A Trump rally was 8 minutes from home so my husband went.
He was hoping for some issues to be addressed so
he could learn what Trump is running on.
After 40 minutes of continuous bragging (no issues),
Trump brought up the issue first began by the statement
about the 9/11 video he supposedly saw
that said thousands were applauding after 9/11 in New Jersey.
This time he didn't say there were thousands of people and
he only discussed an article in the Washington Post that
mentioned a handful of people applauding.
Apparently the reporter said even he wasn't even sure it his story was accurate.
Now Trump was badmouthing the reporter.
Trump diverts the blame when he is wrong to someone else.
Wait a minute, he originally said he saw a video... not an article in the paper.
Get the story straight!
Mark got fed up with his lack of depth
and spin on this story and decided to leave.
Mark then walked in front of TV cameras holding up a sign for
hundreds to see. It was prepared in advance just in case
Trump held to his original story of the N.J. residents applauding.
When people started to notice his sign and raised a murmur,
my husband was asked to leave. He was by then already at the door.
What happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
It sounds like if you don't agree with Trump, there is no such thing.
I recall hearing a story of when Bill Clinton had a heckler at one
of his speeches. Clinton asked the heckler if he would be quiet
if he was given two minutes to speak.
The heckler said yes and spoke for two minutes.
Then he was quiet and Bill Clinton continued.
Each showed respect for other person. Clinton had enough
confidence in himself to allow the heckler to speak.
Anyway, I was happy when Mark arrived home early.
He had planned to stay for the entire rally to listen to what was said.
I was so glad and sighed a big exhale when he walked in the room.
Mark just thinks the people of New Jersey need an apology
if this video can't be found because even the Govenor of N.J.
did not ask for one for his people.
All candidate need to check facts before talking
and we need to demand this of them, no matter who
they think they are especially if they are attempting
to cause fear in the masses. Back to my point.
I am sorry to say that he did cause fear in me.
I was fearing my husband would be beaten up by his crowd
based on how I saw one man treated at his rally recently
who was there to protest. Even though Mark wasn't protesting and
only wanted to give his opinion, I didn't know what the crowd would do.
My imagination was working on the side of fear. I caught myself.
Then relaizing the power of the imagination, I started imagining him
being fine. (And truth be told, giving the sign to a protester outside).
Bravo Mark for taking a stand for what you
believe in. You non-violet and sensible.
By the way, Mark was in a protest march in Washington D.C. when
he was only 16 years old. His father was helping public television
to cover the protest. He was ok with Mark marching against
the war. A crowd in this particular part of the city was
about 5 - 10,000 people. They were chanting
"Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh , NLF is gonna win" . Mark was thinking
"If anyone is still undecided about this war, this chant is not going to do it. "
So he started to chant something new. "Peace now" Mark shouted.
Slowly the people around him and then the people around them and so on
began to chant "Peace now" until the thousands of people were now
chanting "Peace now". That is the day I believe that Mark got a taste
that one person can make a difference.
So Trump. If you sincerely want to do good for this country.
Stop badmouthing others.
Start focusing on how you plan to do what you will do
and be a man and apologize when you get it wrong.
What does Trump say on NBC news say today?
