By now you know that Thomas Dimassimo, who rushed a stage in Dayton, Ohio, where Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was speaking, is the son of a city of Atlanta administrator.

So far as we can tell, this CNN footage is the first with the Pebblebrook High School graduate since he's bonded out:

"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. 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," DiMassimo said.
