Betty Bowers tweet; "When America sends its people to Orlando, they're not sending their best."




Mrs. Betty Bowers @BettyBowers
“When America sends its people to Orlando, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing racism. They're bringing xenophobia. They’re ignorant. And some, I assume, are good people.” #TrumpRallyOrlando

Snip from Orlando Sentinel...

One man approached an Orlando Sentinel reporter and, unprompted, said he was had a handgun under his jacket. He said Secret Service agents approached him and asked him to go home.

The man, who declined to give his name, said he declined the Secret Service’s request.

He said he didn’t feel unsafe at Trump rallies, but “maybe on the walk over here.”

“Of course, we’re expecting counter-protesters,” he said.

Just finished watching the U.S. Women's soccer match with Chile, replay. Seeing all the American fans in the stadium in red, flags, painted faces etc., then took a look at the Orlando KKKlan rally dressed all up in red and MurKKKa garb. It is amazingly obvious and the intellect, tolerance and real patriotic difference of the real America versus the trump base. Hope someone much more tech than I, would post a picture of the two Americas on DU.

Good!

Between the Slantinel's non-endorsement, and the image of these MAGAts sweltering, my Schadenfreude batteries are charging up nicely.
