Our political elite has sold out our country bringing the Enemy inside. It’s no surprise the enrmy forces try to use our system against us.

They’ll move their violence and intimidation that they practice today on our college campuses into our streets. Like they’re already trying to do in NYC, Boston, SF and LA.
this is like the kkk doing a parade in Atlanta..I cant imagine muslim day would be well received in OKC
