Boy Scouts issue milquetoast statement but no condemnation of Trump.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/25/boy-scouts-of-america-trump-speech-national-jamboree-240929


“The Boy Scouts of America is wholly non-partisan and does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy,” the group said in a statement Monday night, according to news reports. “The invitation to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition and is in no way an endorsement of any political party or specific policies.”


How brave of the BSA to stand up to Trump!

They refused to condemn it, so now they have become it.

You own it BSA, orgy yacht talk and all!

I write you off now as a right wing republican hate group.

When I was a scout we actually took the oath and laws seriously.

Sad to see those thrown in the garbage, very sad.
