Protesters were forcibly removed by hotel security Friday at a Republican fundraiser in New York City where presidential candidate Donald Trump was delivering a luncheon keynote.
The fundraiser, held at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, was sponsored by Commonwealth Club to benefit the Republican State Committee of Pennsylvania.
The Associated Press reported that four protesters crashed the event chanting: “Trump is trying to bring us down, target people black and brown.”
Nine other people paid to attend the $1,000-a-plate luncheon and stood up to make loud statements during Trump’s speech, according to the report.
You can hear protesters chanting in this video taken by a reporter from The Patriot-News newspaper:
I do remember things like this when people interrupted Bush’s events. If you didn’t agree with his policies, you’d get thrown out.
Ok…back up for a moment. The PA Republican Party is calling in Trump to do a fund raiser for them??
And politico had the audacity to print this line in their story:
“Inside the room, where few members of the Pennsylvania’s Republican donor class count themselves Trump supporters,…”
I mean…WTF?? “Oh no, we don’t support him, so we invite him to speak at a fundraiser to more people that don’t support him will be willing to buy tickets to hear him speak?”
Next up. People Throwing their shoes at him (a HUGE sign of disrespect to a Muslim.)
Of course he has Secret Service protection now so it’s doubtful anyone will ever get close enough.
Why don’t these people who are being physically manhandled, thrown against a wall, thrown to the floor, etc. call a cop and submit a complaint of assault? It will likely never go anywhere, but it will create another aggravation for Trump and the GOP.
Did the protesters have a point to make?
