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 of Michigan, then made a second pass and played God Bless America.
Cortis told Cleveland 19 he was leaving the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and happened to drive by city hall as the memorial was being held.
Speakers, including Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, stayed on script and focused on the tragedy instead of the disruption.

(54,415 posts)Someone was paying these pond leeches to perform acts that demonstrate to the world that the United States deserves no place at the table of civilized nations. The perps have no clue, themselves, but I detect a more subtle manipulative hand behind these overt demonstrations of boorishness.

Right here in Grand Rapids. My husband wants to go protest so we might do that. He's already got sign ideas.

(14,536 posts)He did not happen to drive by as he claims. Even though the RRHF is nearby, he would have to make a turn down a side street. That turn would not lead him to a highway. Then he "happened" to go by the vigil a 2nd time? Not to mention he also "happens" to be hauling this monstrous float?
He went there to stir up shit.
