Kansas City, MissouriCNN — Donald Trump on Saturday called for protesters who demonstrate at his rallies to be arrested by police.“I hope they arrest these people because they’re really violating all of us,” Trump said at a rally here during which dozens of protesters were ejected from the venue by police. “They deserve to be arrested.”During one of more than a dozen interruptions, Trump asked police to arrest the demonstrators, saying he would “file whatever charges you want.”But Trump’s call went beyond the protesters in this Kansas City theater, with the Republican front-runner suggesting he would like to institute a practice of arresting protesters who disrupt his rallies.“Once that’s starts happening, we’re not going to have any more protesters, folks,” Trump said.Trump’s remark is not the first time he has called for a tightening of First Amendment protections. Protests are covered as a fundamental exercise of free speech.Trump also said late last month that he wants to “open up libel laws” so he can sue media publications that write negative and, in his view, inaccurate news stories.
