Country Clubs are already private with pro-security. Why doesn’t DT speak at his own clubs?

>>>agree the protesters are interfering with his free speech rights. But Trump complaining about profanity? Give it a rest<<<

Seriously? Kind of like comparing a Firecracker to a Hand Grenade my FRiend.

that absolutely needs to start happening again. I do not know what is wrong with people, everyone seems to have gotten so complacent. Willing to just sit back and be helpless Observers. Only the radical leftist empowered by their leftist Academia and big money Community organizer backers are out there shaking the roof

Sad that Ted Cruz and others haven’t said what Trump has said about the protestors.

William F. Buckley called the Lefties who tried to disrupt the Democrats convention in Chicago in 1968 ‘crypto-fascists’.

The people disrupting Trump’s rallies are 21st Century brownshirts.

They belong in places like Venezuela where gov’t thugs have a history of intimidating opponents off the streets.

I don’t think that law means what you think it means. By this reasoning, they’d be able to shut down pro-life protesters who protest outside of abortion clinics.

“The First Amendment, and all of the Amendments, only constrain government.”

In 1964, the Klan and others were charged with civil rights violations in the Mississippi civil rights workers’ murder.

Mississippi civil rights workers’ murders

“Because Mississippi officials refused to prosecute the killers for murder, a state crime, the federal government, led by prosecutor John Doar, charged 18 individuals under 18 U.S.C. §242 and §371 with conspiring to deprive the three activists of their civil rights (by murder)...”

Apples and Oranges. Pro-Life is not suppressing the rights of the Death dealers with force violence and obstruction. The Professional Marxist Disruptors are actively interfering/blocking the rights of others,

Lewandowski came under fire earlier this month after he allegedly assaulted Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields after a press conference in Florida. Trump’s campaign denies her claims.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thats the sucker punch right there in the article.

Fields was taken down by a Secret Service Agent who resembled Lewandowski. Fields approached Trump from behind leading with a pen in her hand , just like an assassin would have done. Everybody, including Trump detractors, know this is a fact.

Sorry Donald but no.

The First Amendment has to do with Gub'ment...

Unless the protestors are Gub'ment employees or contractors then they are not violating your First Amendment Rights.

"Yes, but Trumps civil rights were violated. I smell a law suit coming and its going to be YUGE!"

Yes, but calling it a violation of his First Amendment Rights is why our Gub'ment is so screwed up. No one knows what is in The Constitution anymore.

Candidates for POTUS routinely spout nonsense like they will "balance the budget" or "cut spending" or "Repeal Obamacare". when in fact all they will do is either sign bills handed to them by Congress or veto them OR ignore them (pocket veto)

The President can propose such, but Congress does the deed. And if Congress don't do it all the POTUS can do is whine about it.

It is time for Candidates and people who work in the Gub'ment to stop saying bullschitt and speaking the truth.

And BTW I voted for Trump here in Ohio and I pray he wins the nom. But I am tired of people who are running for office talking like they have no clue how the Constitution works.

Be patient FRiend. Trump is using the demoncrat lefts own language against them. Without any hesitation either.
Mr Trump is extraordinarily cagey. We are just getting to know just how skillful he really is.

Wow. Talk about refreshing!

A man running for office w/ the testicular fortitude to point out the hypocrisy.

I would love to see him come out this week w/ RICO/class action against the same.

Make the Left live up to the LAW and watch the meltdown.

A Trump administration is going to crack down hard on these types of Soros agitators and operatives.

That will be a very good thing to see...and long past time.

Well, that’s the same argument they could make; the law is colorblind.

This is why I routinely oppose the expansion of federal power, because while we may trust a particular person to not misuse it (Bush), the next one may be horrible with it (President Sanders. Ugh.)

Quit wasting bandwidth complaining about how crude Trump has been. It is the protestors who are the enemy.

The girl behind him and with him had the Klan hood. He was holding a sign calling Trump a racist. He deserved to get his ass kicked. (The Black guy did not want to hit a girl) The guy hitting the protestor should also get a medal. It was only misdemeanor assault - who f’ing cares!

Thanks for the reply.

#1. No one at an abortion center has Secret Service protection.

#2, You have covered it. Also abortion protesters are not going into the abortion center and preventing them from doing their thing.

I care, and the fact that you don’t just reinforces the impression that the Trump Movement has been infiltrated by the anarchist movement. The fact that the thug in the crowd was offended by the demonstrator does not matter, people do NOT have a right to not be offended. Is that not what we have been screaming when the lefties start whining about how everything offends them? Are the rules different just because it’s Trump?

This was a chickens!t assault trying to hide behind politically correct sensitivities.
