Tonight's Drumpf rally was insane. And I have been to 22. I went with no agenda, except a shirt on which I had written, “love is the answer.” That said, I didn’t see a lot of love going around. Within the eighteen minutes that I was there, it looked to be about one ejection per minute— and a lot of hateful shouting in the process.
Around nine minutes in, I saw a blind woman and her partner Lowell Fleming chant, “No Trump, no KKK, no fasicst USA.” They were ejected.
At some point, they ejected a pregnant woman, Rhiannon Sloane Gallimore.
A white man in a cowboy hat then punched a black protester in the face. The black man got tackled by police, and they did absolutely nothing to the guy who threw the punch.
Drumpf complained about the press comparing his pledge to Hitler. Upon making these statements, many attendees eagerly raised their hands to pledge allegiance to Donald… So he did the pledge again— and then complained about being compared to nazis.
After about eighteen minutes, Drumpf began advocating for waterboarding. I called out, “but torture is torture.” Surely Donald realized that by advocating for war crimes that this makes him unfit to be Commander in Chief.
I repeated, “torture is torture. It’s illegal, like the wall.” I should’ve said, “legality does not equate to morality,” and then have brought up his favorite topic of the illegal immigration— but there was no time for articulation. As soon as I said it, one of Drumpf’s staff was grabbing me and pulling me. I told him to keep his hands off and identify himself. After all, he was not a uniformed police officer, and since this was the case, what he was doing was assault. Trump likes to make the case that at a private event, he can eject anyone he wants. What he can’t do is have his staff members assault people.
As I am being hauled out by police, Drumpf turns my statement of love into an inquiry into my love life. "Do you see what he's gotten written on his very dirty undershirt? You see? It says, 'love is the answer.' And in a certain way he's right. Love. Love is a great thing. 'Love is the answer,' he's got written there. I wonder who he makes love with there? Oh forget it.”
Finally I have gotten Donald to open his heart to the possibility of love… if in the creepiest way imaginable.
Outside the rally, things were very heated as well. Hundreds of protesters lined up against a wall of police, and a wall of Drumpf people on the other side… But that will have to wait for my second report. Gotta hit the road again!
UPDATE!!
Trump supporter who punched protester Jones now in custody.
Full video of police response to come.
