Civil Rights Museum rejects Trump photo-op--Woolworths Store in Greensboro, NC.

I watched this segment last night. Well worth the time IMHO to watch:
Briefly, the way Rachel tells the story--early this week, the Trump crew walked into the museum and just told the curators that Donald was going to tour the museum (?day-Thrusday)--They were to shut it down as the film did the photo op. !!!!!

Well, the curators were having none of that bossy business and basically said that if Donald wanted to tour --as a private citizen--get in line and he would be welcome but they would not be shutting it down for his photo-op!! Rachel also had some memo the curators put out and it was NOT complementary of Donald/Republicans.

End Result--Donny had no photo-op. He did come to town but did not even stop into the Civil Rights museum!
