It reads to me like the response you'd get from the parent of a bully who can't possibly believe her kid beat another kid into unconsciousness, even though her kid is standing there with blood all over his shirt and fifty eyewitnesses swearing he did it.

This looks like he's blaming Hillary's supporters for his team's actions. "Oh no. We've NEVER had any violence at MY rallies. Even when we went to New York City and Detroit we didn't have any violence. So there's no possible way MY supporters did it!"

I hope he saved a few of those $27 donations. We need to bill him for the labor involved in cleaning up the trail of shit he left behind him.
