Morning Throwback: is it just us, or were political rallies more interesting back in the day?

We know all about throwing shade at political rallies, but throwing punches? That’s hardcore. And the guy on the receiving end is just so cool about it. He’s all like, “Give it to me.” Somebody probably said, “Dude, no one’s gonna to show up at the rally,” and he said, “Don't worry about it” and then orchestrated the whole thing just to grab some attention. That’s really taking one for the team.
