His name alone would suggest he’s on the other side. But Juan Hernandez was wearing his bright red “Make America Great Again” hat as he exited the Donald Trump rally that hot June evening in downtown San Jose — and became a target of the taunting.

“It was easier to come out as gay than as a Trump supporter,” he said.


Sad but true. Good to see that some in the media are remembering the violence by the anti Trump people in the past

Now that trump has won ... many on the left ... after rioting want the right to forgive and forget. NO WAY
these aholes beat up Trump supporters blocked traffic and committed untold damage to person and property in their little tantrums. There needs to be a reckoning ... if we let them skate they will do it every time they don’t
get their way. it is time for them to get a major ass kicking and pay the price for their actions

Milo said zactly the same thing.

Also Peter Thiel said it “Easier to come out as gay than as Conservative..”

The people begging for acceptance are THE VERY LEAST likely to exercise it.

That’s the other zinger they like:

“accepting of alternative viewpoints”

They SAY they love it, but they hate it.

THEY are the intolerant ones.

I am the putative HATER, yet I’m WAY more tolerant.

Trump supporters are law-abiding. They expected they would not be set upon by thugs while the police channeled them into a gauntlet. The police didn’t do their jobs, so we’re following the law.

There’s a short SOL to sue govt. entities. A lot of the thugs will be summonsed into court as well, but they are prolly judgment-proof. After all, they took min. wage jobs from the Democrats to serve as their Brown Shirts. The `rats were punished last Tuesday as well. It ain’t over yet.

President Trump’s Justice Department should open an investigation of the San Jose PD and Mayor’s office for massive civil rights violations of Trump supporters the day they take office.

The sooner they carve up that thug outfit the better.

Now that is an excellent thought. How about a consent decree that they have to hire & promote 75% conservative white men until the political and racial makeup of the force gets up to the national average.
