Chris Wilson and Donna Davis from Black Lives Matter

Today on Radioactivity, we hear from Donald Trump supporters and protesters from Monday’s rally in downtown Tampa. It was the latest stop in on a campaign trail that has recently been marked with violent skirmishes between attendees, leading to the cancellation of one rally in Chicago due to safety concerns. We talk with two Trump backers about why they are backing the controversial GOP front-runner as well as voices from the opposition on  how their presence was received there. We also speak with two Black Live Matters activists, Chris Wilson and Donna Davis, on what they experienced as they were ejected from the rally for disrupting Trump’s speech inside of the convention center.
