President Barack Obama on Friday chastised opponents of Donald Trump for engaging in violence at a rally for the presumptive GOP nominee the previous night.
"It is very important for us to remind ourselves of who we are and what is best about American democracy and not slip into some of the bad habits that currently manifest themselves in the other party," Obama said at a Democratic National Committee private event in Miami, according to a pool report.
"We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff at Trump supporters. That's not what our democracy is about."

From Breitbart:
Obama Condemns Violent Anti-Trump Protesters
Obama made his remarks during a DNC fundraiser in Miami, Florida on Friday night, criticizing Democrats for imitating the violence under way in the Republican primary process.“It is very important for us to remind ourselves of who we are and what is best about American democracy, and not slip into some of the bad habits that currently manifest themselves in the other party,” Obama said.
Obama explained that he wanted Democrats to focus on making arguments and organizing support for their candidates.“There’s no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side — even if you vehemently disagree,” he said. “Because I believe if you’ve got the better argument, you don’t need to do that. Just go out there and organize and persuade.”
