"A federal judge ruled that President Trump during his campaign incited violence at a rally in Louisville, Ky., allowing the case against him and three supporters to proceed, the Courier-Journal reported.
"Judge David J. Hale on Friday rejected the free speech defense in the suit against Trump, his campaign and three of its supporters.
"The incident in question is when Trump, then a candidate for the Republican nomination, yelled “get ‘em out of here” at a campaign event on March 1, 2016, referencing protesters in the crowd.
"The protesters who brought the suit said Trump supporters attacked them at the rally.
"It is plausible that Trump’s direction to 'get 'em out of here' advocated the use of force. Unlike the statements at issue in the cases cited by the Trump Defendants, 'get 'em out of here' is stated in the imperative; it was an order, an instruction, a command," the judge wrote."
