RIO RANCHO, N.M. (KRQE) – Protesters have gathered about 100 feet away from the arena where President Trump will be speaking Monday night.

The crowd has steadily grown in what’s been designated as the “Free Speech Zone” across the street from the entrance where Trump supporters are heading into the Sana Ana Star Center. So far, the protests have been peaceful, with people holding handmade anti-Trump signs.

There has been some arguing back and forth with Trump’s supporters and some chanting. People in this crowd believe Trump will not win over New Mexico.

“We’re all about love, we’re not about hate. We want to make sure we save the environment, asylum seekers have a place to go. That people are people and humans are humans and love is love,” protestor Rayellen Smith said.

Rayelen Smith says she personally paid for a Park and Ride bus to make two trips from a library in Rio Rancho to the event for protesters to get here safely.

Sounds like she should make President Trump a pottery bowl in her kiln.

“Protesting” what, exactly?

Still sore about Hillary losing?

This is the Enemedia. They cover 100 protestors over the thousands who show up to support a Republican and then opine that the Republican won’t win over their state.

Should 100 protestors show up to protest, say, Hillary or Obama, the protestors are either nowhere mentioned or buried at the end of the story. In no way is it concluded their way of thought might prevail on the general public.

I simply have utter contempt for those people. I can’t say a single positive thing about them.

She should volunteer to let MS-13 gang members stay in her house. See how virtue signaling is rewarded.

Holy crap, when did blotter acid and Quaaludes make a comeback?

Protesters have gathered
= = =

Normally that would imply two or more.

Unless ‘they’ identify as ‘they.’

Then it might imply one. Or less, if IQ is factored in.

Knew a friend who used that stuff back in the 80’s; he is long gone now and was only a couple years older than me.

When Ben Shapiro,Ann Coulter and others tried to speak at college campuses, demonstrators overturned cars, set fire to them, broke police car windows and stomped on the cars and hit them with hammers,shoved and punched people and screamed repeated hate filled rants all night. The themes were "Love Trumps Hate" and "we don't allow hate on this campus.

Courageous (/s) administrators banned all conservative speakers because "We care about the safety and security of our students first and foremost. These speakers have been known to attract violence and agitate people so we cannot let them speak here."

I’m watching Trump speak in NM on YouTube. We saw the thousands in the arena and he said there were 1,000s more outside.

And unlike the protestors none of the Trump supporters were paid to be there.

Paid protesters are in reality mercenaries.

They didn't even draw enough people to that protest to make a decent photo. It's why the sign covers 3/4 of it.

The sign could also be used as an example of "liberals can't meme." What the heck does "Trump hates green chile and the Constitution" even mean?

Used to see this all the time when I was in Austin. Thirteen or fourteen people show up for some stupid protest, and the TV station would spend ten minutes organizing them so they could get a shot that looked like a big crowd.

Call me crazy, but I don't consider allowing a situation to stay in place that allows criminal cartels to freely operate on both sides of the border and terrorizing communities on both sides of the border an act of love. I don't consider allowing deadly fentanyl and other drugs to continue free flowing across the border to be an act of love. I don't consider human trafficking to be an act of love.

And by the way...if you saw the rally, a huge portion of the crowd were in fact Latinos.

Whoever would give their daughter a stupid name like “Rayellen” must be on acid and Quaaludes themselves.

"...my wages have not went up..."

It's not Trump's fault that you're an idiot.

Well, only 2 of the protesters got into the arena.

But the President said, as he does whenever a protester makes it into the venue where he is speaking - that the media would make it seem like many protesters in his rally - when it was, he reminded us, only two.

He said of one of them = his mommy had to take him home...
