When the fight briefly interrupted the rally, Trump said, “Get him the hell out of here, will you, please?”

Afterward, Trump’s campaign said it “does not condone” the physical violence, CNN reports. But in a Fox & Friends interview Sunday, the Republican presidential hopeful himself took a different tone.

“Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing,” Trump said before calling the protester “an obnoxious guy who was looking to make trouble.”

Southall said he doesn’t think he was seriously injured and that he’d like to see a police investigation into the attack against him.
