.J. Cary really loves Donald Trump. He has loved him for years, and he really wants him to be president. On Wednesday night, the 63-year-old came to a Trump rally in Kinston, North Carolina, determined to pass his candidate a note of advice: stop being so offensive on the campaign trail to women, minorities, and people with disabilities, or else “lying Hillary” will defeat him.

According to the Charlotte Observer, Trump spotted Cary, wearing sunglasses and a bright red shirt, after he had made his way to about 30 feet from the stage and began waving his note in the air while shouting “Donald!”

Oh, did we mention Cary is black? He is.

Anyway, Trump mistook Cary for a protester. Trump addressed him directly from the podium: “We have a protester!” he said, as you can see in this video at the 11:53 mark. Trump then said this to Cary: “By the way, were you paid $1,500 to be a thug?”

Keeping on saying these foolish things will shield any gain from the latest email recovery.

Racist bastard...

If only he sent it in an email, maybe then the media would care.

[Pyro]

Deplorable.

The man shouldn't have gone to a Trump rally, because everyone knows how Trump is. Some end up learning a lesson the hard way.

If only he sent it in an email, maybe then the media would care.

Even if Trump hand typed that email, it would still be reported as a Clinton email scandal.

This is like the Indian guy who went to a Trump rally and got booted. What did you expect

[President Johnson]

A very special relationship indeed.

If this actually happened, it was an innocent mistake and completely understandable, however unfortunate.  The guy must have appeared to be doing something strange, and Trump had seen enough agitators acting in a similar way to conclude he was with Black Lives Matter and wanted to disrupt the event.  Do not blame Trump or his security.  Blame BLM for all they have done and continue to do!

it's not about this single incident, it's about the general perception which donald never fails to confirm.

treatment of women/treatment of minorities is hardened by now and he is unable to restrain himself.

I don't think America is ready to see the Republican Party emails.
