CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - A vigil organized by Christians, Jews and Muslims at Cleveland City Hall to remember the 49 killed in Christchurch, New Zealand was interrupted Friday by a President Donald Trump supporter driving a BUILD THE WALL float.
Mourners looked on in disbelief as the float rolled past the memorial blaring music. The driver, Robert Cortis, then made a second pass and played God Bless America.
Cortis, of Michigan, is raising money through GoFundMe to support his nationwide Trump Unity Bridge Tour.
Speakers, including Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, stayed on script and focused on the tragedy instead of the disruption.

This event is really highlighting the true meaning of trump is, it's not about anything but racism and white supremacy.

(16,847 posts)All they knew is that there would be Muslims and some liberals at the event and they wanted to kick the people while they were down. It's as if there was a KKK march on the day MLK was shot. Just plain evil and trashy.

I believe Trump is nuts.

(2,343 posts)economic anxiety at work. Internet troll *president and his internet troll fucking piece of shit followers. Like Bob Cesca says, trumpism needs to be shamed into non existence. We need to be relentless, and not let up. These people are the confederates, but this time, they shouldn't be allowed a voice or any type of power once they are defeated.

(1,332 posts)As a Michigander I do apologize for this knuckle dragger. As a democratic liberal I am embarrassed.
And now we read that the big orange idiot is coming to Grand Rapids March 28 for a rally. At the Van Andel arena. In case you dont know, Van Andel was the partner of old man DeVos who was the father in law of ...wait for it...the truly incompetent Betsy DeVos who bought her way into Secretary of education.
My husband wants to go protest.

The GOPs in Congress share blame for anything done in his name.
