Donald Trump: Mizzou Protests are 'Disgusting'

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-mizzou-protests-are-disgraceful-n462186

The two frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination criticized protests at the University of Missouri Thursday, arguing that the university administrators who resigned in the wake of racially-charged incidents may have set a harmful precedent by acquiescing to students' demands.

"I think it's disgusting," Donald Trump said in an interview on Fox Business Network....

Republican candidate Ben Carson also said Thursday that students at the school were giving in to "infantile behavior."

"We're being a little bit too tolerant, I guess you might say, accepting infantile behavior. I don't care which side it comes from. To say that I have the right to violate your civil rights because you're offending me is un-American," he said on FOX News' The Kelly File.


Dear NBC: Edit out "Mizzou Protests are" from the headline. There. I fixed it for you.

Which is the tip-off that someone feels his privilege is being threatened.

Does anyone else hear "uppity" sotto voce behind "disgusting" and "infantile"?

screw over the white, rich minority in power. THAT is exactly what the Donald doesn't like. It scares the piss out of him. Good.
