Protesters Crash Trump Rally in Vermont
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump‘s campaign pre-screened people who attended his rally in Burlington, Vermont, on January 7 (video below).
To whittle down the crowd, rally-goers with tickets in hand who’d waited for hours in the cold were asked as they entered the venue whether or not they supported Trump.
Anyone who did not answer with some version of “yes” was not allowed inside.
Donald Trump told a group in Vermont on Thursday evening that there would be “no more gun-free zones” in a Trump presidency.
“Mr. Trump believes in the First Amendment, just as much as the Second”, the voice over the loudspeaker said.
“I don’t want to see my grandchildren with something like that”. I say appears because, as has been common practice for his campaign, Trump and his staff have declined to elaborate on what exactly the candidate is proposing. Trump seemed to grow more angry with each disruption.
In the morning, thousands of Vermonters gathered outside the Flynn Center, hoping for a chance to see Trump.
On guns, Trump blasted Obama’s new executive orders on private gun sales – a slam dunk issue in Vermont. Bernie! Bernie!” As about half a dozen protesters were walked out, Trump’s supporters responded “Trump! Its fantastic, right? Trump, in remarks lasting more than an hour, delivered many of his now-routine lines promising to build a great wall on the southern border and delivering so many victories that youre going to be bored of winning..
In one case, a handful of supporters towered over a young woman in a winter cap seated in the crowd and yelled, “Out! Out! And I was escorted out by the police”. Sometimes Trump didn’t stop talking as the outbursts quickly came and passed.
That money went straight into his own pocket, Dickson said, not to the Trump campaign. Probably just to prove that he has supporters all over the country, to lay claim to an actual fifty state strategy and, as I said, to poke a finger in Bernie Sanders’ eye.
Donald Trump speaks to the crowd at a town hall meeting December 12, 2015 in Aiken, South Carolina. “It would be a dream come true”. Instead, Trump continued to sign autographs for supporters, ignoring CNN’s questions. “If he wins the Republican nomination, we’ll have plenty of time to talk”, Mr. Clinton told reporters Thursday while stopping at a market in Cedar Rapids, where he tried various foods and spoke to customers. President Obama, he said, “doesn’t have a clue”. “They’re afraid to lose their jobs”. Bernie Sanders has a history of being opposed to new immigration.
“Well”, Rod Dion said.
“He likes being in his own bed, even if it means coming into Teterboro or LaGuardia after midnight”, he added, referring to two airports Trump uses in the NY area. “That is insane; I admit it. Yes”, he said. I will get rid of gun-free zones at schools, he said.
City officials called Thursday’s Donald Trump rally a success, but with no thanks to the Republican presidential candidate’s campaign staff. He is right about the stupidity of gun-free zones.
Perhaps. But if you parse his words very carefully, you may conclude that he is opposed to gun-free zones in schools, but only promises to make a change with respect to the idiocy of disarming our military personnel on their bases.
