MAGA hat-wearing victims are still victims
The Boston Herald ^ | 02-28-2019 | Herald Staff

Our social media has been awash with stories of harassment and bad behavior in the wake of the unlikely election of Donald Trump. Most recently, the Jussie Smollett assault hoax captivated the nation as the purported hate crime was embraced as hard news by many media outlets around the country.

The details in Smollett’s account brought suspicion to its veracity immediately for anybody willing to look at the story on its merits, but for too many, their confirmation bias nudged it into the “true” category prematurely. For a rather thin and flawed tale, the Smollett “assault” gained a lot of mileage in this country.

Rarely are the stories of assaults against Trump supporters reported on with such fervor. They may get cursory attention from local outlets and perhaps a nod from a national organization, but there is almost never a national media firestorm over such events.

KEYWORDS: hatecrimes; maga; mediabias; socialwarfare; trump
Attacks against Trump supporters are all over Twitter and Youtube and are just a Google search away. We understand the national media consider themselves this president’s opposition, but their lack of balanced coverage degrades their credibility and misinforms the public. Maybe instead of getting together to editorialize against President Trump, they could resolve to do

Whatever you want them to do, they won’t.

Big Media and their Rat sycophants are America’s greatest enemies, and KNOW they are at war against all for which we stand.

I got in a fight with a lib on Facebook who thinks it is horrible and discriminatory when people say mean things about Muslims based on their religious beliefs, but is perfectly ok with anyone who physically assaults Trump supporters based on their political beliefs.

“Get a Maga hat and a body cam and a big payday is waiting for you.”

Really? How many DON’T we hear about?

Ever notice we never read about more than 3 or 4 babies left to die in hot cars every summer?

There are usually about THIRTY, and Big Media doesn’t want to lose subscribers.

We owe thanks to the Boston Herald Staff - they’re taking on our cultural elite thugs... that takes nerves of steel. I’m going to assume they’ll be flooded with Democrat War Room letters (from people pretending to be conservative Trumpers) and those fake letters - like fake hate crimes - will be created to keep the MSM in line. They’ll make us look awful.

God help the Boston Herald Staff if they continues to see reality... Democrat War Rooms and the Deep State will go after them... and make us look like monsters - and them like fools.

May the Herald keep looking with their own eyes... it’s a safeguard for all traditional Americans... Again... thanks for being there Herald Staff...

Perhaps, with the ease that it took to establish ‘hate-crimes’....we should move onto a hate-clothing crime, and insist that people have the right to attire or styles. We should insist on attire-rights, and insist people respect us because of our attire.

Do not underestimate the pure hatred the left has for MAGA and all things connected to President Trump. They essentially want us eliminated. That is not an understatement.
