Here's what Diamond reported on CNN.com:
"Several attendees at the rally punched and kicked a protester who tried to disrupt Trump's speech.
"At least a half-dozen attendees shoved and tackled the protester, a black man, to the ground as he refused to leave the event. At least one man punched the protester and a woman kicked him while he was on the ground.
"All of the attendees who were involved in the physical altercation with the protester were white."
