Outrage as Trump 'condones female violence' after getting heckled at rally

COACHELLA, CALIFORNIA: GOP nominee Donald Trump sparked fresh controversy by casually commenting on a scenario where a woman apparently gets beaten up, after he got heckled while speaking at a campaign rally in Coachella on Saturday, October 12.

According to Raw Story, a woman disrupted Trump while he was talking about his perceived problems with the state of California. She was escorted out of the venue, presumably by security, as the former president commented, "This election is your chance to send a message."

"Back home to mommy," he continued at the disrupter. "She goes back home to mommy. 'Was that you darling?' And then she gets the hell knocked out of her."

"Her mother is a big fan of ours. Her mother, her father," he added.

Donald Trump bashed California in his Coachella rally

Addressing his supporters 23 days ahead of election day, Donald Trump slammed his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, in her home state of California, and listed out the problems he believed the state was facing under Democratic leadership.

The business tycoon depicted California as "a lawless, dystopian state," reported Los Angeles Times. He claimed the state had "the highest inflation, the highest taxes, the highest gas prices, the highest cost of living, the most regulations, the most expensive utilities, the most homelessness, the most crime, the most decay, and the most illegal aliens.”

“Other than that, you’re doing quite well, actually,” he noted. “We’re not going to let Kamala Harris do to America what she did to California.”
