April Ryan's #1A lecture to pastor who wanted her to pipe down at Trump's MLK signing sparks eye rolls

Yesterday, as President Trump was leaving the room after signing an MLK Day proclamation yesterday, journalist April Ryan shouted the question “are you a racist?” Toward the end of the video a man can be heard responding “NO” to Ryan’s question, along with some other comments. That man was pastor and Trump supporter Darrell Scott, who defended himself from criticism:

I wasnt defending him. The entire event honoring Dr King was disrespected and overshadowed by her rudeness. It was very irritating.

Ryan, the reporter who shouted the question, assumed Scott wasn’t “educated” on constitutional issues:

You need to be educated! You don’t jump into my job while I am questioning a president. We are inside of the first amendment. THE CONSTITUTION IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. You TRIED to block my right to ask the question. Do I tell you how to pray or preach?

Scott responded:

Heyyyyyyy….calm down. I have first amendment rights too. Cant we all just get along. BTW. He was gone by the time I said anything.

And who knew that room in the White House existed inside a constitutional amendment!

Hmm, we wonder where outside the First Amendment begins.

" THE CONSTITUTION IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. "

The Constitution doesn't give you any rights. Our rights come from God. That is why they are called Inalienable Rights.
