“Black Lives Matter” agitators decided to show up outside Donald Trump’s meeting with pastors and business leaders in Philadelphia today.
So did Jerry Lambert.

Lambert, dressed in a coat and tie, wanted to peacefully protest alongside the agitators to exercise his First Amendment right.
But the activists had no interest in respecting it.
Video shows Black Lives Matter supporters grabbing Lambert’s signs — which read “I Love Walls” and “Democrat for Trump” — away from him.

Police intervened as Lambert tried to get them back.

Lambert said he wanted to alleged perpetrator, Asa Khalif, arrested for assault, but that didn’t appear to happen.
In fact, video showed Lambert being manhandled by the police after the incident:
