During a campaign rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania Tuesday night, just hours after House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment, President Donald Trump criticized an arena security guard for not being sufficiently rough while removing a woman who protested the event.
"Get her out. Get her out," Trump demanded as his supporters pointed and yelled at the demonstrator, who was wearing a #MeToo hat and holding a sign that read, "Grabbing Power Back."
"See, these guys want to be so politically correct," Trump said of the security guard attempting to escort the demonstrator out of the arena. "You see that? I'll tell you, law enforcement's so great. That particular guy wanted to be so politically correct."
Trump, who has a long history of urging his supporters and law enforcement to attack protesters, went on to mock the security guard for not putting his hands on the woman.

(3,433 posts)I came across original article in Feb of this year..shockingly cases of assault involking trump had doubled by September. Of course this does not include the ongoing abuse and violence against refugees at our border and the deaths of 6 children thus far under his charge.. Articles of impeachment is moot ignores the undeniable fact that we have a fascist in the WH who inflicts harm, encourages violence, if it does not include the facts of criminal cases of record--his hate propaganda will continue to encourage violence; fact that 6 children have died under his charge through his immigration policies,-- the harm to vulnerable children, women, men awaiting asylum will not stop.

WHY IS HE STILL HERE?
Why has not one national news paper or MSM outlet demanded his resignation?

(61,675 posts)rabid flunkies to go start fights at rallies for D candidates, and start riots. I'm afraid all of this is going to get much worse before getting better.

(90,189 posts)If you're with a group, especially as organizer, have very clear goals and plans. Plan for disruption and plan your response. Anyone can buy and wear an anti-Trump T-shirt -- but if they start throwing rocks and bottles, or screaming "kill the pigs", you have to assume they are not on our side.

(17,286 posts)There's a problem with inciting violence like this. Sometimes it backfires and you get punched in the face. Be a shame if that happened.
Respect to the woman. She has steel ovaries.
