Meanwhile outside ....religious protesters

CLEVELAND – As a woman in the city's public square began a scheduled talk about peaceful interactions between Muslims and Donald Trump supporters, four banners were unrolled and raised into the air behind her.
“Muhammad is a liar, false prophet, child-raping pervert.”
“Every real Muslim is a Jihadist.”
“Jesus is angry with you sinners.”
“America: God hates your sins.”
And a man with a megaphone began to yell, “Allah is Satan.”

Jim Gilles, a preacher from Evansville, Indiana, brought five other men and their four banners with him to Cleveland to preach. They are not affiliated with a particular church, but said they believe God wants them to bring their message to the Republican National Convention. They were one of many religious protest groups in public Monday.

Their group was also one of the loudest. While most other religious protesters only held up signs, such as “Only a Vote for Jesus Can Save Us” and “Jews Against Trump: We’ve Seen This Before,” Gilles and his friends shouted over the crowd everywhere they went.

Black Lives Matter activist Pierre Nappier stood in front of Gilles, pointed at Gilles’ Donald Trump hat and said, “My friends, white supremacy has come to town today.”

Nappier asked if Gilles would shake the hand of a black man. The two looked each other in the eyes and shook hands.

“I’ll shake your hand,” Gilles said. “But you’re still going to burn in hell.”

Jim Gilles doesn't sound like he's too familiar with God.

...On the other side of the public square, 35-year-old Sam Castro asked if Gilles was from the Westboro Baptist Church. Gilles immediately called him an uneducated, ignorant, doomed homosexual.

Anovia Thibeaux, a 20-year-old from San Francisco, asked Gilles why he hated women. Gilles called her a whore.

I like the guy on the bike who followed him around asking questions
