From the March 14 edition of CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper:

KATRINA PIERSON: Well, I think this is exactly what I wanted to talk about in all honesty, Jake, because the one thing the media does not show is what happens prior to these events where you do have these Black Lives Matter protesters go out there, whether it's MoveOn.org pushing people out to these or not. They go into these Trump rallies and they start swinging and kicking, they throw themselves on the ground, start throwing themselves into people and then expect to not be pushed off of them? That's what see happening. Unfortunately the media doesn't want to show that part. And I'll say this: If we want to talk about inciting violence, where is the interview with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama when they're talking about bringing a gun to a knife fight, when they're inciting violence against police officers. Today, we have police officers called out to fake calls so they can be ambushed and potentially assassinated. And we're talking about protesters, paid protesters going to disrupt a Republican rally? If it wasn't Donald Trump, it would be any of the other candidates on this panel and they know it. 

JAKE TAPPER (HOST): The line from “The Untouchables” about bringing a gun to a knife fight, I think people recognize that was an allusion to a Sean Connery -- 

PIERSON: I don't think so. I didn't. I didn't recognize that. Absolutely not. 

TAPPER: You should check out the film, “The Untouchables.”
