Alek Skarlatos was one of three young U.S. soldiers on the right vacation at the right time when a terrorist attempted to launch an attack on a train in Paris, France last summer. Skarlatos, along with friends Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler, successfully stopped the gunman and disarmed him from his weapon of choice, an AK 47. The heroics of these young men earned them praise from the people of France and the U.S., medals for bravery at the Pentagon and, in Skarlatos' case, celebrity status, as he competed on "Dancing with the Stars."
Yet, Skarlatos found out very quickly how people can turn on him. All he had to do was post a picture of himself on Instagram fishing and wearing a "Trump: Make America Great Again" T-shirt.
While some of his followers praised his presidential choice, others attacked him. "Racist" and "uneducated" were among the insults hurled at him. One especially nasty commenter called him a "small-minded bigot." That's not all he called him (but the graphic language is best not placed here.)

The media brainwashing is so good
No bigot like a leftist bigot.
Racist? Bigot? What does race have to do with this? Oh yeah... a liberal was talking.
Good solution to this - don’t use social media.
The media is a pack of pikers compared to public schools.
“The media brainwashing is so good”
and the audience so stupid.
The left only wants you to express your opinion if you agree with them. Otherwise, they denigrate, call names....anything to keep you from disagreeing with them. It’s an understatement, but they are spoiled brats on steroids.
France will continue letting in refugees who some are/will be terrorists and their people will keep silent about it, yet call others stupid for supporting someone who wants to bring an end to letting in refugees when nothing is known about them. That explains why France is in the shape that it is right now.
Like the IRS - Guilty until you can prove your innocence
And your judge is the very same bureaucrat who decided you are guilty.
The executive branch has taken away our constitutional right to presumption of innocence while the bobbleheads in Congress and the Supreme Court twiddle their thumbs.
Apparently, ain’t nobody “innocent”.
"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' 'Chuck him out, the brute!'
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;"
Kipling had it right...
Exactly. Its a cesspool.
In this unfortunate, skewed world, the left hates the good for being good.
I was thinking about some of the things going on these days. Maybe a little more aware today as it is the opening of the RNC Convention in my city.
At what point does this “protest” crap, that has so many people worried, scared, and a city in gridlock of barricades...and this isn’t protests by RNC people...it is the opposite parties minions.
I applaud the courage of those delegates attending the convention, but when does the ‘protests’ become intimidation? I was also considering how much this crazy violence actually makes me pull further away from democrats. Why would anyone vote democrat/Hillary and give nod to the violence being perpetrated by Soros supported groups, voting Hillary is not just accepting, but supporting, encouraging, and gives jack-booted thugs credibility.
How much of this protest stuff, how much of these social media attacks...will get people to be too afraid to even vote, speak, or even change their vote. It is intimidation and the more I see of it, the more I believe it is illegal and lawsuits and challenges need to be filed.
Real yahoos are liberals.
Of course, the irony of their small-minded bigotry is lost upon them.
There's hope for this country.
Just tell the a$$ hats to stick it where the sun don’t shine. Screw them.
Just wait until all the violent conservatives protestors show up in Philly for the dnc convention. Oh, never mind. If Trump would just drop out, all the violence would stop immediately right?
We have gotten nothing but positive comments on our Trump shirts.

You must be hanging out in the “wrong” part of town. LOL!
