Remember last week when some 78 year old white thug punch a black thug protester being escorted out of a Trump rally in North Carolina? Cumberland Sheriff’s Office is now investigating whether Donald Trump’s actions at a Fayetteville rally last week “rose to the level of inciting a riot.”

“We are continuing to look at the totality of these circumstances . . . including the potential of whether there was conduct on the part of Mr. Trump or the Trump campaign which rose to the level of inciting a riot,” said the statement from Cumberland Sheriff’s Office attorney Ronnie Mitchell. An associate in Mitchell’s office read the statement aloud to a Washington Post reporter.
The statement said the sheriff’s office was also looking into further charges against John Franklin McGraw, 78, who allegedly was the man seen sucker-punching a protester as that person was being led out of the Trump rally by police. In addition, Mitchell said, the office was investigating how its own deputies reacted — or didn’t — during the incident.
North Carolina is one of the states that will be voting tomorrow. Trump and Cruz are close in the polls. We’ll see if this affects it.
