COACHELLA, Calif. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump called for a protester at one of his rallies to “go back home to Mommy” to “get the hell knocked out of her,” his latest instance of using violent language when confronted by demonstrators.
The protester was ejected from Trump's Saturday evening rally in Coachella, California. As the crowd jeered her, Trump said “Back home to Mommy. She goes back home to Mommy.”
Trump continued, imitating the imagined mother: “'Was that you, darling?' And she gets the hell knocked out of her.”
“Her mother's a big fan of ours,” the former president finished before returning to his speech. “Her mother, her father.”
It was unclear what the protester was doing during the event, or what happened to her afterwards.
Trump has a long history of using violent language about hecklers at his rallies. During his 2016 campaign, he urged his crowds to “knock the crap” out of protesters and said of one, “I'd like to punch him in the face.”

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater will miss a second straight game Sunday against Green Bay, while the Packers welcome back wide receiver Christian Watson and cornerback Jaire Alexander.
The Cardinals announced Sunday that Prater is inactive for the game because of a knee injury that also prevented him from playing in their 24-23 victory at San Francisco last week. Chad Ryland was promoted from the practice squad for a second straight week to kick in Prater’s place.
Prater went 3 of 4 on field-goal attempts in the 49ers game, including a 35-yarder that put the Cardinals ahead for good with 1:37 left. His lone miss was blocked and returned for a 49ers touchdown.
The Packers (3-2) announced that Alexander and Watson are both active for Sunday’s game. Alexander was dealing with a groin issue and had missed two games. Watson sat out the Packers’ 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams with an ankle injury.
Inactive players for the Packers include defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr., offensive tackles Andre Dillard and Travis Glover, tight end John FitzPatrick and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt. This will be the second straight game Wyatt has missed as he recovers from an ankle injury.
Joining Prater on the Cardinals’ inactive list are cornerback Darren Hall, linebackers Victor Dimukeje and Xavier Thomas and tight end Travis Vokolek.
