Donald Trump has sparked outrage for his horrific response to a protestor being physically attacked at one of his campaign rallies.
On Monday, Trump was speaking at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, when a woman in the crowd interrupted his speech.
The protestor was wearing a shirt with “Release the Epstein Files” written on it.
Immediately, the woman was physically attacked by people around her, with footage showing one man appearing to hit her in the face, pull her hair and try to slam her head on the ground.

The entire time, Trump just smiled and watched on, referring to the woman as a man and calling her a “paid protestor.”
As the crowd chanted “USA, USA,” Trump said: “He’s a paid protester. They’re all paid. They get paid by the lefties — in order to destroy our country. They’re scum.”
“But he’s going back home to mom. He’s going back home to mom,” Trump added as the protestor was escorted away by security.
Trump wasn’t done though, continuing to mock the protestor’s appearance and offer absolutely no condemnation of the audience member who attacked her.
“Look at him, look at him, terrible. Don’t we love law enforcement? Oh, he’s got to go on a diet. He’s a fat guy,” he continued, before adding: “Gotta go on a diet fast. We all do.”
Fox News reports that the man who was filmed hitting the woman was allowed to stay in the venue and was seen “exchanging high-fives with other attendees.”
The shocking footage of the physical assault and Trump’s response has sparked fury online.
