Trump asks Black Lives Matter protesters if they are ‘from Mexico’ before booting them from rally
Japan Times ^ | February 29, 2016 | Reuters

A Donald Trump rally in Virginia was repeatedly disrupted on Monday by protesters, including some from the Black Lives Matter movement, in a stark display of the divisions the Republican front-runner's presidential campaign has long been accused of sowing.

A Time magazine photographer trying to document the exit of dozens of black protesters from the rally in southwestern Radford, Virginia, was grabbed by the neck and shoved to the ground by a U.S. Secret Service agent.

Hecklers disrupted the rally on a day when the New York billionaire fended off criticism that he had not clearly condemned white supremacist support during an interview on CNN on Sunday.

Trump taunted the protesters, shouting "Are you from Mexico?" at one of them. Supporters in the audience confronted the hecklers in angry, face-to-face exchanges.

As black protesters were escorted from the rally, the crowd around them began to chant, "All lives matter."(continued)

Hard to think of a BETTER ENDORSEMENT than to have those clowns making fools of themselves at Trump rallies.

Ted Cruz is still my guy, but Trump is going to be the nominee and I will vote for him.

“At a rally last week in Nevada, Trump also jumped into the fray with a protester when he said, “I’d like to punch him in the face.”

Heh.

Go Trump.

Whatever it takes, we *must* get the commies out.

I fear that this is our last and only chance.

“I stepped 18 inches out of the (press) pen and then he grabbed me by the neck and started choking me and then he slammed me to the ground,” Morris told CNN at the scene.

poor widdle thing. When the secret service says 'stay there', it means 'stay there'. It's not open to negotiation.

LOVE IT. It’s about time we had a FIGHTER running. If they have a problem with Trump, they can PEACEFULLY PROTEST, or they can have their own (3-person) rallies.

They have no more right to disrupt Trump rallies as Trump people have to disrupt their rallies.

...and yes, if Hillary calls for a pro-Trump person to get clocked at a Hillary rally, I WILL DEFEND HER TOO...but that, of course, won’t happen.

I saw the rally; and he was singling out a mexican-looking person, not addressing the whole BLM rabble. To them, he said, with the audience: “All lives matter!”

That was epic.

So much for the traitorous MSM’s much vaunted and hallowed “status”.

Stay in your pen, like a good little drone.

Yes you can!
And Trump can also ignore coordinated attack media talking points.

But it would be fun if Trump did elaborate, and say something to the effect of:

I would roundly denounce the KKK, but since over half their tiny membership numbers are FBI agents, I worry that I might disrupt one of their ongoing sting operations....LOL!

1) Where's Melissa Click?

2) Was the Secret Service agent black? or the photographer?

3) After the way the Secret Service has been treated by both the Clintons, and the Obama White House, I'm betting they'd LOVE to work under President Trump: ergo they will go the extra mile to protect him, not only from harm but from embarrassment.
