While Mr. Trump complains that protesters are violating his First Amendment rights, many of his critics wonder about their own ability to speak out. At a Trump campaign event held at Valdosta State University in Georgia last month, several black students complained to the police that they did not understand why they were kicked out.
Lee Rowland, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, said that because campaign events are considered “political theater,” candidates who rent event spaces have the right to disinvite anyone they choose. Those who resist could be charged with trespassing.

Wow, stupid college students.
ACLU more consistent than the world’s bestest Constitutionalist Mr. Ted Cruz Esquire.
Amen
But the dwindling number of remaining Cruznadians here insist that Cruz is The Consistent Conservative.
Oh please, the Clinton’s have operated this way for years with nary a blink from the media. He has every right to insure his safety and right to speak without being hassled by paid activists when he is footing the bill!
"in my best Helen Mirren Voice......
What are the odds of that ?
First Amendment only prohibits government censorship.
Political parties, candidates and individuals reserve the right to decide who they will associate with.
If I was a candidate, leftist gate-crashers would NOT be welcome to my rallies.
Tump is within his rights to see anti-Trump disruptor thugs out.
#TedsLiesMatter
I heard that group of black students were yelling profanities and insults, even before the rally began. I don’t know if that’s true or not. There are many ways to disrupt a crowd without a microphone and spotlight. They may have had angry slogans written on their clothing. That’s a common passive-aggressive technique.
The Left hates Trump even more than they hated Reagan.
What you’re witnessing is the overwhelming stench of rabid fear.
They can’t figure him out.
It is true the Martin Luther King era protests were nonviolent and Christian based. These protesters are more the socialist agitators types which means they are violent thugs.
There is a moral difference between opposing oppression and depriving other people of their rights.
People who can’t see that are idiots.
“Ted” Cruz, AKA Rafael Edward Cruz, is being proven to be counterfeit coin. Being a lawyer, he does not support Trump’s First Amendment rights, his followers right to assembly, basic trespassing laws and Constitutional requirements for eligibility to run for President. I know the watermark was wrong when I found out his real name.
Martin Luther King attended communist seminars
Hard to believe those black students would yell profanities and insults before the rally. They were all such angels later in the night.
Trump should start playing a cut of the Rawhide theme song every time a Communist pops up. Blast it over the PA’s.
Move ‘em on
(Head em’ up!)
Head em’ up
(Move ‘em on!)
Move ‘em on
(Head em’ up!)
Rawhide!
Cut ‘em out
(Ride ‘em in!)
Ride ‘em in
(Cut em’ out!)
Cut ‘em out
Ride ‘em in,
Rawhide!
Here’s a piece of the article:
“The first act of that office is swearing an oath to the Constitution, including the First Amendment.”
Yes, the First Amendment, part of which states, “the right of the people to peaceably assemble...”, which the Trump supporters were doing, but which the disruptors were not.
The crowd would dance and clap joyously to that song. Much better than Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey, Good Bye.
Yah!
