IMO it would have been better if you had mentioned how this was set up by the question that was called out to him by a real ‘fake news’ organization as he was boarding the helicopter to leave for the rally. The ‘Send Her Back’ chant was totally choreographed by the vile tRump 2020 campaign.

People love to go and see the circus but that doesn’t mean they want to join one.

Brian Kilmeade quickly jumped in with a defense, saying “It gives MSNBC and CNN something to focus on as opposed to a raucous speech that not any of the 24 [Democratic candidates] could possibly have done.”

“Raucous speech” - just what we need for today’s politics. Fuckwit!

Absolutely. Someone realized that four years later screaming “lock her up” and meaning HRC might hit a lot of people as, well, just dumb (the koolaid slurpers will chant it until they die).

So they had to find a new chant for the mouthbreathers. Now they have it.

Oh, yeah, and what happened to Wall??

“Her history, words & actions reveal her great disdain for both America & Israel.”

Piss off.

“Not a good look for Trump”

The entire FOX response before SQUIRREL!!!

While you may be right in many instances… I firmly believe that those attending tRump rallies are the exception which proves this rule.

Some people are just there for the stench of the elephant crap.

I going to mow my lawn this morning before it gets hot.
as for trump and the gop, I have run out of words and need to let the hate subside some.
I never had this kind of hate in my soul until he came along and began his destruction of our country.
A real time soap opera with real time consequences.
others have vanished for far less.
have a nice day!!!

As Josh has said, its Trump’s authoritarian politics. Say something outrageous and get the GOP to meekly agree. It shows that he’s basically driven out all except the deplorables from the party.

I would like to meet these alleged Democrat friends who privately admit to that dweeby guy* their concern about the “enthusiasm” and size of the rallies. If you draw a hundred-mile circle around literally any point in this country outside the more desolate regions of Nevada or Alaska you would find enough lame-os to fill that hall and yell and cheer for their ignorant loser champion. Those people aren’t going to knock on doors or sit and phone-bank people. People yelled and cheered and chanted at those rallies right up until the mid-terms. Nobody is worried that idiots cheer for Trump.

*dweeby Guy Benson, who’s pretty much what you’d expect.

Students of history, pay attention! You’ll no longer have to watch grainy black & white recordings of Hitler’s rallies and speeches - just tune into Trump’s latest hatefest.

Can someone ask Mark Walker why he “struggles” when a crowd chants a certain racist phrase, but has no comment when the President tweets the exact same language days before?

I understand you exactly and fully concur.

All the people who were supposed to serve as the ‘adults’ surrounding Mr. Trump are gone now, and he has the GOP totally under his control. What could go wrong…?

Resist. Go mow the lawn, pick some flowers and take a break from this. Then put your energy into doing something positive. Many people are saying that trump is a racist and want nothing to do with trumpism…

XExactly. It’s all about the performance. Fox measures success not by what’s said or the truth of what’s said, but by how many offensive slogans are chanted and how loudly the crowd screams.

President Trump’s supporters are now chanting for the forced deportation of a sitting U.S. Congresswoman because of the color of her skin, at rallies that look indistinguishable from cult gatherings.

That seems like something that would have been so profound just a few years ago that it would have shaken the Earth. In 2019, it’s just a Thursday.
