California police chief pulls out of charity event for fallen officers after Trump supporters are invited (Huckabee, Sanders)

[Absolom]

Thousand Oaks Police Chief Tim Hagel pulled out of a charity football game to honor fallen police officers after he found out organizers had invited Republicans as well.

Fallen Officers Foundation Vice President Mike Randall said Hagel quit the Blue Bowl charity flag football game and convinced a number of sponsors to pull out after Randall refused to disinvite Republicans and Trump supporters, such as singer Joy Villa and actor Scott Baio, according to Fox 11.

"[Hagel] basically said over and over in the conversation this is not Trump country, that slogan 'Make America Great' is not favorable, popular, within 1,200 square miles, that we don't want Republicans here. I could not believe it," Randall said. "We were totally floored by this comment, 'The only thing,' and I quote, 'The only thing you coulda made this worse, Mike, was to invite Dick Cheney and Sarah Huckabee Sanders,' and I went, 'Wow are you kidding me?'"

Maybe because the trumpers would try to make it into another of their typical Bund rallies as opposed to actually being about fallen officers.

Gee, I wonder why this elected official chose to throw a fit a take his ball home? Maybe, I dunno, pandering to his base.

So he decided to be proactive and put his political agenda before the cause to save folks from someone else doing the same? BRILLIANT!

See, this is what a news story looks like....

Somebody who IS WILLING TO GIVE THEIR NAME provides info to the media, and then the media reports it.

No “unnamed sources” required.

Why are democrats so intolerant toward others with differing political opinions?
