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.)

Liberals calling for tolerance and peace see no problem with calling for violence against those who don’t support their agenda.
Racist is the liberals’ go to insult.
They are extremely intolerant of intolerance.
“In this unfortunate, skewed world, the left hates the good for being good.”
Does that allow any conclusion other than that the left is evil?
The obnoxious idiots seen on TV are largely paid astroturfers or just plain idiots. The people making awful comments about this heroic young man are only courageous when they are hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet.
If you don’t fall in line with the party line, do exactly what we say, how we say it, and when to do it you’re a small minded bigot.
"How dare a Trump supporting small-minded bigot like him save lives !!!"

I like your name for her:Hildabama.
Not sure it’s ‘mine’ but, if the pants suit fits.
Oh, boy!!!! I am a strong supporter of Donald Trump, so I must be an uneducated (Harvard, Ph.D.), bigoted, racist, fundamentalist (Orthodox Christian), warmonger (oppose all of Hillary’s wars, past and planned for the future).
Our Christian Brother Alek Skarlatos is a REAL HERO!!!!! Maybe those who are bashing him for supporting Trump need to rethink their views. And why are they supporting that dirty crook Hillary anyway?
You gonna change your handle to “Dr. racis’”? LOL!
“Honorary Serb”—complete with my tagline—is bad enough for most Hillary supporters!!!!
Works for me. :)
I think the word needs to be cure by a fist to the teeth of anybody who uses it. Wear gloves.
“You can take it to the bank, buddy.”
It would be nice to have *something* in the bank.
