Sounds like you spend an awful lot of time on FB.

There's nothing in the article that said he returned the money.

NICE job of conveniently ignoring some of the right's divisiveness like vowing to block a POTUS in everything he did even before he took office. About time you folks stop the 'Good for me but not for thee' BS.

You are right. Nothing about him returning the money. Here's a quote from the Trumpeter that stormed off the stage. He didn't abide by his contract.

Minn. Orchestra trumpeter storms off stage in protest of performer's anti-GOP comments - StarTribune.com

Laureano said he sent texts and emails to his colleagues after the performance apologizing for “leaving them at a disadvantage.” He has not yet heard about any repercussions for his protest from orchestra management, but he said, “Obviously my contract says I’m not supposed to walk off stage during a performance.”


Also in the link above:

A quick glance at his Twitter feed and you’ll see recent posts lambasting Rosie O’Donnell, MSNBC, and newly sidelined ABC News reporter Brian Ross.

1st amendment. If Trump can spout off anyone else can too. If you don't want to listen you can do as the trumpeter did and leave.

Not at all. Seriously, I was sick of my conservative friends being able to dish out it out, but not able to take it.

I haven't posted anything political in 8 months.

Who changed what I was allowed to say and when? I don't recall anyone telling me I wasn't allowed to say Merry Christmas.
