Earlier we heard of two protesters who were arrested and assaulted while at a Trump rally. Donald Trump has now canceled his rally in Chicago due to security concerns and protestors.
Trump suporters and protestors have gotten into a heated argument that lead to a lot of people feeling unsafe. People are concerned about security as the population at the rally is growing. Hundreds of people have showed up to protest against Donald Trump. A spokes person for Trump released a statement saying,
“Mr. Trump just arrived in Chicago, and after meeting law enforcement, has determined that for the safety of all the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena tonight’s rally will be postponed until another date. Thank you very much for your attendance, and please go in peace.”
Trump says he does not encourage this behavior but he does defend his supporters.
