Brownshirts Crash Trump Fundraiser, Attack Motorcade, Assault Trump Supporters in Violent ‘Gauntlet’
2016-08-21
[BREITBART] Leftist agitators viciously attacked attendees at a Donald Trump presidential campaign fundraiser in Minneapolis on Friday night.

Video shows dozens of anti-Trump activists shouting obscenities and throwing debris as they surround Donald Trump supporters attempting to exit the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Trump fundraiser attendees attempting to exit the building were forced through a gauntlet of punches, with one protester seen violently attacking an elderly man as another man and a woman caught the brunt of the brutal beating.

Some attendees attempting to leave the event were also spit on as they left the ­convention center, the Star Tribune reports.

Jaime DeLage of the St. Paul Pioneer Press captured video of Trump supporters being forced to run a "gauntlet" to get into the fundraiser.

DeLage also captured footage of protesters outside burning the American flag:

Reporter Emma Sapong with MPR News posted video of protesters attacking Trump’s motorcade:

The private fundraiser Friday night marked Trump’s first visit to the state as the Republican presidential nominee.

Tickets for the fundraiser ranged from $1,000 per person to $100,000 per couple. The event was reportedly closed to the press, and Trump didn’t grant the media his usual presser-style availability.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who attended the dinner did say: "People want to live, mind their own business and have a good job, and I think that’s something Donald Trump understands."

"He’s a common-sense guy, not into political correctness," Bachmann added. "He has turned businesses around, and that’s what he wants to do with the country."

Michele Bachmann on ‘Deranged’ Brownshirts Targeting Donald Trump’s Supporters, Motorcade: ‘Rent-A-Thugs’ Were ‘Looking for a Beat-Down’

[BREITBART] The "deranged" brownshirts progressive protesters who attacked GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s motorcade and targeted Trump supporters in Minneapolis on Friday night are being protected by Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Hamilton Fish ...
, the Democratic nominee for president, former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Breitbart News exclusively.

Bachmann, who ran for president herself in 2012 and was one of the top conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives for years before her retirement after last Congress, is a Trump supporter and was at the Trump event in Minneapolis. Bachmann said the protesters were using profanity to verbally harass Trump supporters, spitting on them, and were so much a threat to the community that coppers advised people that they needed to leave through alternative exits.

#5  If they're desperate enough to use these strong arm, brown shirt tactics the Clintons and progressives must be running scared.

Obviously hoping for a violent response, which would then become the MFM's total focus.

I believe this type of response would be entirely adequate.
