"We're all together and we want to get along with everybody, but when they have organized, professionally staged wise guys we've got to fight back, we've got to fight back," Trump said Saturday in Dayton, Ohio, during his first rally since the canceled Chicago event.
As he did the previous night in a round of phoned in TV interviews, Trump didn't walk back any of his rhetoric Saturday. He again claimed that neither the tone of his campaign nor his supporters were to blame for any violence at his rallies.
"They want me to tell my people please be nice be nice. My people are nice," Trump said Saturday.
"They were taunted, they were harassed by these other people."
