Full Title: Leftist Starts Petition Drive to Ban President Trump Campaign Rallies After “Send Her Back” Controversy

A leftist activist has initiated a petition at Change.org calling on public and private venues to ban President Trump from holding campaign rallies in the wake of the “send her back” crowd chants targeting Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) at Trump’s Greenville, North Carolina rally Wednesday night. The initial target of the ban is Trump’s August first rally set for U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Igor Volsky, Executive Director of Guns Down America and a former Vice President of the Center for American Progress, announced the petition on Twitter, saying, “In light of the racist #SendHerBack chants at Trump’s rally on Wednesday, I’ve started a petition urging @AEGworldwide, which owns
@USBankArena, to cancel Trump’s upcoming racist campaign rally on Aug. 1.”

Text of the petition:

On August 1st, Donald Trump is scheduled to host a campaign rally at the U.S. Bank Arena in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The event will take place less than a month after Trump presided over a North Carolina crowd chanting “Send her back! Send her back!” about an American Muslim congresswoman he targeted with racist attacks.

Given Donald Trump’s penchant for stirring up unrestrained demagoguery and racist hate-filled chants against women, minorities, and immigrants at his campaign rallies, we are asking AEG Worldwide, which owns the U.S. Bank Arena, to cancel the event and refuse to rent its space to the Trump campaign.

Does AEG Worldwide and U.S. Bank — which has naming rights to the space — really want to be associated with such hatred and racism?

All colleges, universities, corporate branded arenas or other private or public venues should refuse to rent their arenas for Trump’s racist campaign rallies.

The petition has about 2,000 signatures as of Friday morning.

More and more it seems that the “send her back” chant was a setup. They were at the ready with their attack plan and the media started singing the same tune immediately.

Oh the YouTube videos the day after Trump’s re-election are going to be so much fun to watch! I plan to set aside the entire day to enjoy watching the Democrat/Left fall into the abyss.

Boycotts work for the left because they don’t believe in free speech. Like lemmings, they follow the leader.
They ARE the Fascists they keep calling us.
Historically, violence is their inevitable next step.

“Why doesn’t the Left contact their congressfeces and urge passage of a bill to legalize dueling, if they REALLY want to solve the issue of other people’s free speech?”

If they did, then conservatives would have to wear a blind fold and use only one low-caliber bullet, while liberals would be allowed a full clip of any size.

And the assault on the first amendment has truly begun.

Now blocking political speech outright.

The first step Communists and other authoritarians always take when they start to get power is to crush free speech, the freedom from which all other freedoms spring.

They’re terrified of Trump.

If you are confident you can beat an opponent, you don’t try to silence them and shut them out. You only do that if you know they will whup you unless you cheat.

No more freedom of assembly for the President.

How about passing a law to cut his hands off?

Chief “Justice” Roberts would uphold it.

1. Ban Trump rallies.
2. Require Trump supporters to attend Democrat rallies &
fund Antifa.

They hate Trump's rallies because their own 20-something democRAT presidential candidates can't draw more than a few hundred people to their speeches.

It's embarrassing to them that Trump attracts so many people and they can't seem to come close to the same numbers.

Remember when Chelsea Clinton held a "rally" for her mom in a coat closet in Nebraska?
