Nuremberg Comes To Albany

Herr Trump was in Albany yesterday addressing his Stormtrumpers, and something familiar happened:

Thousands of supporters poured into the Times Union Center on Monday night to voice their support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The billionaire businessman also drew a small crowd of protesters outside the arena, and several made their way into the forum and were ejected.

Supporters chanted “U.S.A., U.S.A.” as security removed the handful of protesters who disrupted the event several times.

“Send them back home to Mom,” Trump said from the dais.

The Republican front-runner spoke to approximately 10,000 people at the downtown Albany arena Monday night but had to stop five times due to demonstrators.

Trump mocked the hecklers, saying one “stands there smiling because he knows nobody’s gonna touch him. He’s protected.”

As dear friend of the blog P.E.C. noted to us not long ago,

I was thinking about the brash (to put it politely) talk from Trump about blocking the borders and keeping the unwanted out of the country. He can't even keep the disrupters out of his rallies, over which, presumably, he has control and authority. I'm sure he wants all the violence at the rallies because it gets lots of press coverage. But someone should point out the irony of his promoting closing the borders, and he can't keep the unwanted out of an auditorium.

Here's just the most recent chance to point that irony out. 

BONUS:  Here's more texture for the rally.
