Title: Assaults on GOP
Post by: bedlamite on February 13, 2020, 10:38:16 AM
There have been a few assaults on the Republican party recently. I'm expecting this to get worse the closer this gets to the election. Just posting this to keep track of them.

Make Fifty Great Again

Daniel Sprague of Staten Island said he and his wife were celebrating his 50th birthday in Nashville and he was wearing a hat that said “Make Fifty Great Again” and a shirt that said “Making America Great since 1970.”

But suddenly, he told Nashville’s WSMV-TV, a woman approached him and took a swing, striking him in the face before fleeing.

Even something similar to a MAGA hat triggers them.

'Even something similar to a MAGA hat triggers them.'

I wear a Philadelphia Phillies cap a lot of the time. It's the same color red, but has a big white stylized letter P on it. More than once I've wondered as I put it on if some moron is going to assume it's a MAGA cap just because of the color and try to make an issue out of it.

On one of the youtube channels I watch the guy worn a red hat instead of the his usual black hat and there were some interesting comments from some SJWs to say the least. The hat was just red, no logo, nothing.

I have a collection of caps from little league teams I've coached, include Reds and Nationals, I should start wearing them.

Has it been established that the alleged perp is a Bernie Bro?  I've read that he expressed contempt for Trump, but that's all.

Can't find it now, but I remember reading he was affiliated with the Bernie campaign.

There are a few bad apples from time to time, but that's nothing compared to the armed gangs of white supremacists roving around Richmond, refusing to hurt anyone, and picking up their litter.

It's okay because we're all racists who deserve to die.

Had that been my kids or grand kids it is possible one or both of those people would not have survived to face charges.

I would have doubled this guy's sentence just because of the smug look on his face in the mug shot.
