Trump: Chicago protesters can be traced back to Sanders

[alp227]

Source: The Hill

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday blamed Bernie Sanders supporters for the massive protests that forced him to cancel a campaign rally in Chicago the night before.

Trump said his supporters at the rally "caused no problem."

"They were taunted, they were harassed by these other people — by the way, some represented Bernie, our communist friend," Trump said, drawing loud boos from the Dayton, Ohio, crowd.

"With Bernie, he should really get up and say to his people, 'stop, stop.' Not me."

1. Oh dear, TheRump used the C-word

"communist friend"

That's two lies in one two-word phrase.

[Ahpook]

31. Figures he would pull out that card

That word gets his flock frothing at the mouth.

[LiberalArkie]

2. i have been expecting this. It is only natural to blame the "Communist"

[Archae]

3. Just like his "thousands" of Arabs in New Jersey on 9-11...

It'll be a "media conspiracy" not to have any evidence, naturally.

And calling Bernie Sanders a "communist?"

[Nolacs22]

65. McCarthyism

In America right now it feels like we are regressing back to "McCarthyism"and the civil rights era, where I thought, felt like, we had made progress, am I mistaken? It sure feels like it. Everything we went through as a Nation and we learned nothing? Bernie a communist? No way! They obviously don't know the full meaning of the tag. Well, we know for sure what tRump is and isn't, he is, a racist and a fascist and he is not suitable for any political office, especially the Whitehouse!

[houston16revival]

4. that piece of scum

is a nut

[SheenaR]

5. If there is one thing that the Sanders campaign has shown

is that when a lie or an exaggeration is out there, they attack it before it spreads and/or they use it as part of speeches/ads and fundraising calls. There isn't a Sanders supporter out there who will leave because Trump says this. It's imperative that undecideds who get their news from sound bites get informed that violence is something Sanders abhors.

[Locrian]

49. yes - trump is sadly mistaken

Sanders (and supporters) do not run. Unlike trump.

Bring it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Surprisingly, Drumpfeuhrer is not listening to Republicans like Cruz

Cruz says TheRump is to blame for the violence at Trump's rallies:

[Ferd Berfel]

12. Drumpfeuhrer ?!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Perhaps more properly DrumpFührer

During his senior year, Trump participated in marching drills and wore a uniform, attaining the rank of captain.[32] In 2015, he told a biographer that NYMA gave him "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military."[33]

36. Class act this one

[NCjack]

43. Very pretty. But, can he fight? (We will never know.) /nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. He's an entertainer. He can play act fighting McMahon in wrestling. nt

[Arkana]

7. Go to hell, Trump.

[Gregorian]

8. Trump is a loser. He has an inferiority complex.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Yup. Secure people don't have to talk about the size of their genitalia on national TV. . . nt

[dchill]

14. We don't even get a chance!

[MurrayDelph]

52. That's not a complex

He really is an inferior person.

[Helen Borg]

9. So, the anti-fascists were the problem?

[Ferd Berfel]

13. Same thing probably happend in the Beer Halls back in the day

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Beer Hall Putsch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch

Hitler remained in the army, in Munich, after World War I. He participated in various "national thinking" courses. These had been organized by the Education and Propaganda Department of the Bavarian Reichswehr, under Captain Karl Mayr,[8] of which Hitler became an agent. Captain Mayr ordered Hitler, then an army lance corporal, to infiltrate the tiny Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated DAP (German Workers' Party).[9] Hitler joined the DAP on 12 September 1919.[10] He soon realized that he was in agreement with many of the underlying tenets of the DAP, and he rose to its top post in the ensuing chaotic political atmosphere of postwar Munich.[11] By agreement, Hitler assumed the political leadership of a number of Bavarian "patriotic associations" (revanchist), called the Kampfbund.[12] This political base extended to include about 15,000 brawlers, most of whom were ex-soldiers.

[Ferd Berfel]

26. yep

and der DrumpFührer is starting to raise his own army - wonder if their shirts will be brown?

[OwlinAZ]

46. Nothing to joke about.

Thanks to the GOP and corporate media, blood will be probably be spilled.

[Ferd Berfel]

54. What makes you think I was joking

about the brown shirts?

[catnhatnh]

10. We're up to a 9 out of a possible 10...

Has he the balls to complain about the "Jewish problem"???

[Uglystick]

27. Try swapping Jewish for Muslim

and you got it.

[Ferd Berfel]

29. ya know it commin

all of the DrumpFührer supporters I know are racist AND antisemitic

[Ccarmona]

15. The Next Time Trump

Admits that ANYTHING is his fault, will be the first.

[AzDar]

16. Last night, it was Obama, The Socialist Muslim's fault... today, It's Bernie, The Communist.

Reap The Whirlwind, Trumpster...

[bluestateguy]

18. That's a crock of horseshit.

nt

[xloadiex]

19. It would be nice if MSNBC

Didn't help him spread this bullshit. Their front page how Sanders supporters shut down the rally. Has Bernie commented?

[SoapBox]

57. CBS / CBS Radio...

KNX1070 in Los Angeles, a traffic "on the 5's" and CBS Radio Network channel has done nothing but promote Rump for months...it's all Rump, all the time.

They were almost pulling a Tweety "sad" over that Chicago mess...it was SO sad that Rump's awesome rally of 5000 (thought the announcer was gonna have an orgasm because he thought it was this huge number). They were starting by blaming BLM and just the way it is in Chicago to block streets whenever anyone wanted to protest. It was several hours later that the story seemed to morph and Bernie was to blame.

[GoldenMean]

20. The revolution will be televised

The ground fire has ignited
Trump Out of KC! facebook has sprung out of the ground
Battle plans are being mapped out
The Westboro Baptists are coming
Feel the fucking Bern
Represent

[starroute]

35. Wow! I wasn't aware of the Kansas City stuff

Here's a story from the Kansas City Star: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/the-buzz/article65618047.html

Here's the Trump Out of KC! Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/973629326057094/

Shit scheduled to hit the fan at 5:30 central time. Looks like more fun and games in the offing.

The fascist clown Donald Trump is coming to our city this Saturday. It is our job and our duty to unite to #ShutItDown. If you think this clown should not be President. If you think this clown's positions on Muslims, Mexicans, women, workers and others is deplorable, then make it known and join us this Saturday!

Doors open at 4 p.m. And the protest begins at 5:30 pm Saturday afternoon at the Midland. Trump tickets are available online at

https://donaldjtrump.com/schedule

We will have an outside rally across the street. Look for the red banner that says "Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win".

Everyone's seen the videos. There is a threat risk here so please be aware and take the necessary precautions. We plan for a counter-demonstration outside the venue, as well as doing what we can to crash the fascist-fest on the inside.

[LiberalElite]

70. The cops doused them with pepper spray - this was posted in the Sanders group

21. As MoveOn said, Donald Trump: "Welcome to the General Election!"

[Jack Rabbit]

22. May I address Mr. Trump, channeling Congressman Joe Wilson (R-Georgia)?

YOU LIE!!

[Wibly]

23. I was worried about this

When I was watching the video of events in Chicago last night and the camera panned to a small group of Bernie supporters who were chanting Bernies name I got worried.
I knew right away the DNC and the Hillary campaign could, and probably would, use this small group of people in an attempt to smear Sanders.
Fact is, just because there were some Sanders people involved in the protest does not mean Sanders encouraged or orchestrated the demo. Same for the fact there were also Clinton and Cruz supporters involved.
That protest was a direct response to the violence against protestors, and innocent bystanders, at Trump rallies. Fact is, if you hit someone long enough, they are going to eventually hit you back.
That is what is happening to Trump. He's been swinging and lashing and hitting, now its coming back to him.

[questionseverything]

32. of course bernie was not involved but

i feel zero shame that his supporters shut trump down

in fact i am kind of proud of my home state, illinois right now

trump is a con artist, if he wants to hold "public"events , he had better realize the "public" aint buying his bridge

[hedda_foil]

67. Oh for God's sake, the protesters were of all stripes, nowhere near mostly Bernie supporters.

[questionseverything]

69. the bernie chanting i heard was loud

but whatever you think

for sure they were part of the 99

[hedda_foil]

71. Of COURSE there were Bernie supporters chanting his name. They were a subset.

I never said or implied that there wasn't. But the protesters were of many different groups, and inside the hall, they were predominantly college students. There were at least 10,000 protesters outside.

[JoeyT]

74. As a Sanders supporter, I kind of wish it were mostly Bernie supporters.

Turns out Trump only encourages and eggs on violence when he's got odds of several thousand to one. Reduce it to twenty to one or so and he panics and flees. Such courage!

[geomon666]

24. Attack what you fear the most

[asiliveandbreathe]

28. KC doesn't want trump -

Anti-Trump group is already vowing to “shut it down”

http://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/politics-government/article65623327.html

This how we win! - Protest vigorously - and peacefully - makes no sense giving the blusterer in chief fuel for hate!!!!

[Person 2713]

59. He shouldn't feel ciomfortable with his hate talk anywhere in this country

The story from now on should be what place allowed him come to their town with his hate speech and didn't protest it!
ACLU has come out reaffirming the protestors' rights

[dchill]

30. This is GREAT!

He's pivoting from Hillary to Bernie. He perceives a bigger threat!

[Chasstev365]

33. It's Not Only Hillary who is growing afraid of the Sanders Campaign:

I think the "ruling class" is becoming afraid that there ownership of the government is in serious jeopardy! GO BERNIE!

[Marthe48]

34. Not funny

that trump turns his own crowd violence over onto another candidate. I am not seeing vioent incident one after another, except at trump's rallies. Just violence for violence sake. Where are all these anti-social thugs coming from?
Also not funny that trump says 'it was a planned attack that came out of nowhere'. Planned or spontaneous, can't have both.

[underpants]

37. Pure Projection - his followers will do anything he says so Bernie's must too

The event today stinks of being staged.

[silvershadow]

38. There it is. As we have been saying. Now they have shifted the meme. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

39. I'm voting Clinton but that is about just the dumbest load of bullshit I've heard yet.

Bernie Sanders isn't going around encouraging people to fight at rallies or claiming that violence can be excused because these people are "very passionate" and "love their country."

You are, Donald.

Shut the fuck up, Donnie. You're out of your element.

[Trust Buster]

40. I don't think we have enough information to draw an opinion on last night's riot.

.

[hedda_foil]

68. Are you nuts? There was nothing even approaching rioting. Nothing!

[Bad Dog]

41. This reminded me of the Battle of Cable Street.

The Battle of Cable Street took place on Sunday 4 October 1936 in Cable Street in the East End of London. It was a clash between the Metropolitan Police, overseeing a march by members of the British Union of Fascists, led by Oswald Mosley, and various anti-fascist demonstrators, including local Jewish, socialist, anarchist and communist groups. The majority of both marchers and counter-protesters travelled into the area for this purpose. Mosley planned to send thousands of marchers dressed in uniforms styled on those of Blackshirts through the East End, which then had a large Jewish population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street

Now there's a plaque commemorating the anti fascists.

[world wide wally]

42. What's the problem, Donald? Aren't the people protesting you being politically correct?

[NCjack]

44. Traced back to Sanders? This tracing job, was it done by the same crack Trump

team of agents that investigated Pres. Obama's birth records in HI? (We're still waiting on the birth report!)

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

72. After he's done tracing he can color it in with his crayons.

[jwirr]

47. Most youth can be traced back to Bernie. That does not mean

that Bernie in any way had a part in this.

He Trumpy - are you involved when your supporters act out on your behalf.

Can't have it both ways.

[randr]

48. Not the first time Trump is wrong

Those people were real Americans

[Enrique]

50. Communists!

the same people that burned down the Reichstag!

[MFM008]

51. Im not a Sanders supporter

but its more Trump LIES.

[Skwmom]

53. He said some were Bernie supporters, some were Hillary supporters. I listened to the rally today.

Though I'm sure the establishment RNC was also involved.

[restorefreedom]

61. "Though I'm sure the establishment RNC was also involved."

THAT should be the real headline, imo

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

73. I also heard BLM was involved - good for them!

But that proves it wasn't all Sanders supporters, because we all know that black people would never vote for him.

[Android3.14]

55. I'm betting this is a good development for Sanders

Trump and his brownshirts are going to face Bernie in the general, and they will lose.

[Kalidurga]

56. Sadly Trump is wrong.

I would be happy to support team Bernie if they had coordinated this and were the majority of protesters. But, I read several posts that it just isn't so, there was a small section though of people shouting Bernie Bernie Bernie, about 25. My guess is the rest were at the other rally.

[Nolacs22]

58. WAR III

This is yet, another perfect example of why tRump (intentional grammar) should be disqualified as a candidate, I can not imagine (but have to) what would happen to the U.S.A (the world) if this man was to become president. This billionaire reality TV bumpkin would have our country in a war within a year. It would become the middle eastern America. Anarchy across the states. Every American should know what kind of character/personality in the past has brought on massive war and death, and who was culpable for it ( Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini ). How do you wake up a complacent, uneducated country that now, only follows, and doesn't know how to lead anymore?
If they can't plainly see what tRump really is, it has to be because they don't want to lead with the good, and have decided to stick with their tunnel vision, make-believe fantasy view of America. tRump is not going to bully his way around the world and make things all better like a bo-bo on their knee. In light of tRump's success, I can only think that the majority of Americans are either ignorant, uneducated or both. Maybe they just don't care what happens? He even speaks of his followers in a patriarchal sense, like HIS brats couldn't possibly have instigated a fight or caused a problem, probably similar to the way he raised his own kids. tRump the great, the greatest president ever, the greatest father ever, but more like the greatest con-man ever.

[Person 2713]

60. Good post

[Nolacs22]

62. Thank you

I'm new here and quite glad to have found a place to ask and read about this crazy as hell election. I'm over 60 years old and I have never seen an election quite like this one, believe me when I say never.

[NobodyHere]

63. The protesters did shout Bernie several times during their protest.

[fbc]

64. I'm proud that Bernie gets more protesters at a Trump event

than Hillary gets supporters at a campaign event.

[olddad56]

66. This nation can ill afford another narcissistic madman for president...

we are still paying for the damage caused by GWB.
