Republican contenders, Clinton address AIPAC

One day before Arizona and Utah vote, Donald Trump is beefing up security on the campaign trail, Monday.

The latest episode of violence occurred over the weekend at a rally in Tuscon.

A Trump supporter sucker-punched a protester, pulled him to the ground and repeatedly kicked him.

Trump believes the protesters share in the responsibility for the unrest.

“At what point do people blame the protesters?,” Trump asked? “These are people who are professional agitators and they should be blamed here, too.”

The GOP forntruuner criticized President Obama’s visit to Cuba, the first time a sitting U.S. president has seen stepped foot in Havana in 88 years.

“I mean we are amateur hour, folks,” Trump said. “And, honestly, Obama should’ve turned the plane around and left. No, he should’ve he should’ve turned it around and said bye-bye.”

Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich addressed AIPAC, the lobby group for Israel, Monday.

Hillary Clinton spoke at the conference earlier in the day, calling into question Trump’s support for Israel.

“We need steady hands, not a president who’s says he’s neutral on Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday and who knows what on Wednesday because everything is negotiable,” Clinton said. “My friends Israel’s security is non-negotiable.”

Bernie Sanders, the only Jewish candidate to ever win a presidential primary decided to skip AIPAC.

Both parties vote in Arizona and Utah Tuesday. Idaho Democrats hold presidential caucuses.
