Trump Spox Blames Violence on Cops on Clinton and Obama Who Quoted Line from ‘the Untouchables’

Tapper: ‘Ýou should check out the film “the Untouchables”‘

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPPER: "Katrina, I’m coming to you in a second. But I want to play some tape. Mr. Trump called into wolf Blitzer’s show earlier today and I want you to take a listen."
[clip starts]
TRUMP: "If one person gets up and starts shouting and the police walk that person out, they try and make it like it’s a violent thick. It’s not violent. It’s a protester. But there’s no violence. I mean nobody’s been hurt."
[clip ends]
TAPPER: "With all due respect, Katrina, that’s demonstrably untrue. Here’s video of a man with a bloody face being put into an ambulance outside a trump event in St. Louis. Here’s people being pepper sprayed in Kansas City on Saturday. Here you see people shoving a black female protester as Mr. Trump shouts “Get out, get out.” This is video of a black lives matter protester who said he was tackled punched and kicked by trump supporters and this is another fight that broke out during a trump rally. How can the trump campaign deny that anybody has been hurt?"
PIERSON: "Well, I think this is exactly what I wanted to talk about in all honesty, Jake, because the one thing the media does not show is what happens prior to these events where you do have these Black Lives Matter protesters go out there, whether it’s moveon.org pushing people out to these or not. They go into these trump rallies and start swinging and kicking, they throw themselves on the ground, start throwing themselves into people and expect to not be pushed off of them? That’s what see happening. Unfortunately the media doesn’t want to show that part. I’ll say this. If we want to talk about inciting violence, where is the interview with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama when they’re talking about bringing a gun to a knife fight, what they’rin citing violence against police officers. We have police officers called out to fake calls so they can be ambushed and potentially assassinated. We’re talking about protesters, paid protesters going to disrupt a Republican rally. If it wasn’t Donald Trump, it would be any of the other candidates on this panel and they know it."
TAPPER: "The line from the Untouchable about bringing a gun to a knife fight, I think people recognize that was --"
PIERSON: "I don’t think so. I didn’t. I didn’t recognize that. Absolutely not."
TAPPER: "You should check out the film, “The untouchable S.” Alex, I want you to respond."
