Trump to Protesters Booing John Glenn: That’s Okay, We Have to Respect John Glenn

TRUMP: "When Pearl Harbor was attacked, one man who immediately  enlisted to defend his country was John Glenn. For the next seven decades, he devoted his life to serving the American people, which he did from the cockpit of his bullet riddled fighter jet. Tough times. In the weightless silence of his Mercury space -- [booing] That is ok. We have to respect John Glenn. I think they are actually on our side, they just don't know it yet. They will be soon. [applause] But John was also in the weightless silence of his Mercury spacecraft, and later in the halls of the U.S. capital. Our nation mourns the passing of one of our great heroes. He was a giant among men and a true American legend who inspired generations of explorers and dreamers and we will honor his legacy by continuing to push new frontiers in science, technology, and space."
