Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Saturday that people from “Bernie’s crowd” — referring to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — are the ones protesting his campaign events, Politico reported.

Trump’s comments came after he had to cancel a campaign rally in Chicago when hordes of protesters showed up.

“Bernie was saying, ‘Mr. Trump should speak to his crowd.’ You know where they come from? Bernie’s crowd,” Trump said, Politico reported.

Trump said “Bernie’s people” were interrupting his rallies.

“It just makes all of our friends more angry. We’re going to go to the polls on Tuesday and we’re going to be resounding victory,” Trump said.

  1. They are mostly Bernie fans but so what. They have first amendment rights too.

    Maybe the protesters are working for Trump. You know, sent in to stir up trouble and arouse his supporters’ emotions even more. Wouldn’t be the first time a fanatic demagogue has done that.

  3. No. Last night there was a concerted effort by various organizations to have a mass protest against Trump @ UIC. I knew people there, and they were definitely not Trump fans. They did not want Trump´s racism around the campus, and around Chicago. Their plan was to overwhelmingly infiltrate the arena so that no matter how many people they removed, they could shut him down. The plan worked, and it yuuge and beautiful.

  4. By “Bernie’s crowd”, he means da Juice (not in any o.j. way).

    Am Ende, Trump ist Drumpf = und die Drumpfs sind aus Rheinland-Pfalz.
