Instead of shielding this person, Let us identify him and put a huge spotlight on him and his rag.

The elites are beginning to realize that Trump pumping his fist, standing and bleeding after being shot is have a huge effect on Democrat working class voter and minorities. It shows that Trump is a tough, resilient leader. Biden in contrast is frail, demented and corrupt.

That’s not how journalism is supposed to work. But no surprise here.

UNTIL the editor is named, this is just a story for people to believe in.

I believe there is probably a 90% chance of this being true but since no one has been named it is just a wish story.

I wonder how many people have been killed or hospitalized from looking at that dangerous photo.

They have already scrubbed it from all the search engines. You can’t find a single photo of a bloody Trump in Butler.

Luckily I already saved a copy.

I will post it later when I am at my main computer.

I think you’re right. I was at a mall yesterday. The mall is in a Democrat region. The folks there are mainly old-school, Blue Dog Democrats.

And one store already had that picture for sale, framed. Many different sizes. The owner wouldn’t put it out if he didn’t think it would sell.

This ain’t 2020.

The Deep State doesn’t have its knee on social media’s neck.

What little credibility the federal government had in 2020 has evaporated.

Same deal with media.

The sheeple are coming around to the view that patriots like us on Free Republic have had for decades.

“unnamed editor slammed the photo as “dangerous””

The “unnamed editor” is a wuss. If the photo is so “dangerous” then he or she should be able to come out and say it rather than hide.

Imagine if the LAAP-dog media had declared the inspirational Iwo Jima photo "dangerous" because it might rally Americans to defeat the Japanese.
