It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that there has been more violence at Trump campaign stops than anywhere else this election cycle, but who if anyone is to blame? Chris Christie thinks he knows and you might agree.

From The Daily Caller:

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Donald Trump supporter, accused Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders of sending supporters to Trump’s rallies “in order to commit violent acts.”

Christie was asked about the recent violence after casting his vote for Trump in Mendham Township, N.J. on Tuesday.

“I think it’s awful that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have sent their supporters there in order to commit violent acts, and I think it’s a terrible thing,” Christie replied.

Christie said, “Both Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton this week denounced the people finally who are supporters of theirs who are going to Donald’s rallies only to create violence.”

Sanders and Clinton’s campaigns both denounced the violence a few hours after Trump’s rally in San Jose, Calif.

“We saw that going as far back as Chicago a couple of months ago,” Christie continued. “These are people who say that they’re open and tolerant and understanding of other’s views, yet they stand outside and commit violent protests.”

“Everybody is allowed to protest. You can peacefully protest wherever you want [if] you oppose a candidate, go and protest peacefully, but they don’t do that. They commit violent acts, and that’s wrong,” he insisted. “That’s wrong for anybody to do.”

Are these people Pro-Bernie or Pro-Hillary, or is it possible that they are unaffiliated and are responding to Trump’s rhetoric with violence?
