficial when you ndidate like donald trump tel

trump has not condoned that. that was one isolated incident among many, many protesters who have engaged in violence and vulgarities. it's the exception to the rule. >> there's more in terms of reaction to what has transpired. reince priebus was asked about the violence at the rallies and this is what he had to say. >> it's obviously not completely in my control what happens at these rallies and what people say and do but i'd leave it to the professionals and continue to talk about the fact that we need to have a solutions-based campaign and not obviously something that, you know, creates an environment that violence is present. >> should the rnc leadership be saying more, doing more? >> reince is in a tough spot because he is not allowed to take sides. he needs to just represent the party and is sort of in a position where he needs to let the candidates run their own events. that said, over the course of this campaign, we've seen not just reince but paul ryan and mitt and other party leaders weigh in at differen

that condones the safety and well being of others. we are take the matter seriously and will promptly and thoroughly investigate. was it staged? that's my first thought. >> i don't think so. i think you are putting yourself in a treky predicament if you are one of those two individuals unless it was trying to prove a point on a psa. >> i think the young lady was a good actress. i think the guy was terrible. his acting job was not up to par and that's why i think it was fake. >> really? >> yes. >> because you think he was acting like a weird dumb ass. >> he was acting like somebody acts when they stage a video. >> you agree with me because you are a theater person. >> yeah, but i watched it 75 times and there are people who talk like this and look like this for real. tom, you know because i think we have a photo of your high school yearbook. no, that's just you in class. some people just really do this, tom. >> i didn't talk and act like that. i just had the hair. it was a style thing. >> if you are not going to be kind to somebody --

he did say i don't condone violence in the abstract.ing of this man, he said well, he was at the end of his tether and then he said is he obviously a man who loves his country. what is obvious about the love of country of a phi who hits a guy in the face and sucker punched and then says on television you have seen it and i have seen it this is the guy who delivered the punch who says the next time we see this guy we may have to kill him. you are the candidate and you don't condemn him. come on, have you letting trump off the hook on this. >> i'm not. i said he has to readjust his rhetoric. >> come on, bill. readjust the rhetoric? what kind of weaselly words are those readjust the rhetoric? >> i'm trying to deal with this in@g fair and balanced way, all right? i think we are going to remove the word weaselly from that. >> it's not enough. the point i'm trying to make. >> and you made it very well -- i'm not going to rebut the point. i'm going to aloom nate the illuminate the point. trump speaks in emotional manner. he doesn't have notes.

i don't condone. i watched and i'm going to make a decision. i don't condone violence. maybe you are right. reporter: after the sucker punch, authorities charged john with a sold and battery and communicating threats. tisha: it's a decisive day for democrats and republicans. steve: the biggest prizes are forward and hawaii -- and ohio. be awaiting the results. >> marci gonzalez, abc 11. >> you can go to abc 11.com. more details about the photo id law. there is a counter and you can watch a q&a session and get complete coverage of the primary all evening long pre-we hope you will stay with us tonight. he will have complete results as they come in. we have breaking news coming in from washington. for 29 hours starting at midnight tonight. they need to make emergency safety inspections of electrical cables after a cable fire yesterday. metro will reopen not until thursday morning for the thursday morning rush hour. >> raleigh police officers will be getting body cameras as part of a pilot program approved by the city council today. an officer shot and killed a man in shot
