The Audience Dissents

Donald Trump was loudly booed by an audience of 35,000 people Sunday night when he arrived to watch a World Series game. And then the audience broke into a loud "lock him up" chant (details here and here).

Behind home plate, spectators held up "Veterans for Impeachment" signs whilst others displayed two large anti-Trump banners. Video footage shows Trump's face turning from a broad smile into seething anger as he realized this was not like one of his adoring rally crowds.

Now some commentators yesterday from the left took exception to what happened. They said it was disrespectful of the presidency and contemptuous of the Constitution for advocating imprisonment without trial.

I disagree. They weren't booing the presidency. They were booing a corrupt incompetent who has repeatedly disrespected the American people throughout his presidency.

And as for the "lock him up" chant, the crowd obviously wasn't advocating punishment without trial. They were simply giving Trump a taste of his own medicine. Good for them.
