Donald Trump threatens to send supporters to disrupt Bernie Sanders’ events

[Bayard]

Source: Raw Story

“Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren’t told to go to my events,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!”

1. Oh well. Freedom of speech/assembly and all that.

[Ivan Kaputski]

14. They will be wearing brown shirts at Hillary's events in the GE.

[Kalidurga]

2. They are welcome to attend...

[Cavallo]

41. Wow. That is a good point.

Hopefully they'll learn something.

[Kalidurga]

54. Yes they might learn they get more free speech than they bargained for.

Because I will be all like WHY WHY WHY do you want to build a fence. WHY WHY WHY do you demonize people that you do not know? WHY WHY WHY do you back a raging racist?

[underpants]

3. Bernie didn't send his supporters they have the ability to make up their own minds

and make adult decisions.

[Le Taz Hot]

4. This is a foreign concept

to The Donald's sycophants.

[downeastdaniel]

5. yep.

[Cobalt Violet]

28. Just like Mexico doesn't "send it's people".

Guess he doesn't think people have a free will.

[underpants]

37. Geesh talk about jumping over the root cause

Just like no one (except one woman in N. Hampshire) has asked Trump HOW he's going to do all these things the immigration issue completely dodges the WHY. Why are they coming here? Jobs is the WHAT but the WHY is they are often recruited. Recruited by word of mouth from those already here or openly recruited in newspapers. WHERE are the jobs? Agriculture (meat and veggies and seafood), construction, the service industries. Those industries completely rely on cheap, hardworking labor, totally at their bosses will (often paying for the supervisor's silence) who wouldn't even think about organizing. All the talk about doing anything should include the phrase "...if ________ allows it" the space is filled in with the name of the industry or specific corporations like Tyson's ConAgra Marriott Hilton etc.

I'm agreeing with you.

[w0nderer]

51. are you part of the 0.1% no ? then free what?

you think you have this...free....free....will???
(and i keep remembering the father in the twisted sister videos here)

shut up and work, "Arbeit macht frei"



but scarily true to his attitude

[PatrynXX]

6. Sheriff of one of the most violent citiies in the USA Milwaukeee

asks why don't we arrest the protesters first (oh well clearly you don't know much about riot control seeing how bad your city is ) I'm just waiitng for a mass shooting at one of these events

[sorefeet]

7. I was thinking the same thing

before it is all over there will be a shooting. It's the norm in America. How many of those wing nuts are carrying a gun to his campaign rallies.

[navarth]

22. It wouldn't be inside the building, they are using metal detectors.

Something bad could happen outside though.

[Cavallo]

43. Yep, one of the politicized extreme right will convince themself that they are

saving America from socialism. I hope it doesn't happen. Nobody deserves to get hurt including Bernie.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Have at it

Nothing more amusing than shining a bright spotlight
on semi-articulate Trump supporters flinging their poo everywhere

[awake]

9. To any Trump supporter come to a Bernie rally you will learn something

Many of the concerns expressed by a Trump voters are shared by Bernie voters not the racism but the mistrust of how corporate corruption has taken over our government and how trade deals are screwing workers. Trump is turning the anger of the middle class against others increasing hate while Bernie see the same anger but instead of hate he is giving hope by showing real answers to our problems and asking us all join together to make change happen. So I say "come on in the water is fine"

[840high]

34. yep

[Botany]

10. IOW

Trump will ramp up the violence.

[Cavallo]

44. Yep. He has been doing that since he announed his presidency

A fascist from the first paragraph.

History will show it. We must not let this man get elected. It will mean uniting under who even wins the Democratic Primaries.

I don't know if enough people will do that if Hillary wins though. I suspect they wont. So many people are not taking Trump at his word. They act like he's only playing to the cameras. I believe him.

[SC Tarheel]

11. Make Sure

That they have their Confederate Flag and wear swastikas. Wouldn't want them to go unarmed.

[Cavallo]

45. Yep, wearing a confederate flag and telling everyone how they are "saving" America.

I used to think they wanted to get back to the 1950's. Now I realize it's the 1850's.

[Ivan Kaputski]

12. I'm sure they will plenty to do at Hillary's events should she win the primary.

[w0nderer]

13. When it comes to Trump supporters, the suggestion is the order

He doesn't have to say 'go disrupt'
all he has to say is 'maybe we should go disrupt'
that way he's got plausible deniability: "what? ...me yeronner? no i never said 'to go disrupt', i merely speculated in the potential of a hypothetical situation and of the possibility of indulging in such an action and what might occur."

see how nicely one can weasel out of it

[sofa king]

17. "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

You are so frighteningly, frighteningly correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Becket

[w0nderer]

39. Pretty much the case i had in mind

tried to sanitize my 'reference' nice catch :-p

and yes, i have a history of being frighteningly correct :-/

[Cavallo]

47. + 10000

[sofa king]

15. I hope they'll wear their brown shirts...

... so we can recognize them for who they are.

[GoldenMean]

16. One Corinthian

Walked into a Bernie rally and said "Though I speak with the tongues of men, but not have love, I have become a clanging cymbal. Love does not behave rudely, is not provoked, thinks no evil. Love bears all things , believes all things, hopes all things. Love never fails.'

Love trumps hate

[raging moderate]

61. Amen, Brother. Agape plus Flower Power!

Perhaps this could be where St. Paul meets Pete Seegar?
Peace and Love in action.

[Lorien]

18. Note that Hillary isn't condemning Trump for stoking violence and hate,

she's drawing a false equivalency between Bernie's supporters and Trump's, thus painting her campaign as the "moderate" and "safe" one. It's all starting to seem a bit scripted...

[Cobalt Violet]

29. well that's a way to get votes from bernie supporters should she win.

She seems to do everything wrong. But yeah it's not cool at all she hasn't spoke out. She can't lead; only follow.

[Bayard]

46. She was actually quoted denouncing the violence yesterday on MSNBC

What was interesting, is they only read a quote from Hillary. But first, they showed a clip of Bernie talking about it with a line of young African American gentlemen standing behind him.

[creeksneakers2]

49. Hillary condemned Trump

"The ugly, divisive rhetoric we are hearing from Donald Trump and the encouragement of violence and aggression is wrong, and it’s dangerous,” Mrs. Clinton told supporters Saturday morning at the O’Fallon Park recreation complex here. “If you play with matches, you’re going to start a fire you can’t control. That’s not leadership. That’s political arson.”

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/03/12/hillary-clinton-on-trump-rallies-thats-political-arson/

Calling for peace is not drawing a false equivalency between Bernie's supporters and Trump's.

“The divisive rhetoric we are seeing should be of grave concern to us all,” Clinton said in the statement issued after midnight on Saturday morning. “We all have our differences, and we know many people across the country feel angry.”
“We need to address that anger together"

[LannyDeVaney]

56. Please don't present facts and quotes ...

Let them have their tartar sauce.

[LannyDeVaney]

55. What? You are wrong.

And honestly, a bit paranoid.

[lamp_shade]

19. It seems only fair to me.

[potone]

25. Are you kidding?

Bernie does not encourage violence on the part of his supporters; Trump does. Do you truly not see the difference? In addition, the news reports I read stated that the violence only happened in Chicago after he cancelled the event. There had been at least one attack on one protester by one of his supporters at a previous event; and after what happened in Kansas City, more violence seems likely.

[Cobalt Violet]

30. It's disgusting she hasn't spoke out against this already.

Must be consulting a focus group 1st or checking with an adviser. do you really think this won't happen to her for no reason too?

[snort]

31. Ugh. Ignored.

[Z_California]

32. The enemy of your enemy is your friend I suppose

[lark]

20. They already are going to Sanders rallys

They just can't get the oxygen to ignite the fire. Now, if really hard core thugs start going to Bernie's rallys, Trump will be held accountable. He's the problem, he fosters the hate, he's the Hitler in the crowd who will endanger our democracy if allowed to win.

[mitty14u2]

21. WOW: Donald Trump Threatens Bernie Sanders With Rally Retaliation!

“Be careful.” He’s used that threat before.

Donald Trump is not calling for peace. He is not urging restraint. He never has. Instead he has instructed his followers to attack dissent with fists and told them he will pay their legal fees. And now he is escalating further, threatening to send his army to Bernie rallies in retaliation for the disruptions at his own.

http://www.redstate.com/absentee/2016/03/13/wow-donald-trump-threatens-bernie-sanders-rally-retaliation/

You better triple the police when they get to California and New York, Riots are inevitable. Now you know why every large police force has militarized it equipment and weapons!

[MisterP]

23. fine, we'll set up a table for them

[olddad56]

24. No, he is telling the truth when he says that he isn't sending them.

They might support Bernie, but he isn't sending them.

[Helen Borg]

26. Bernie has tackled bullies much more substantial than Trump

During his lifetime...

[noretreatnosurrender]

27. Some Trump Supporters Will Show Up

I hope when they come, and they will come, that he invites them up to the microphone and has a dialogue with them.

[Wibly]

33. They're chicken

Trump supporters would not do that. They need to out number the people they protest against. They wouldn't be able to punch folks because the cops wouldn't be there to hold the arms of the people they were wanting to punch. No chance its going to happen.

[Enrique]

48. you nailed it

you are absolutely right, imho. I'm trying to imagine what it would look like if Trump supporters actually carried this out, and I can't, because of the reasons you give.

[awoke_in_2003]

35. Go ahead

Like the rallies of everyone, except Trump's, they will be escorted out without violence.

[TeamPooka]

36. Attend and be converted. Trump voters you have been warned. nt

[Cavallo]

38. White supremacists no doubt.

This makes me think of Hells Angels being security at a Rolling Stones concert. Only in this case, they're not security, they're just let loose to "disrupt."

[Jake Stern]

40. Please do!

Shows how worried Trump and his crew are of Bernie and gets Bernie oodles of press.

[The Jungle 1]

42. That won't work

So dump is going to send in the fat old racist people to disrupt Bernie's events.
The bald fat old men and the big hair ladies out to disrupt.
That could be entertaining.

[creeksneakers2]

50. Disrupting rallies is wrong

Bernie should ask his supporters to protest outside and not interrupt the rallies.

[warrprayer]

52. The brownshirts are coming

I think we are seeing an attempt at a coup by the corporations to put an end to this "democracy nonsense" once and for all.

[MariaThinks]

53. this is not the temperament of anyone who will help us or for a President

[Jeb Bartlet]

57. This of course presumes

that Trump supporters are bright to follow a map which so far is not in evidence.

[intrepidity]

58. I supposed Drumpf also hopes their lives will be ruined

If he hopes that for the protestors that attend his rallies, no doubt he also hopes that for his supporters that disrupt Bernie's rallies.

Right?

[Elmergantry]

59. Well whats good for the goose

is good for the gander..

[Nitram]

60. Here we go. Hitler wrote the book on this.

All it takes is for Trump to threaten to send his supporters to disrupt Sanders events, and his slobbering half-crazed bigots will take it upon themselves to honor the Fuhrer's wishes. This could turn out very badly.
