You think I'm going to defend that **** because she's a Democrat?

As much as I don't like 45 I have never wished him any harm, and for a State Senator to say that was shameful.

She should resign.

The American Civil Liberties Union, taking a tougher stance on armed protests, will no longer defend hate groups seeking to march with firearms, the group’s executive director said.

Following clashes over the weekend in Charlottesville, Va., the civil-rights group also will screen clients more closely for the potential of violence at their rallies, said Anthony Romero, who has been the ACLU’s executive director since 2001.

The ACLU’s Virginia branch defended the right of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other groups under the banner “Unite the Right” to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from a Charlottesville park.

“The events of Charlottesville require any judge, any police chief and any legal group to look at the facts of any white-supremacy protests with a much finer comb,” said Mr. Romero.

The revised policy marries the 97-year-old civil-rights group’s First Amendment work with the organization’s stance on firearms, which aligns with many municipalities and states that bar protesters from carrying weapons.

“If a protest group insists, ‘No, we want to be able to carry loaded firearms,’ well, we don’t have to represent them.

They can find someone else,” Mr. Romero said, adding that the decision was in keeping with a 2015 policy adopted by the ACLU’s national board in support of “reasonable” firearm regulation.

Trump used to love destroying beautiful statues.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he is “sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful [Confederate] statues and monuments.”

But Trump’s appreciation of art and historical significance, if genuine, is certainly newfound — in 1980, he demolished the iconic Bonwit Teller building and reneged on a promise to the Met to save a pair of Art Deco sculptures and metal grillwork from the front of the building so that the museum could include them in its 20th century sculpture collection.

Trump had initially promised to donate the grillwork and the sculptures — two limestone relief panels created by Beaux-Arts designers Whitney Warren and Charles Wetmore and appraised by art dealer Robert Miller at “several hundred thousand dollars” — if the cost was not “prohibitive.”

“The reliefs are as important as the sculptures on the Rockefeller building,” Miller told the Times.

“They’ll never be made again.”

“Trump Organization vice president” John Baron — an alias Trump once admitted under oath he uses to feed reporters information about himself — told the New York Times Trump had come to a different conclusion.

It would have cost $32,000 and a week-and-a-half of construction on the $100 million building to remove them, and “Baron” ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the effort to save the panels because they were “without artistic merit.”

The Met disagreed.

“We are certainly very disappointed and quite surprised,” Ashton Hawkins, then the vice president of the Met board, told the Times in 1980.

“Can you imagine the museum accepting them if they were not of artistic merit?”

But Trump says he does see artistic merit in the Confederate statues, which were largely erected in the 1920s and 30s — decades after the Civil War — at the behest of Southern activist groups.

Mother of Charlottesville victim Heather Heyer has received death threats.

The mother of the woman killed during racially motivated violence last weekend in Charlottesville, Va., has received death threats, she said Thursday.

Susan Bro, mother of Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old killed Saturday when a car rammed into a group of protesters, told NBC News on Thursday that she has received multiple threats following the publicity surrounding her daughter's death.

“I’ve had death threats already ... because of what I’m doing right this second," Bro told NBC.
