President Donald Trump cant shake a lawsuit filed by a group of protesters who allege they were in 2015 by the then-candidates security detail in front of Trump Tower during a campaign speech.
Bronx Supreme Court Justice Fernando Tapia refused to dismiss the protesters claims that Trump, the Trump Organization and Trumps presidential campaign were vicariously liable for the actions of longtime Trump bodyguard Keith Schiller and other guards named as defendants in the case, finding that Trump authorized and condoned the guards type of conduct.
Efrain Galicia and four other Mexican activists, who are plaintiffs in the case, say they took to the streets outside Trump Tower in September 2015 in response to Trumps statements during a June 16, 2015, campaign announcement that Mexico is sending rapists and people bringing drugs and crime into the United States.
During their demonstration, protesters carried signs with slogans such as Trump: Make America Racist Again, and a few donned Ku Klux Klan outfits, according to the protesters suit.
Galicia claims that Schiller approached the group and grabbed his sign, causing a scuffle to ensue, though both men are at odds as to who initiated the physical contact.

(19,201 posts)at the law is catching up to the Orange Shit Stain! Of course all of the people Trump hurt, cheated, and stole from aren't going to regain their property or peace of mind, but there has to be some measure of justice served for them. Of course there's been no real penalty served on Trump, yet. His day will come.
Yes, it's been a marvelous day for those who despise Trump for everything he's done to ruin our country, but the final curtain has yet to fall on the fucking asshole who started it all. There are many miles to go until that score is settled.
