Trump is right that if one person or a small group is protesting at one of his rallies amidst a crowd of thousands that are supporting him, the media will only report on the protesters.

Trump is right that the main stream media is his enemy because they have shown how they are willing to go beyond the story, beyond the facts to push the Leftist agenda to denounce and bring down Trump.



It is not Trump that is sinking to low levels but it is the heavily biased media.
Perhaps that in order to be an honest patriot to the Constitution, one doesn't get to pick and choose which amendments one is going to honor.

BTW - You're being presumptuous to assume that the photographer was a member of the dreaded MSM. He could have been a freelancer from the Evensville, IN Weekly Shopper. Additionally, Mr. Hands wouldn't have known that either. As it turns out he works for the AP. (of which FOX News is a subscribing and contributing member of)

That's not speech. Freedom of speech does not mean you get to silence others.

"Honest patriots" should know that most constitutional rights are limited (and some transformed) by later amendments. Free speech is hardly unlimited. Slander is not OK. Gun rights are not unlimited.

Take a long look at the photograph and pray for this country.

I pray for this country because a crazed member of that party shot the majority whip and four others.

I pray for this country because the pro-illegal, anti-law rhetoric of that party convinced an illegal to try an assassination attempt.

I pray for this country because members of that party routinely dress in black and commit violence in the streets.

I pray for this country because members of that party working for the media have tried to overturn the results of an election with a bogus story about a "collusion" that no one can define.

I pray for this country because rouge members of that party working for the FBI openly talked about overturning an election. One of those agents was the lead investigator on the phony collusion story.

Want to guess which party I am taking about?

Finally, I pray for this country because people like yourself are totally brainwashed, and do not understand who the bad guys are, probably because your communist professor or favorite celebrity told you what to think.
So many total untruths in the above that it's just pitiful. For starters, it's an all out lie members of that party, presumably Democrats, routinely dress in black and commit violence in the streets. Just what propaganda outlets do people use to come up with such stuff? More than just Fox News?

LMAO Oh, give me a very large break. And that's rich coming from the party of speech control.

Every campaign controls both its protesters AND coverage. Where have YOU been? Apparently, you missed the biggest example during Hillary's campaign, when she looked like a deer caught in headlights during one protest, her "medical handler" had to leap onstage to "protect" her, and campaign coordinators started pushing cameras away. As in YOUR example, someone ELSE caught it, right? That's what always happens.

Fact: It's the right, not the wimps on the left, on whom we can always rely to safeguard all of our rights. Believe it.

Liberal clowns are so amusing!

so here is the simple fact. it is the left that is seeking to muzzle speech. that is an absolute reality.


the left sends out ANTIFA to beat people up for speech they don't like
the left prevents non-prog talkers from speaking on State funded college campuses.
the left has stated repeatedly that speech is violence if that speech is not liked by the left.




what else does the left do?


They claim the RIGHT is anti speech because someone put a hand in front of a camera at a rally.




America you better wake up.
The Left hates you
The left wants you to SHUT UP
The left wants to control you
The Left is lying to you.


The left are the bad guys. period.

are you saying this because you don't read C-D? because the left regularly dresses up in black, with hoods covering their faces, and commits vile acts of violence.


you are not safe on any American college campus due to the violence commited by the left if you are a conservative. period. that is a fact.
