    Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots.

    Yep. Looks like a simple "He's with me" thing. I'm surprised that the press even bothered to report it.

    Was there sound with the clip, BTW? I didn't get it off the link if there was.

    Yeah, that's not the way the CNN article made it seem. Just a little vignette of the guy in charge taking charge, not especially newsworthy.

    I heard audio, it sounded like a Spanish news person narrating the scene as it happened, but sort of blurred.
    Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

    The article really distorts things.

    The White House should downplay the situation. Nothing courageous, nor negative really happened.

    It was utterly unremarkable.
