62. It wasn't thrown because of the comment about Bernie

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind hurling one myself, but common sense assumes the assailant wasn't standing in the crowd munching on a fresh tomato and snapped when Trump insulted Sanders. The protester brought tomatoes with sole intent to toss them regardless of what Trump had to say.

The headline misleadingly implies that one event must have led to the other. No one knows who the protester supports, it just wasn't Trump.
