Public fair.
Kicked out GOP for making the news and us for inciting by sharing photos.

The Brotherhood of the Confederacy is still there.

We shared pictures on Facebook,including one witj Josh Hawley posed with "Uncle Sam". The local news responded and showed up to the fair. Within 15 minutes of them leaving we were informed we had to leave.

Kicked the other thread because it was a follow up from earlier.
I am in a small town right now and my signal is constantly in and out. It is easier to link for the moment.

It was easier to link to.the earlier story while trying to find a strong signal. Walk five steps here and your signal drops.

I am in and out at the moment with.signal drops in several areas but what it says happened.

Uncle Sam: new chair of Cass Co.MO GOP.
He set up a shooting gallery with pictures of Dem.candidates and Senator McCaskill. He called them all abortionists,handed out toy pistols and encouraged head shots. He set up with the GOP Johnson Co MO and the University of Central MO College Republicans.

People took pictures last night,shared them on Facebook and Twitter. KC Star picked up the story. Channel 41 and Channel 5 out of KC reported from the fair. Shortly after they left the GOP was told to leave,then us. They gave no reason but made comments about the bad publicity.

The Confederate sympathizers are still there.
