——there were paid disrupters who in lawless Chicago were successful

I loved the young latino lady they were interviewing in the crowd on CNN (I think? I was flipping channels), she said she was protesting Trump and they asked here why, and she didn’t have an answer. The reporter fed her “so you don’t want to say?” “yea, I don’t want to say...”

She didn’t want to say she was making $50 for 2 hours of protest, and she got to hang with all the other college kids who were going to go and binge party after they got their checks.

lol, well later (or earlier) she kept telling Trump “it’s not quieting down, no one is dispersing from our cameras”

Trump told her “you’ve been playing the same 3 video’s over and over for 30 minutes, I’m here watching your newscast, and you keep showing the same punching...”

Greta admitted that “oh yeah, it is the same loop of tape”

He said that, AFTER he placed the responsibility for the actions of the rioters on the rioters. More half truths. to attack Cruz.while you forget the communists are the real enemy, and instead make more enemies with your lying crap.

Once they get a taste of silencing people it won’t stop with Trump.

But it will stop.

MoveOn.org and AnswerChicago, two of the major organizing forces in this exercise, of course are not being included in the many many articles on the topic.

Because ‘Bernie Sanders supporters’ doesn’t actually convey the organized action by liberal organizations to disrupt the Trump campaign.

I can understand the intentional blindness by many political commentators. The concept that organized liberal action by organizations is one they quickly want to forget; else what would happen if these organizations flexed their muscles at Democrats, for example?

Oh, right, there’s video of that - from many many previous events, including live on air during the DNC convention in 2000. Of course, even back then, reporting intentionally chose to exclude that those protesters were bussed in, issued pre-printed signs, and told where to march and where to direct their anger.

True. Most don’t understand the veracity of your statement. They would understand if they could recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
