"Make America Safe Again" Trump supporters threaten Utah delegate in bathroom

CLEVELAND - A Utah delegate was reportedly threatened inside a bathroom at Quicken Loans Arena during the Republican National Convention Monday.

According to NBC, Utah delegate Kera Birkeland was on the floor during the Rules vote as one of the delegates calling for a roll call vote.

Birkeland reportedly went to the women's restroom and when she emerged from a stall, a group of Trump supporters surrounded her and threatened to kill her, urging her to leave the party and the state.



A delegate from Utah alleges Donald Trump supporters threatened her Monday night in a bathroom at the Republican National Convention because she was part of a push for a vote to change the convention rules and prevent Donald Trump from claiming the nomination.

At-large delegate Kera Birkeland told the Salt Lake Tribune that two other women cornered her and made death threats in a bathroom at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena.

"They said: 'You should die. They should pull the protection from the Utah delegation. You should all die,'?" Birkeland told the Tribune.

For make America safe again, I'd remind everyone that 9/11 happened under ReTHUG watch and for Make America work again, I'd show the job losses under the last Re[bTHUG president Dumbya and the crashing of the economy

Fuck ReTHUGs

They will turn on each other without any compunction, and will certainly turn on the rest of us - viciously - if elected.

It makes me want to vomit, this overt hatred. These people stand against everything this nation is supposed to stand FOR.
