Donald Trump Dayton rally attacker says he's Christian, not ISIS

Thomas DiMassimo, the protester who disrupted Donald Trump's recent rally in Dayton, Ohio, says he is a Christian and has denied allegations that he is affiliated with ISIS.

A video of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday shows the billionaire reacting as Secret Service agents formed a protective wall to block a protester charging towards him. New footage of the incident shows the man, Thomas DiMassimo, jumping past a barrier and several security guards before he is stopped, according to The Christian Post.

Thomas DiMassimo, 32, was later charged with the misdemeanors of disorderly conduct and inducing panic. However, the Cobb County Georgia resident spoke to CNN and revealed that he only wanted to send Donald Trump a message and had no intention to hurt the Republican presidential candidate.

DiMassimo said he thought he could get up on stage, take the mic, and tell the people that they can all band against Donald Trump and what he calls the billionaire's "supremacist ideas." He also accused Trump of trying to destroy the U.S. to gain power for himself, the report relays.

"I was thinking that Donald Trump is a bully, and he is nothing more than that. He is somebody who is just saying a lot of bold things, he's making bold claims," DiMassimo told CNN. "But I can see right through that and I can see that he's truly just a coward. And he's opportunistic and he's willing to destroy this country for power for himself."

Morevoer, DiMassimo denied Trump's allegations about him having ties with ISIS. The protester said he is a Christian.

Because of what happened at the Ohio rally, Donald Trump announced that he had decided to cancel the event to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Thomas DiMassimo, on the other hand, is set to appear in court on Wednesday.
