Trump Super PAC Head: ‘I’m Sick and Tired of the Black Lives Matter Thing’

Source: Mediaite.com

Following the beating of a #BlackLivesMatter protester at Donald Trump‘s rally in Birmingham, Ala. on Saturday, a Trump supporter told CNN he was tired about the protest movement’s publicity.

Robert Kiger of Citizens For Restoring USA, a Super PAC supporting Trump’s presidential bid, told Carol Costello that he was “sick and tired of the Black Lives Matter thing” when the CNN anchor asked him about Saturday’s incident. In addition, when Kiger opened by saying he hadn’t seen any of the video, Costello interrupted, “It was just on!”

“I think [Black Lives Matter] is a farce. I think they’re just there to disrupt,” said Kiger. “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.”

“So they don’t have the right to protest at a Trump rally?” Costello asked him. “No they don’t, really,” he said. “Look, I wouldn’t go into a black church and start screaming ‘White Lives Matter.’ People are trying to elect a president.”

Groups like BLM and La Raza should be protesting at every Trump event. Keep the heat on him.
