Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Sarah Palin Calls Trump Protests “Punk-ass Thuggery”

HeadlineMar 15, 2016

Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin joined Trump on stage and condemned the demonstrators who have repeatedly, peacefully disrupted Trump’s rallies.

Sarah Palin: “What we don’t have time for is all that petty, punk-ass little thuggery stuff that’s been going on with these quote-unquote 'protesters,' who are doing nothing but wasting your time and trying to take away your First Amendment rights, your rights to assemble peacefully. And the media being on the thugs’ side, what the heck are you guys thinking, media? It doesn’t make sense.”
