Collins asked the President if he wanted to condemn his supporters for firing a paintball gun and using pepper spray like he condemned left-wing political violence.
President Trump responded by pointing out that a right-wing protester was killed, not by a paintball but by a bullet. [RELATED: Clash Between Pro-Trump Caravan and BLM Leaves One Dead]
President Trump is flying to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday and has gone on record to tell his supporters to not respond to left-wing violence but allow local law enforcement to handle it.
