Black activists deserve it at Trump events

Trump supporter tells CNN: ‘I’d get beat up’ at a black church so black activists deserve it at Trump events

Robert Kiger, the founder of a super PAC supporting Donald Trump for president, said on Monday that he wasn’t surprised that a black man was beaten at a Trump rally because he would expect black people to do the same thing to him if he visited an African-American church.

At a rally in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday, Trump supporters were caught on video beating a black man because he interrupted the event by shouting “black lives matter.”

Kiger told CNN’s Carol Costello on Monday that Alabama was the wrong place to protest systemic racism.

“From my perspective, I’m sick and tire of the Black Lives Matter thing,” Kiger complained. “I think it’s a farce. I think they’re there to just disrupt.

DAVID LEE: What do they do in the white churches, Mama?

REBECCA: Same as we -- they pray.

IKE: You know, one time by mistake I went into a white church down in Row County and to this day I don't know how'n the devil I got outta that church alive.

NATHAN LEE: They probly thought you was crazy.

IKE: I guess so -- but I went home and did me some praying to the Lord. I said, Lord, I went into this white church down in Row and all I want you to tell me is how I ever got outta there in one piece.

NATHAN LEE: What did the Lord tell you, Ike?

IKE: He said, I don't know, Ike -- you doin' better'n me, I been tryin' to git in there for 200 years and ain't make it yet!

Now perhaps some can see why Black people would give these events a wide berth. Dangerous.
