Trump thanks Latina supporter; now mounting backlash threatens her business
KGUN-TV ^ | 3/21/16 | Megan Thompson

Posted on 03/22/2016 3:24:27 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

It has been two days since she took center stage, next to the GOP front runner Donald Trump in Tucson.

Ever since she showed her support for the billionaire, she has been harassed at her business.

....While KGUN9 was inside Sammy's Mexican Grill, the phone rang several dozen times, many calling Betty Rivas and her family racists, vulgar names and threatening their business.

.... Rivas told KGUN9, she's shocked at all the controversy this sign has created because - she took a similiar sign to the Bernie Sanders rally in Tucson. That's right - she has not even decided who she is going to vote for.

Despite all the drama though, Rivas does not regret making that sign and going on stage at all.

Poor lady. Getting an up close and personal lesson on “liberal tolerance”.

Hope she fares OK in the end.

She took a “Latinos support Trump” sign to a Bernie rally? Brave woman.

The Lefties are the most intolerant, obnoxious, unrepenting, and aggressive group of political hacks. Riots, demonstrations, civil disobedience, disruptions, chanting, etc., are trademarks only of the Democrat Liberal Socialist Progressives. A truly disgusting group of Americans.

All of this Alinsky stuff would not exist if it hadn’t been protected and promoted by the liberals. Liberal politicians have been protecting these radicals for years. They are allowed to attack people and property and you never hear about what happens to them, there is no follow up. If they go to jail at all they will be let out after a few hours. The politicians protect them. This empowering of their craziness begins in the schools where they are indoctrinated in their various leftist studies classes. Their Marxist professors get them all riled up them teach them the methods of disruption and protest. Our money goes to these schools, public money should not go to these destructive courses. Hope Trump does away with this.

She was looking for some free publicity and got it. Now she doesn’t like it. Needs to think through things.

80 years ago they were writing names and symbols on shop windows to keep others from patronizing the pariahs, then they smashed the glass.
