What I do ask, is not to be violent,” “I hear there was a little bit of violence out there today and that’s unacceptable. We live in a democracy, it’s about freedom of speech. If they want to go out there do cartwheels, jump up and down, hold signs up, that’s fine. But violence is where you cross the line”

And they said you have to do all or none,”
