So are you condoning the actions of this racist attacker? If a conservative sees a person wearing Obama, Hillary or other extremist politician attire, would you say the same thing about them attacking the person wearing the attire?

Might as well. I'm sure it'd be a better gig than some of the others we send them on on behalf of Trump.

Wearing Trump gear is the same as carrying the American flag. He is the President of the United States and we are PROUD of it.

I'm not the poster to whom you are responding, but nope. People are responsible for their behavior, and that includes both the assaulter and the assaulted in this case. But one thing that everyone seems to be ignoring is that this guy was not casually driving around town with a Trump bumper sticker on his car; he showed up in MAGA gear with a camera crew in tow. He was looking to incite something, and further, he then contacted the kids' mom on social media in an attempt to coerce the kid into appearing on his YouTube channel after the fact. Nothing in that says victim to me. It tells me that the guy is an obnoxious jerk who was out to create trouble, which he got in spades.

They were there to gather data. Would you say the same thing about CNN or MSNBC, Huff Post if there videographers were attacked because the person being videoed didn't like the fact that they are Hillary supporters?

Who are you kidding? He was there to start a fight, and he got exactly what he wanted, which is a huge boost in clicks for his YouTube channel and a shot at internet fame. I'm not advocating violence, and the kid was totally out of line and should be charged with assault, but I'm not buying the "he was just there collect data" argument at all.

There is a video of a huge fight that occurred on the walk of fame. A hispanic anti Trump guy who I guess is for tolerance and anti racism is yelling the N word at a white Trump guy. Then a free for all ensues. A bunch of losers on both sides.



I really think this kind of stuff will be looked back at in the future as some indications of what will turn out to be a civil war. There is just way too much anger on both sides.

The stars are paid for by the person who nominates them.....

Paraphrasing what someone stated on Twitter:

Thanks to the left constantly destroying Trump's star and the maintenance people in Hollywood constantly replacing it, the left has assured that Trump's star will always be bright, shiny, and new.

Good job lefties!
