31% : Take a look at what's gone off in LA where people murder people and they don't get charged," Trump said.
21% : Trump falsely claimed Tarrio was imprisoned for defacing a Black Lives Matter flag rather than on seditious conspiracy charges"One of the guys took down a flag that was an anti American flag, and he was given years in jail.
