The Trump campaign is being criticized for tossing out people who don’t support the Donald from his rally tonight.
Two girls turned away told me they were told they faced arrest if did not leave event after saying they were undecided voters. #vt #btvtrump

The Trump campaign is asking attendees at the door if they are supporters. If not a verbal yes, folks being escorted out.

Trump campaign announces this is a private event, paid for by Mr. Trump and protesters are not welcome.

Bernie supporter says he was manhandled by Trump security for wearing a button & may file police report for assault https://t.co/pXlyOi8J8L

Another group of protesters shed their jackets: Bernie shirts! They scream and walk out on their own. Police can’t keep up….

This is Cruz’s former spokesperson:
Trump threatening to arrest non-supporters is a pretty good preview of what I think living under his presidency would be like.

Trump is not a conservative; he is a tyrant.

Here’s a Bernie supporter who was tossed out:

I think I would be upset if I stood waiting for hours and hours and got kicked out, but then again, the campaign does have the right to toss out anyone they don’t want in.
There was a lot of concern abt protestors who were rumored to try to stage a walk out during the rally. Campaign is obviously weary of that.

Apparently they left:
Not seeing campaign turning anyone away inside anymore. No one wearing visible bernie support coming thru.

It’s one thing if they were protesting, but if they were politely sitting there, and they got a ticket, it does seem kinda shady for them to be kicked out.
