Trump's America
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.

As stated above, I would never expect you to see what is wrong with this.

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?

Nice attempt at deflection, RR.
You should know better.

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 can thank people like Maxine Waters and the Democratic party (the party which once said we must all accept the results of the election and move on, when they thought CLINTON WASN'T SUPPOSED TO LOSE) for the current atmosphere.
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.

Sharp post.
Pretty much cut to the chase!
Be prepared for a multi-colored cartoon coming about you.

My point is that Trump enables people like her.
He does absolutely nothing about it.

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".
