It's come to this. We should all be ashamed but, of course, we're not.
Trump won't condemn any incidents like this - why would his supporters?
The most hate filled, divided, U.S. society since the mid 19th century.

Two small examples of a much broader problem.
A Latina woman was with family visiting from Guatemala when she says they were verbally harassed by a white woman for conversing in Spanish at a Virginia restaurant.

Quick question Horsey, does an American citizen have the right to ask another person in their local area, are you a legal citizen or are you a visitor?

Then reverse the roles....I'm on vacation in Costa Rica, and I'm traveling out of the tourist areas with a friend who lives there. If a Costa Rican citizen comes up to me, in his neighborhood, and asks me the same question as in the previous post, what's the difference?

I'll take a stab at it.
It is wrong, just like people verbally attacking both Pelosi and McConnell in public restaurants, at the suggestion of a sitting congresswomen, Mad Maxine, and a FAILED presidential candidate, Hillary, because people should act civil, no matter what their so-called leaders tell them.
That what you meant?
Or was it that a couple of random people acted badly and YOU think you have just proven the Trump is the Anti-Christ and his followers are druids?
I condemn that kind of behavior, and I support Trump so your theory is moot.
How man DEMOCRATS - elected officials of this country - have condemn the attacks on McConnell?
What a pathetic little whine.

Yes, under the 1st Amendment, you have a right to make an ass of yourself in public, as the woman in the video demonstrated.
You also have the right to make an ass of yourself on the internet by blaming this incident on Trump or anyone else other than the woman herself.

You have people of all walks being harassed in restaurants...that's the new MO...thanks Dems...

Both of you had no problem addressing the situation quickly and succinctly, but Horsey does have a problem...How and Why?

Thanks for admitting that it's wrong.
I agree that public figures should not be confronted in restaurants.
Regardless of their beliefs and affiliations. It's a cheap shot, by any standards.

Yes...the American citizen has the right to ask another person this...or anything else that the "American citizen" is curious about. And the other person also has the right to reply: "What business is that of yours?". Which, by the way, is my more polite reply when someone tries to remind me that "This is America"...and that I should converse "only in English here".

He should stand up and tell theses people to ignore Mad Maxy and Hillary and act civil in public.

As disgusting as she is, is she any worse than the guy that verbally assaulted Mitch McConnell in a restaurant? Did Trump enable that guy, to the point that he grabbed McConnell's doggie bag and threw it in the street? I didn't see any libs here disowning that guy.

He shouldn't have done that either. They are doing it on NFL time with the implied consent of the owners.
Trump speaks a lot on knee-jerk reaction rather than laws or principles.

Wrong conclusion on your part Clocker, the owners never implied anything of the sort, NOR the sponsors who pay outlandishly for advertising, NOR the fans who paid big bucks to watch football live on THEIR time.

It's implied consent if they let it happen with nary a word nor action. That's what "implied consent" means.
Wiki:
Implied consent is consent which is not expressly granted by a person, but rather implicitly granted by a person's actions and the facts and circumstances of a particular situation (or in some cases, by a person's silence or inaction).

What did the 49ers end up doing? What stand did Jerry Jones take? What pressure was put upon the sponsors to have the NFL stop the bleeding?....Your argument is a nothing-burger and you can eat that empty calorie rhetoric all day long, if you wish.

I don't care if people hold signs on either side, or do non-violent confrontations.

Finally, after 8 grueling years of globalism, we have an American President wishing to help Americans. Not Europeans. Not Hondurans. Not Cubans. or Venezuelans. Not Mexicans. Not Canadians. Not Chinese. Not Russians.
... but Americans. Trump is a BAD man. I don't see why he's becoming so popular and why he's president of the US of A.

I think the simplicity of the message is what is tripping up the left. Trump has firmly planted his political flag in American soil, and the left has no choice but to look un-American to be different. :pound:
His policies are rather simple. Tax cuts. Jobs. America first. Reduce govt regulation. Security. Who actually doesn't want that? How do you fight that and not look un-American?
