A resource for journalists and for shutting down your crazy uncle.
At an event in North Carolina, Trump was interrupted no fewer than 10 times by different protesters, many of whom shouted, “Black lives matter.” Trump responded by waving them off and dismissing their concerns, as boos rained down from his supporters.
“These are not people,” Trump said. “Just remember that.”
Trump instructed security to eject a Black Lives Matter protester from a campaign event in Birmingham, Alabama.
“Get him the hell out of here, will you please?” Trump asked. “Get him out of here. Throw him out!”
The protester was shoved by the police out of the venue and heckled by Trump supporters, who shouted, “Get the fuck out of here, man,” and “Tase him!”
Following the altercation, Trump went on Fox News and said:
Maybe [the protester] should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.

Comments like these add to the growing evidence that Donald Trump supports and condones violence against people with different ideas.

At a campaign rally in Birmingham, AL, Donald Trump was interrupted by a Black Lives Matter protester. Trump then told event security to ‘get him the hell out of here’ and then related to an incident earlier this week involving an obese man who heckled Trump at a Massachusetts rally.
