Trump’s request to visit a civil rights museum in Greensboro, North Carolina, was rejected after the campaign was allegedly rude to museum staffers and made special requests that the museum would not accommodate.
The Trump campaign contacted the International Civil Rights Center and Museum over the weekend to schedule a visit for Tuesday, the same day the Republican nominee is scheduled to speak at High Point University, which is not far from the museum. But Earl Jones, co-founder of the museum, reported that campaign staffers were not only “aggressive and rude” but also making special demands, including asking the museum to be closed for five hours while Trump visited.
“The approach, the type of disrespect and approach that they presented to us, pretty much a demand and bullying us to use the museum in their manner, in their way, in their time, it was inappropriate, and I think it’s probably reflective of the type of insensitivity of civil rights and human rights that’s reflective of Mr. Trump over the years,” Jones said.
