Donald Trump: I’d rather fight #BlackLivesMatter than let them speak at my events

Published

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he would physically stop Black Lives Matter activists who attempted to protest his campaign events, The Hill reported.

“That will never happen with me,” he said at the end of a press conference in Birch Run, Michigan. “I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself, or if other people will, but that was a disgrace.”

The real estate mogul argued that Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders showed “weakness” when he allowed two women identifying themselves as part of the movement to interrupt him during an appearance at a rally in Seattle over the weekend. Sanders opted to leave the stage when the two women insisted on shutting the event down.

“I would never give up my microphone. I thought that was disgusting,” Trump said, adding, “I felt badly for him, but it showed that he’s weak. You know what? He’s getting the biggest crowds, and I’m getting the biggest crowds. We’re the ones getting the biggest crowds. But believe me, that’s not gonna happen to Trump.”

"And he also is trying to undermine the very basis of trust in our electoral institution, which is essential for having democracy. And Republicans on Capitol Hill, particularly in the Senate, know this."

On CNN Saturday, Washington Post reporter David Swerdlick walked through the potential damage of outgoing President Donald Trump's chaotic behavior on both domestic and foreign affairs.

"What is the next month and a half or two going to look like if this is the tone and tenor set by the president during this lame-duck session?" asked anchor Fredricka Whitfield. "The president continues to deny he lost the election and appears to be doing everything he can to create problems for the incoming Biden administration, including ending a federal lending program to help struggling businesses. The president withdrawing troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, cracking down on China, and appearing to show no interest whatsoever in a COVID stimulus bill. I mean, does he not realize how damaging this is for him trying to cement a more positive legacy?"
