BEDFORD, N.H. — A Baptist pastor said he was forced to remove a “Black Lives Matter” T-shirt he was wearing Thursday at a Donald Trump campaign rally in New Hampshire.

Mark Ferrin, a 65-year-old pastor from Keene, told BuzzFeed News security officers pulled him aside and ordered him to remove the Black Lives Matter shirt he was wearing after he entered the venue.

Ferrin said it wasn’t the first time it has happened to him. He wore the same shirt, covered up by another, to a Trump rally in his own town last year. When Trump began speaking about racial issues, Ferrin removed the plain shirt to reveal the Black Lives Matter one.

“Within a minute,” a couple of people from Trump’s security team told him to either put the plain shirt back on or he’d be kicked out, he said.

5. Slaps head

I guess the Dumpster doesn't realize a public political speech doesn't count as a "private event." A Baptist pastor no less, one of the most Conservative. He's being doing this for over a year, exactly where are the "journalists" covering this maniac? religions in the country.

Oy.
