Coulter: I’d like to see ‘a little more violence’ from Trump supporters
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter late Sunday weighed into the debate over Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s increasingly physical campaign events, calling for “a little more violence.”
She suggested in another tweet that some Trump supporters are simply “exhibiting manly temper” at rallies, likening it to the stamina of U.S. Marines.
I would like to see a little more violence from the innocent Trump supporters set upon by violent leftist hoodlums.

Trump supporters exhibiting manly temper–the same manly temper that drives the U.S. Marine Corps that Rubio wants to send around the world.

{mosads}Trump’s GOP and Democratic presidential rivals have panned the increasing unrest at his campaign events following a series of scuffles on Friday night after his Chicago rally was canceled.
Images emerged on social media showing some bloodied faces, and video has shown multiple punches thrown between Trump supporters and protesters.
“We’ve got to put an end to this,” Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said during a televised town hall in Ohio on Sunday night ahead of voting on Tuesday.
“Trump has got to get on the TV and tell his supporters that violence in the political process in America is not acceptable. End of discussion,” Sanders said.
