Tom Morrissey Immediate Past Chairman of the AZ GOP: What is True Grit? On Saturday (3-19-16) I was one of the drivers in
the Donald Trump motorcade as we made our way to
Fountain Hills from the Sean Hannity Town
Hall meeting in downtown Phoenix. As the Hannity event was in progress we
received reports that protestors had shut down street access to the enormous
Trump event in Fountain Hills. Concerns about what we might be facing
going into that venue were raised by law enforcement officials as we planned a
possible alternative route to the event. We were in a holding pattern as
the Hannity event ended and Sheriff Joe came
through the door from the meeting and headed toward the vehicle I was
driving. He asked me why we weren’t ready to roll and when he heard the
news that there was a possibility that we wouldn’t be able to get through the
protestors he said, “That’s not going to happen. They are not going to
stop this man from speaking.” He got on the phone and directed his
deputies on how they should handle the matter, saying, “I want those streets
cleared and I want that to happen now.” He then went into meet with
Donald Trump and asked him what he wanted to do and the response was a quick
and resounding “Let’s go”. When we arrived in Fountain Hills the amount of
Trump supporters was unbelievable. A sea of people as far as the eye
could see. (The media seemed to ignore that fact). Bottom line,
Donald Trump spoke to that massive gathering because he and Sheriff Joe refused
to cave into bullies. That is the only way to get it done and a sign of
True Grit in both men.
