>> The man who was punched in the face by a Donald Trump supporter at one of the President-elect’s rallies earlier this year got an apology from his attacker, and even gave him a hug when they met during a court hearing Wednesday.
McGraw was charged in March after online videos showed him sucker-punching Jones in the face. He later said, “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him.”
McGraw and Jones appeared to put their differences aside when they came face to face in court. Jones said that the two men talked online before meeting, and came to an understanding.
“He basically wanted to let me know that it wasn’t a racial thing that he didn’t threaten me,” Jones said. “It wasn’t scripted.” << -- Man Punched by Trump Supporter at NC Rally Receives Apology, Hug From Attacker

I suspect this is a manifestation of the spiritual healing of which emilynghiem often speaks. It's a damn sight better story than the divisive hateful crap the bitter old men of this board love to keep dumping.
Here's a guy who forgives his attacker and pronounces the apology sincere. Donald Rump loves to incite this kind of shit but here are two people rising above it and saying no to that sort of manipulation. Good for them. United we stand.
To quote John McGraw directly:
"We are caught up in a political mess today, and you and me, we got to heal our country.” Well said.
