MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Two days have passed since the private fundraiser held for Donald Trump at the Minneapolis Convention Center and stories are still trickling in about the events of the night.
As Alpha News reported, Donald Trump never made a public appearance in Minneapolis but showed up to a quiet and private event at the Minneapolis Convention Center on Friday night. However, that did not stop protesters from showing up by the dozens to show their displeasure with the Republican-endorsed candidate.
Trump supporters and donors were met with verbal and physical violence as they tried to enter and exit the private event.
Matt Erickson, a former CD2 Congressional Candidate, was physically attacked at the event. In an interview with Alpha News, Erickson said that he was physically assaulted by a group of anti-Trump protesters while he tried to defend a female Trump supporter.
Erickson states that “his phone was stolen from him and another protester sucker punched Matt in the back of the head.” He was later trapped against a building as he was attacked by four protesters.

Somebody is going to shoot one of there RAT thugs, and guess who the MSM will blame?
This is what keeps the hatefest going
It’s Marxist Minneapolis, you know. Expecting the Chief of Police to order his men to do anything that would offend the BLM and other racist/communist groups? Not a chance.
The Trump supporters who were attacked should fine multi-million dollar lawsuits against the Mayor, City Council, and Police Chief/Dept. for failing to protect them despite warnings that the reds and blacks were going to threaten them.
Also, any attacker identified in the videos and stills should be identified and where possible, sued for their violence. It’s not hard to do if you have a coupe good private investigators on the job, esp. if the City Prosecutor and the Police cannot or will not track down the scums.
Also, sane people should try to get a law passed that no one can wear an identify covering mask, helmet, or anything else when protesting. Then see who would sponsor the bill and who would not, and who would vote against it, or for tabling it.
Would make good election fodder for conservative candidates.
It’s Minnesota. Left wing la la land. Full of imbeciles.
You blamed the victims.
And also: you just told them that they shouldn’t have the temerity to attend political events.
Good post - So True - We have to understand what is compelling the enemy. True evil...People have become so secular they can’t recognize this fact.
Remember the thugs in Chicago that shut down a Trump rally. The media and Cruz blamed Trump. Never ending intimidation.
Leftist logic: “It’s their fault! They wouldn’t have gotten hurt if Trump didn’t come here.”
Those being attacked were not equipped to properly defend themselves - if they had, it would be front page news all over the world....
Minnesota is a dem controlled state.
The police chief deserves to go to jail.
double standard? you betcha.
disgusting and makes me think so poorly of dems and some cops.
Yes. Good points. I agree.
My observation of the hate feast is what keeps it going?
Is this an “observation” in which case you have a ready answer, or a “question” in which case you don’t?
If something exists, an observation and acknowledgement of it, does not cause it to exist.
My description of Mt. Rushmore does not cause it to exist or expand.
It’s merely an observation of tangible fact.
Hatred of the people who have those traits is out there. I did not create it.
What are you talking about? You are acting as though there were a litany of things you are assuming I said, that I never did say. However, God may be saying it to you.
If you don’t wish to own up to the argument you were trying to make, that’s okay with me.
Apply that to yourself, mutando mutandis.
I would if it was warranted.
I did not make arguments and then state that I hadn’t.
S’excuse s’accuse applies to you all right. When one of your fingers points, four point back to you.
Except, of course, that you did.
