Dang....some vicious retweets follow that tweet. Not surprising....the lefties get paid to troll social media and sling their hash.
Why aren’t Amnesty International in Iraq to supervise the crucifictions, beheadings, and live interrments?
I hope the Amnesty INternational delegates brought their flak vests. The demonstrators are doing most of the shooting and they might just become another whitey target.
