Following the violence that erupted during Donald Trump's rally in Chicago, Illinois, Democrat Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders called out Trump during ABC's "This Week" segment (via Patriot News) for the latter's statements on Twitter accusing Sanders and Hillary Clinton of staging the events.

The rally was initially scheduled to go by peacefully until several agitators arrived on the scene, with riots occuring between Trump's supporters and those rallying against him, as well as with the local Chicago police. Several arrests were made and the rally had to be shut down.

Trump later spoke on CNN, stating that Sanders and Clinton had thousands of disruptors at the rally and that he and his followers were treated unfairly. Trump then stated that if his supporters would attend one of Sanders' rallies, the results would be "unbelievable," hinting that even more violence would occur as a war breaks out between the two.

"I think anybody understands Mr. Trump's campaign knows that he tells the truth very very rarely," Sanders explained during the news segment. "And I'm afraid that on this occasion he's lying again."

Sanders continued to explain that while they had "millions" of supporters in the area during Trump's rally, he and Clinton had nothing to do with organizing the disruption that eventually led to a riot and the cancellation of Trump's event. Sanders stated that Trump's allegations were simply untrue.

Trump just recently responded when he posted another message via Twitter claiming that Sanders was a liar and that Sanders should be forewarned that Trump's supporters may also attend one of Sanders's or Clinton's events to cause their own deal of trouble.

Trump also stated that through all of his rallies, not one person has ever been injured. As stated by CNN, this announcement comes only a week after a 78-year-old supporter was punched during one of his rallies in North Carolina.
