QOTD: A Trump person
by digby
Robert Kiger of Citizens For Restoring USA, a Super PAC supporting Trump’s presidential bid:
Kiger: “I think [Black Lives Matter] is a farce. I think they’re just there to disrupt. If they really care about black lives, they need to pick up a banner and go to the south side of Chicago, where black lives are being slaughtered on a daily basis.”
CNN: “So they don’t have the right to protest at a Trump rally?”
Kiger:“No they don’t, really. Look, I wouldn’t go into a black church and start screaming ‘White Lives Matter.’ People are trying to elect a president.”
Trump rallies are for white people to pick a president. I think that was already obvious but it’s good to see one of his prominent supporters acknowledge it.
By the way, I don’t think Dylan Roof screamed out “white lives matter” before he opened fire in Charleston that day, but it’s good to know that this fellow wouldn’t do that…
Update: he also said this —
Donald Trump has “gone out of his way to be polite” but “enough is enough. We’re trying to elect the next president of the United States here. They don’t really have a cause they’re trying to bring to the forefront. Being in Birmingham, Alabama, going in and disrupting that thing, that’s no place for BlackLivesMatter to try to bring their issues to the forefront.”
Birmingham Alabama is no place for African Americans to be protesting. Huh.
