Campaign vignette: Al Baldasaro plays a supporting role in Trump campaign shtick

State Rep. Al Baldasaro is one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters. The Londonderry Republican, himself no stranger to controversy, had a front row seat for Trump’s rally in Worcester last week and made a cameo appearance. Chris Caesar was on hand to capture the action:

Near the end, Trump did single out one man in the crowd as a winner: New Hampshire State Representative Al Baldasaro, who sat in the front row and helped the GOP front-runner for president publicly call for someone’s death without having to say the words himself. The candidate called Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl — a soldier who was captured in Afghanistan and later rescued after allegedly fleeing duty — a “dirty rotten traitor” and a “bum,” but let Baldasaro take the money shot.

“Now in the old days … what do we do with Sgt. Bergdahl 50 years ago?” He asked of the former Marine. Baldasaro gleefully mimics an execution shot to the head, to major cheers from the crowd.

“That’s right!” Trump said. “Boom, boom! Great veteran. Boom. He’s gone. He’s gone.”
