Sanders Supporter In "Anarchy" T-Shirt: Albuquerque Violence Incited By Trump Supporters Telling Us To "Get A Job"

|

The protestor talks to MSNBC:

MSNBC REPORTER: The Albuquerque Police believe the people who are left are here in order to disrupt... Hi, good to see you... I know we spoke earlier about your message and why you're out here.

MADELIENE: Well, I just gave them up there two hugs, because the message they're trying to get across is right. We're people, you know, let's love each other, that was the beginning of the protest. There's families out there. We were having fun. It was stop Trump's hate with love. And then quickly, once the Trump supporters started coming in, and you see a Trump supporter, you know you --

REPORTER: Go ahead.

MADELIENE: "You're useless, go to school, get a job." When I went there with my brother and four of my friends who work 40 hours a week while going to school, and this is the idea they have of us because they're fed this idea by Trump.

And honestly I don't blame them because Trump is a narcissistic, powerful rich sociopathic person and it's easy for them to, for him to use his their fears to manipulate them.

REPORTER: I have to point out you're wearing an "anarchy" shirt. Critics have said these protester are coming here only to disrupt and not to get a message across. How do you respond to that criticism criticism. Did you come here to disrupt?

MADELIENE: No. the only reason I'm out here now is because I didn't know what was going on. I left to pick up my mom, 12 hours at the hospital, you know -- and my family is the type of family that Bernie promises to help.

REPORTER: You're a Bernie Sanders supporter?

MADELIENE: Yes. sorry. I think they might be -- this is wrong.

MADELIENE: You were saying. We're going to walk back so we can get off the sidewalk, but you were saying earlier in the evening this was intended to be a stop Trump protest. "Stop Trump with love."

MADELIENE: That's what most of the supporters were out. When I came here, over half of these people were not Trump love against hate, whatever, protest. We all went out there with signs that said things like -- a lot of them were heartfelt. There was this one group of guys -- there's always -- is it okay?

REPORTER: It looks like we're going to let you go here. Tell me again your name here?

MADELIENE: I want to say I'm sorry this turned out the way it did. I'm here because my brother is here and I'm worried about him and I'm trying to get him out of here and I'm trying to keep the kids away from all this. There's kids out here. It is wrong.


Trump reacted to Tuesday night's antics and tweeted, 'The protesters in New Mexico were thugs who were flying the Mexican flag. The rally inside was big and beautiful, but outside, criminals!'
