A federal judge rejected President
Donald Trump's free speech defense in response to his alleged inciting of
violence among protesters during his presidential campaign, reported Jurist.
The current lawsuit against Trump alleges the then-presidential candidate attempted
to incite violence among his supporters by saying "get 'em out of
here" in response to protesters at his Kentucky rally. At the rally two
women and a man were supposedly shoved and punched by several members in
attendance at the rally following his statements. The judge specifically held
that there was sufficient evidentiary support that the injuries were a
"direct and proximate result" of Trump's comments. Two people who
allegedly forced the three protesters out were also named in the lawsuit.
President Donald Trump's election campaign faced
serious concerns over eliciting violence against those opposed to his cause. In
November state democrats raised
voter intimidation suits in six states, yet only a federal judge in Ohio
granted the requested injunction before being rejected
on appeal.
