CLEVELAND — Donald Trump has identified the culprit for all the disturbances at his recent rallies — Bernie Sanders.

Speaking at a boisterous rally here on Saturday, the Republican frontrunner said Sanders and his supporters were to blame for the clashes and interruptions at his events, including Friday night's rally in Chicago that had to be canceled because of the chaos that broke out.


“Bernie was saying, Mr. Trump should speak to his crowd,” he said. “You know where they come from? Bernie’s crowd," Trump added, talking about the protesters at his events.

“Get ’em out,” Trump said, as a protester disrupted his Saturday afternoon rally.

Trump said “Bernie’s people” were constantly disrupting his rallies “every five minutes.” Addressing Chicago, he said, “We had a little bit of a problem. We were not allowed to exercise our First Amendment rights.”

The crowd erupted in massive jeers. “It just makes all of our friends more angry,” he said. “We’re going to go to the polls on Tuesday and we’re going to be resounding victory.”

Sanders strongly rejected the idea that his campaign was responsible for the chaos at his rallies, including Friday night's event in Chicago. “As is the case virtually every day, Donald Trump is showing the American people that he is a pathological liar. Obviously, while I appreciate that we had supporters at Trump’s rally in Chicago, our campaign did not organize the protests," Sanders said in a statement.

He continued, “What caused the protests at Trump’s rally is a candidate that has promoted hatred and division against Latinos, Muslims, women, and people with disabilities, and his birther attacks against the legitimacy of President Obama."

As more protesters interrupted Trump's afternoon event, Trump returned to Sanders. "Hey Bernie, get your people in line," he wisecracked, before laying into the Vermont senator, who is trailing Hillary Clinton but has secured some big wins along the way.

"Our crowds are so much bigger than Bernie's," he said. "I think Bernie’s finished, but we’ve been saying that for about four weeks."

"Hillary cannot seem to win, even against a communist," Trump marveled. He said it's a wonder how "in our great, great world that a communist cannot be beaten by Hillary Clinton. It’s terrible."

Trump added, “Wouldn’t it be fun to meet Bernie in the finals. “
