During a media availability at a Michigan appearance yesterday, Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet and promised the Black Lives Matter agitators will never steal his microphone.
“I would never give up my microphone. I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness. The way he was taken away by two young women — the microphone! — they just took the whole place over,” Trump said.
“That will never happen with me. I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or or other people will but that was a disgrace.”
Trump is referring to an incident over the weekend in which two Black Lives Matter protesters stormed the stage and a Bernie Sanders campaign event and commandeered the microphone. They proceeded to rant for 20 minutes about the “white supremacist liberals” in the audience and Sanders fled.
“Believe me, that’s not going to happen to Trump,” the Republican frontrunner concluded.
Agitators responded quickly:
#Trump wants to put the #BlackLivesMatter protestors to the test. They will show him what time it is. Believe that.

When they have the gumption to try anything is unknown. But if they do, they clearly won’t met with the same capitulation Sanders and Martin O’Malley offered.
