I witnessed @nicksortor stealing an American flag from a peaceful protester practicing his first amendment right to burn an American flag! Nick was going around making trouble with protesters, saying horrible statements and yelling at them! They asked him to leave peacefully, but he refused!

There’s your Republican talking point. At least 12 million Americans have to see their health insurance premiums skyrocket and the Republican response is the same as their response to every policy question - “illegal aliens!!!”

TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed!
MORAN: That was photoshopped
TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.
