1:02 PM — Alex Swoyer: “That was not the easiest entrance,” Trump jokes. “Felt like I was crossing the border, actually.”
12:57 PM — Alex Swoyer: About 600 people at a sold out luncheon are dining, drinking, and chatting waiting for Donald Trump to take the podium at the California GOP Convention at the Hyatt in Burlingame, outside of San Francisco, California. The real estate mogul entered the ballroom roughly an hour after he was set to speak.

Before 9 a.m. a small group of protesters began to gather with one even coming through the door and chanting inside the lobby, but quickly was escorted outside. Sources tell Breitbart that by noon, thousands of supporters surrounded the Hyatt and police were in riot gear.
12:56 PM — Jennifer Lawrence: In a crowded room awaiting Donald Trump’s speech at the Burlingame Hyatt, where the California convention is currently being held, Jim Brulte, the Chairman of the California Republican Party, told convention goers that Donald Trump was running late to no fault of his own. A large group of protesters attempted to block Trump’s motorcade from reaching the convention for his speech.

Brulte remarked: “People who don’t believe in free speech just tried to block Donald Trump from getting to his speech.” He went on to congratulate the Burlingame police department for an outstanding job. He concluded, “I don’t have a lot of friends in the SF protest movement, so we are starting late.”
