Mike Barnicle discusses Trump’s role in enabling the violent episodes at his rallies

As violence continues to be a component at rallies for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle discusses Trump’s role in enabling the violent episodes. “Donald Trump’s rhetoric emboldens the crowd in front of him. It’s not what he says, it’s how he says it. It’s a show that he puts on for the people assembled there, but there is an element to the show where he does embolden people to behave the way we’ve seen. He says he hopes he doesn’t do that, but the reality is that it happens around him,” says Mike. Watch the MSNBC Morning Joe conversation and report on the anger and aggressiveness being found at Trump rallies.
