Full title: Las Vegas survivor faces backlash after standing to greet President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump


Thomas Gunderson shot in the leg during the Las Vegas massacre on Sunday found the strength to stand for President Trump when he visited recovering victims in the hospital earlier this week.

Since then, Gunderson has received an overwhelming amount of positive responses and well wishes. But the survivor has also received a lot of negative reactions from Facebook users who were critical of his choice to stand for the president...

A wounded man shows class and patriotism by standing for the President and some people make petty and disgusting comments about it.

Some day these so-called journalists will learn a new word to replace ‘backlash.’

The Left is going to push this too far one day. And on that day all Hell is going to break loose.

More proof, as if any were needed, that when the Left accuses people of hate they are projecting their own hatred onto others.

Hey, ES. Thanks for posting.

Not that he should have to, but I think this guy can take it.

I’ll bet some would have been ecstatic if he got up and then took a knee in front of Trump.

I could envision a State of the Union address where every single Democrat takes a knee when Trump gets to the podium. It is possible this “take a knee” gesture lives on not in the context of the National Anthem but as a way of showing disrespect to Trump.

Funny thing is, he would have stood if Obama was still the POTUS and he walked into the room. He respects the Office.

What do these animals expect the next time a Dem wins the Presidency. That we’ll just forget all about this disrespect and personal attacks. My prediction, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

And he probably would have gotten some "backlash" from pinheads on our side of the aisle. Which the New York Slimes and the Washington Compost would have used for front page headlines in 96 point type, at least.

More's the pity...

Gunderson: Regarding all of the bigoted, hateful, racist and ignorant comments I have received, I say two things, “f’em.

Thank you and goodnight.

The tide is already turning. It is the Trump haters that are losing their jobs and getting ripped on social media. The NFL controversy is another situation where Trump is winning and the haters are losing. It hasn't quite reached up to the upper levels of Hollywood but there will be a time of reckoning for them too.

The Internet is forever and all the hateful rants by so-called entertainers like Jimmy Kimmel will be pulled up on YouTube in the future. It won't look very good for them, that I can tell you.

And yet they all went nuts went SC congressman Joe Wilson uttered, "You lie," during obama's SOTU.
