Can't vouch for the source....

I do not normally attend rental events, but I attended Saturday to make sure things ran smoothly,” said Dry, who noted there were only two requests he could not allow at the VFW Post. “They wanted to open the doors (to the Flight Deck Lounge) and I couldn’t allow that and they wanted to take the flags down, I didn’t only say no, I said hell no, you don’t take the flags off the wall. I can’t believe any American would ask us to do that and I don’t know why he wanted them down or what he was going to put up instead.”

O’Rourke’s campaign is denying that anyone with the campaign asked it to be done.

Hmmmmm.....

The VFW guy knows what happened first hand.

The Beto spokesman can only repeat what others told him.

The VFW chapter commander told Mr. Roark: “Hell NO.” Good for him.

The word of some political campaign hack is not worth spit against the word of the members of the VFW Post.

From the Navasota Examiner:
“I do not normally attend rental events, but I attended Saturday to make sure things ran smoothly,” said Dry, who noted there were only two requests he could not allow at the VFW Post. “They wanted to open the doors (to the Flight Deck Lounge) and I couldn’t allow that and they wanted to take the flags down, I didn’t only say no, I said hell no, you don’t take the flags off the wall. I can’t believe any American would ask us to do that and I don’t know why he wanted them down or what he was going to put up instead.”

Beta O’Cuck doesn’t want to trigger his supporters by appearing with American flags.

Or Beto’s spokesman could be lying through his teeth.

Somebody is.

Still can’t get over that name “Beto.” Sounds like a mafia figure.

It was the name of the town drunk in the small town where I grew up. ;)

Nickname designed to fool his constituents into believing he’s Mexican. He’s not.

BTW, anyone else wondering why, if the demand was in fact made, the O’Rourke campain thought the VFW would be cool with the request....

Any FReeper or conservative who is still bitter over the 2016 election needs to get over it, STAT.

Voting for Ted Cruz, if you live in TX, is a complete no-brainer. If you are still pissed that Cruz didn't get the nomination, or tried to sabotage Trump, then that's your problem and you need to work it out.

DEAL WITH IT. GET OVER 2016. Support Cruz, a mind-blowingly brilliant Constitutional scholar and debater.

I would have to drink heavily too at any lunatic liberal campaign event for Beto or any other lunatic liberal.
The VFW should have cancelled the rental when told to remove the flags.

Just one reason why I wonder about the VFW, from late July....

VFW scolds members for heckling the press during Trump speech

We’re approaching a 1st Kings Chapter 18 junction in our Nation. With kElijah it was, “Choose! Serve God, or Baal?!” In the U.S. it’s become, “Choose! Serve God, our Constitution, our Banner and our Anthem? Or turn from God, keep killing babies, open the borders and eliminate Law Enforcement?” JMO.
