Trump rallies and chaos seem to go hand in hand, but I guess that’s what happens when you gather large swathes of absolute imbeciles and fan the flames with hate speech from your bloated orange food hole.
Take for example when Trump said he wanted to punch a protester in the face (HERE), or that time someone threw a tomato at him and he had an onstage wobbly (HERE), or that time his supporters manhandled a black man and called him a monkey and the n-word (go on, watch that HERE).
By now you get the drift, so let’s deal with that video you’re looking at up top courtesy of NY Daily News. Two separate incidents in one day, here we go:
During the first event, an agent viciously threw Time magazine photographer Christopher Morris to the ground as he tried taking pictures of Black Lives Matters protesters being ejected from the Radford, Va. [Virginia], event.
Morris shouted “F—— you” twice to the broad-shouldered agent before the offended government officer grabbed Morris’ neck, spun him around and pushed him to the ground at the campaign rally.
Morris stood up to the agent, going chest-to-chest as the agent demanded he, “Get back in your pen.”
Witnesses said Morris stepped outside a metal barrier to get pictures of the dozens of protesters who were being paraded out the event, some chanting “Black Lives Matter” as Trump supporters showered them with boos.
Trump, saying, “Get them out,” called the protesters, “the enemy,” and even said to one demonstrator, “Are you from Mexico?”
The old Mexico jibe, always a Donald favourite. Incident number two coming at you:
Hours later, Secret Service agents booted about 30 students, all of whom are black, allegedly at Trump’s request before he spoke. The students were seated in a row of bleacher seats in the back of the Valdosta, Ga.[Georgia], rally.
The dejected group denied being at the rally to protest like the demonstrators escorted out of the rally in Radford.
“I think we got kicked out because we’re a group of black people, and because of what’s going on in America, they’re afraid we’re going to say or do something,” said a crying woman not identified in the Des Moines-Register’s report.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks defended the Republican front-runner and said he never asked the students to leave.
“There is no truth to this whatsoever,” she told the Register.
Instead of placing blame with Trump’s campaign, the woman accused Valdosta State University officials of being racist for the evening’s ordeal. Valdosta was an exclusive school for white students only until the university integrated in 1963.
Pass that buck Hope. Some videos of those protesters being booted:

Are we surprised? No, not at all, the complete and utter contempt shown to non-Trump supporters at these rallies has and always will be a thing. I guess that’s what happens when your voter base consists entirely of close-minded and uneducated individuals.
