American Freedom Defense Initiative President Pamela Geller took to two morning news programs Monday to defend a cartoon contest and art exhibit held for depictions of the Prophet Muhammad as being held in defense of free speech, but outspoken real estate mogul Donald Trump said it looked to him like "she's just taunting everybody."

BTW I don't agree with him on this.
Of course that was a taunt.
Did you read somewhere that taunting and free speech can’t occur at the same time?
How did Trump taunt BLM, white college punks, and La Raza?
I think Trump is personality driven. His opinion of individuals overrides what little ideological foundation he has. In this case, he doesn’t like Pamela Geller, so her event was bad in his view. Months later, however, he turns around and (correctly) calls for a halt to Muslim immigration.
He owes her an apology, she could actually be a good advocate for him.
What good would have come out of the contest?
What good would have come out of the contest?
It was to show Islamists that we do not bow down to their demands about not insulting their pedophile, murderous prophet....
And that is a GOOD thing.
If it taunts them I say....bring it on ya bunch of rag heads.
Good catch
That was how Trump’s brain was working
Deliberate provocation did not seem like a good thing to him
Far cry from being against free speech and to disagree with how someone else is expressing or testing it
Pathetically sad that Team Cruz insists on siding with the rioters instead of just this one putting down their emotional base hysteria and actting like adults.
But no problem. You will learn Tue just how stupid this spin attempt has been
"Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do I’ll defend you in court."
"See, in the good old days this didn’t use to happen, because they used to treat them very rough. We’ve become very weak."
"I'd like to punch him in the face," Trump said, remarking that a man disrupting his rally was escorted out with a smile on his face. "He's smiling, having a good time."
Trump Supporter Who Punched Protester: Next Time, We Might Have To Kill Him
She’s not running for President.
Trump was wrong about this. But there is no perfect candidate. Trump is right about a lot more than he is wrong. On balance, he is a good man.
Did the guy purposefully seek out the protester at another campaign rally, or did the protester came to Trump's rally for trouble?
Trump’s allowed to change his mind, evolve, clarify, and tell “jokes” about shooting people. Nobody else is, though. That’s just Donald being Donald.
Nice try to take the heat off of Lyin Ted who actually argued against the 1st amendment last night. Mr PC. Not much of a leader. He will soon be back in the senate reading Green Eggs And Ham. :-)
Sadly, the irony will be lost on Trumpanzees.
The video was played over and over by networks and social media, no doubt contributing to the Chicago protest & mini-riot.
Now we learn a hardworking Black Trump supporter has been murdered, found the next morning. ..next to anti-trump signs.
I believe Trump own antagonistic language has not been helpful.
Yes, I believe people have a right to defend themselves but that is not what the old man was doing.
So what? Are you suggesting that justifies cruz and the other political pansies siding with the likes of blm and isis? I will not post what I think of people like you, their is nothing you will sell out to protect your masters.
