I am in Washington to attend Turning Point USA’s first-ever Young Black Leadership Summit. Today’s highlight was a visit to the White House, where President Trump addressed the group in the East Room. We arrived at the East Entrance to the White House around 9:30, started going through security at 10:00, and were in the White House proper by 10:30 or so.
At 11:30, Ben Carson warmed up the audience for the president. This is what a portion of the crowd in the East Room looked like as we waited for President Trump to appear. There were lots of MAGA hats in evidence, many of which Trump signed when his speech was over:
Trump got a rapturous reception from the Turning Point audience, which sometimes bordered on the rowdy, to the president’s evident delight. He began by acknowledging the arrest of the bombing suspect, whom he did not name. Nor did he comment on the partisan dimension of the bomb story. He praised law enforcement for speedily solving the crime and denounced political violence. He said that the Republican Party is the party of unity for all Americans.
The crowd at the Turning Point summit is the Left’s worst nightmare–hundreds of young, articulate, thoughtful African-American conservatives. We chatted with some of them, mostly students from colleges across the country–a math major from Stanford, a filmmaker from Columbia, a political science major from DePaul. They sounded like pretty much any group of conservatives at a Trump rally: “USA! USA!” “Build that wall!” “Trump! Trump!” In short, it was fun.
This is the first couple of minutes when Trump emerges to shouts of “USA!” and begins his speech by talking about the bomber:
The Young Black Leadership Summit continues with a dinner tonight and a full slate of programs tomorrow and Sunday.
Yes, “FAKE BOMB” “bomber”.
Mr. President, you can quote me on this, The “bomber” is as much of a “bomber” as Elizabeth Warren is a Native American.
Troll them, Mr. President!
The “bombs” were basically inert. I have more dangerous stuff in my garage.
An antifa-acting Cesar Altieri cannot be a Trump supporter.
Nonsense. We have our fringe just like the Left does. It's just that their "fringe" is MUCH longer....
You mean you think the dems would not have staged an October surprise for the most important election of their lives?
“The Filipino-Italian fake bomber and fake Republican!”
His life term in prison will not be fake.
I think democrats are completely capable of running a “false flag.” The whole Kavanaugh debacle proves there’s not much that’s too low for them.
Nevertheless, a Trump supporter with impulse control problems doesn’t have a damn thing to do with me, Trump, or any of Trump’s other supporters, no matter how much famous liberal grifters assert differently.
Yep, and he's as much of a "Republican" as he is a bomber. If this guy were as politically active a Republican as he's been made out to be, then why would he attempt to hurt their chances right before the midterms? This whole story stinks from top to bottom.
Because he’s crazier then two bed bugs!
There’s crazy on the conservative end of politic. It’s just not a resume enhancer like it is for Rats so fewer!
Agreed - the timing is incredibly suspicious
Don’t be surprised if we find out a FBI agent/asset gave him the “bombs” to mail.
“This is HIM, omg..!”
Just GROSS!
I’m already bored out of my mind with this story. Will be ignoring the news tonight.
I still say false flag
CRIPES!!!! My eyes are crossed!!
WHOTH WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT!?
