An estimated 15,000 counter demonstrators on Saturday in Boston surrounded a small group of conservatives who marched for free speech a week after a white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent. The conservative march disbanded after about an hour and the demonstrators were escorted away by police.
“1:2 It was beautiful to see thousands of people across the U.S.A come together today to peacefully denounce bigotry, racism & anti-semitism,” Ivanka Trump tweeted on Saturday evening. In a second tweet she added: “2:2 We must continue to come together, united as Americans!”
Her tweet came several hours after her father, the president, tweeted from his personal Twitter account: “I want to applaud the many protestors in Boston who are speaking out against bigotry and hate. Our country will soon come together as one!”
Saturday’s protests were mostly peaceful.
Ivanka Trump tweeted a response to last week’s violence in Charlottesville, writing from her personal Twitter account that: “There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis.”
Ivanka Trump, who serves as a West Wing adviser to her father, converted to Judaism in 2008 before her marriage to Jared Kusher, who serves as a top aide to Donald Trump.
Boston Commissioner William Evans told the Associated Press that 27 arrests were made on Saturday — mostly for disorderly conduct, but including some for assaulting police officers. Protesters threw bottles, urine and rocks at police officers in the late afternoon, according to police.
The Boston Free Speech Coalition, which organized the event, said it has nothing to do with white nationalism or racism, according to the Associated Press. The coalition also said that it was not related to the organizers of the Charlottesville rally.
Huh? Don’t you think it’s more important that the President praised the protesters, or does that go against the lamestream media agenda?

she converted to Judaism. Her father allows to carry a flag on the streets of America despised by the civilized word in the name of which Jewish children, women and men were killed
Racist are allowed, in this country, the SAME protections as everyone else to speak and petition the government. I don’t know why this fundemental right is not being understood now as it had been in previous generations, such as when the Nazi’s in Stockie Ill marched right through a densely populated Jewish community and the Supreme Court UPHELD their right to do so. There is no DOUBT that the counter protest was ILLEGAL and IMMORAL because it attacked the cherished political principles of the 1st amendment.
THIS GENERATION IS LOST.
Democracy is not something to TAKE, it is something you GIVE.
It means tolerance, flexibility and respect for the sacred principles of Freedom of Speech, of Freedom of Economic Participation, of Freedom of from State suppression without just and legal cause. The counter demonstrators met the exercise of Free Speech with violence. That is 100% unacceptable in a Democratic Society, regardless of WHO is speaking, and regardless of how much one disagrees with it. You can not maintain a stable Democratic Society unless ALL are protected EQUALLY.
Allowing someone to speak is NOT condoning their speech
