KENT COUNTY, Mich. — Subtlety was never the intent of the wedding decor for Audra and Jeff Johnson's nuptials. The couple married on July 4th in Kalamazoo, surrounded by friends and family donned in "Make America Great Again" hats.

“It looked like America threw up all over my wedding and I’m not sorry," bride Audra Johnson told WXMI.

Johnson says in addition to celebrating their love, she and her husband decided to use their wedding day as an opportunity to celebrate President Donald Trump. No detail was overlooked, down to the groomsmen's 'don't tread on me' cuff links. Each reception table featured a petition for an anti-abortion "heartbeat bill."

It’s not backlash.

It’s harassment.

She’s Philipino and he’s african-american. That has to drive the media nuts.

Groom’s father is a Jackass, he let this interfere with his attending his son’s wedding. What a small minded hypocrite.

Exactly what has Trump done that is Racist?

I love the idea - the couple knew what it would bring.

See tagline!

“Exactly what has Trump done that is Racist?”

He dared to win in 2016. Ergo, racist in the “minds” of liberals.

Not everyone in the couple's life was as accepting. The groom's father refused to attend. "He sent us a text message," Johnson said. "It said, ‘As long as you support that racist in the White House, I won’t be attending your wedding.’ Which is sad but we did have a lot of people that loved us and showed up.”

When the time comes, I'd let him know that he has grandchildren the day after they graduate from college.

If you don’t want to read mean, stupid posts, don’t post your pictures of (fill in the blank) on Facebook (or other sites).

One might say that people should be able to post MAGA wedding pictures and receive only positive responses, but then one would also have to say that all social media content should receive only affirmation from the public at large.

Of course, even if all social media platforms adopted “Just say nice things!” policies, someone could still post the pictures on FR, and I could still say the bridesmaids’ dresses are atrocious.

Merely the accusation totally unsupported by any factual evidence is more than enough for a highly suggestable, hyper-emotional member of a lynch mob.

NPCs just take their instructions which they download from the media and don't ask a lot of questions, they just run their program.

He had the audacity to have been born apparently.

It looks tacky and gaudy to me, but I didn’t pay for it and it’s their day to celebrate any way they choose. I don’t imagine they would sit for a news interview if they were eager to avoid controversy.

If President Trump is a racist; then ALL Democrats are baby killers.

BTW, not hard to find the MOH who hates President Trump. She looks like the left side of an NFL defensive line.

It’s about time we threw it in their faces, as they’ve been doing for decades. Before this is over, progressives should fear leaving their safe space.

“Johnson said if she were invited to a President Barack Obama-themed wedding, she would be happy to attend.”

We’re the tolerant ones in this country, not them.

Sad about the father. That’s petty. Jeff should run for office. He has the right name.

They look like they had a great time...may they have many, many happy years ahead in a great country and may the old curmudgeon see the light before the grandkids come along.
