    Obama was interrupted when a white-haired white man in a beret and suit jacket with what appeared to be military patches stood up with a Trump sign and started yelling. He was quickly drowned out by screaming and booing by the crowd, which was predominantly African-American.

    Obama repeatedly told the at-capacity crowd jammed into a gym at Fayetteville State University to “focus” and to “settle down.”

    “Everybody sit down and be quiet for a second!” Obama said. “You’ve got an older gentleman who is supporting his candidate,” he said as the protester was led away.

    “We live in a country that respects free speech,” he said. “It looks like he might have served in our military – we’ve got to respect that.”

    I have to admit when I’m wrong and I’ve been proven wrong. Hilary Clinton has been proven to be without a doubt a criminal, she’s lied to the American people, to the FBI, to the mothers of the four Benghazi victims, etc. and now it’s been proven her foundation was created with the sole purpose of enriching Hilary and her husband. It’s been proven and reported that Only 10% of the monies donated to the foundation go to the intended purpose (charity!) and the rest goes “back into the foundation,” and to pay salaries, meaning back into the clintons’ pockets. That’s unacceptable and therefore I ch aged my mind and will in fact be voting for Donald Trump, I hope my fellow Jewish Americans will do the same.
