Does anyone else wake up each day and feel like they are living in Bizzaro World? If you were a Seinfeld fan, you may remember the episode. It’s basically where everything is the complete and exact opposite of normal—up is down, down is up, etc. For many of us, that feeling hasn’t left since November 9, 2016, when Donald Trump lost the popular vote but somehow managed to slime his way into the presidency. And in today’s episode of Bizzaro World things have gone downright mad. Remember back when candidate Trump was inciting violence at his rallies, calling for his deplorable supporters to eject protestors, silence them and rough them up? Well now he’s claiming that those protestors had no right to protest at his rallies in the first place, as they supposedly infringed on his first amendment rights.
Lawyers for Trump’s campaign have argued that his calls to remove the protesters were protected by the First Amendment. But the federal district court judge hearing the case issued a ruling late last month questioning that argument, as well as the claim that Trump didn’t intend for his supporters to use force. [...]
Trump’s lawyers also argue that he had every right to call for the removal the protesters since they “obviously interfered with the Trump campaign’s First Amendment right” by “vigorously expressing their disdain for Mr. Trump,” including by chanting and holding up signs depicting Trump’s face on the body of a pig, among other anti-Trump messages.
“Of course, protesters have their own First Amendment right to express dissenting views, but they have no right to do so as part of the campaign rally of the political candidates they oppose,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.
What about the protesters’ rights to free speech? Last time we checked their rights are protected by the First Amendment as well—and let’s not forget that these rallies were held in public spaces. Let’s be totally clear: this all started because the signs with the piggies on them hurt poor little Donnie’s feelings. We all know he’s super thin skinned and can’t take any criticism. Donald Trump is a complete and total loser. This court filing is the most recent evidence, not that we needed more of it. Hopefully, he gets laughed right out of court. And then arrested and impeached for inciting violence as a presidential candidate. Let’s not forget how the deplorables took it upon themselves to spit in the faces of those protestors, shove them, punch them and beat them senseless. And then we can get started on the very long list of other crimes he should be locked up for. Then maybe we can get back to some semblance of normalcy.
