Grandpa is angry, really angry.
Black Lives Matter protesters were disrupting a Trump rally at North Carolina today, and a 78 year old man was sick and tired of it.
A man who attended Donald Trump’s rally in North Carolina was arrested and charged Thursday with two criminal counts of assault and disorderly conduct after multiple videos posted online appear to show him punching a protester in the face.
John McGraw, 78, was questioned and arrested by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office in connection with the incident after police identified him as the man in the video, public information officer Sgt. Sean Swain told CNN.
McGraw appears in the video to punch a black protester in the face as he was being escorted out of the venue with a group of protesters by a half-dozen police officers. The incident occurred during Trump’s rally Wednesday night in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
The department has also opened an internal investigation probing whether the officers in the video, who did not detain or arrest McGraw on site, should have done so, Swain said.
McGraw’s bond was set at $2,500 secured, and his next court date is April 6.
Donald Trump’s campaign said they were not commenting on the incident.
“That has nothing to do with us,” campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks
