Bernie Sanders has a press release on his website to issue a statement concerning the recent protest at a Donald Trump rally. It says exactly what I was thinking, and what most people will think if they have all of the facts.
I've been following the campaigns of not only Bernie Sanders, but also Donald Trump, and it truly was only a matter of time before a protest like this one occurred. It was only a matter of time before people standing up for themselves against Trump's hate- and violence- inducing views and speech caught attention on this scale. To Ben Carson who said that we need to be respectful of Donald Trump's right to free speech: How dare you? People are being thrown out of Trump's rallies for having the word "love" on their shirts... And there have been multiple cases of assault on people simply standing in silent protest at the rally. Where was their right to free speech? Do not make Donald Trump or his supporters out to be victims. Not a man who says he will pay the legal fees if you "knock the hell out of [protestors]."
I try to stay out of politics as best as I can, especially as a registered Republican recently turned independent, but it's getting ridiculous. And I refuse to sit back and not educate myself about the injustice and violence to God's people that is happening as a result of Donald Trump's tactics. Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God" (Matt 5:9). Violence is never the answer, but the Bernie Sanders campaign was not involved in the protest at Donald Trump's Chicago rally. This protest was bound to happen in reaction to the awful violence and injustice occurring because of the words of Donald J. Trump.
Please educate yourselves about the horrible things happening due to the hate Trump is spreading.
