                        ANTI-TRUMP DEMONSTRATORS

  (Mr. DUNCAN of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, WMAL Radio in Washington 
reported yesterday that a group affiliated with Senator Bernie Sanders 
tweeted out a congratulations to those who forced the cancellation of 
the Trump rally in Chicago this past Friday, calling it a great 
victory.
  This morning, Willie Geist, a co-host of the Morning Joe television 
program, said that one poll showed that 88 percent said Mr. Trump had 
actually been helped by the extremism of the anti-Trump demonstrators 
in Chicago.
  Then Joe Scarborough reported that Mr. Trump had gone up 6 points in 
one poll in Florida since the Chicago protests, despite having $25 
million in negative ads against him.

  It was sad to see such hateful intolerance on public display this 
past Friday, and I am pleased that no conservatives are doing things 
like this to Clinton or Sanders rallies.
  I have not endorsed anyone in this Presidential campaign, but these 
anti-free speech thugs and their leftist supporters should realize that 
all they did was make Donald Trump more popular.
