I'm an independent thinker. When I first read his entire statement this phrase jumped out and slapped me in the face.

I can't, and won't, speak for others.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that he would use a rally location that had no violence during the rally to explain that the reports of his supporters crossing the line just can't be true. I can come up with a least 10 funny analogies but I'm tired and my fingers aren't cooperating with my brain.

Have a nice evening
