But at about three minutes, it shows an image of an Antifa member. Then Kim, the North Korean leader. Then Ocasio-Cortez, then Castro, the late Cuban leader. The images are seen as Reagan arrives at this point in his speech: “As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries ...”


The Fresno Grizzlies my new favorite baseball team.

They were correct the first time. No apology is necessary.

I’m guessing the same thing would of happened if President Trump’s image was in there instead.

Baseball team runs right-wing propaganda video in Memorial Day salute
Bob Collins May 28, 2019, 10:06 AM

The Fresno Grizzlies put the “minor league” in the minor leagues.

On Memorial Day it somehow thought it was appropriate to show a Memorial Day tribute that listed a member of Congress as an enemy of the people.

It’s another insidious attempt to hijack Memorial Day for political purposes.

The team has apologized:

What do expect from the land of Congresswoman Omar?

What a great video. It is amazing that they had to go all the way back to Reagan to get an inspirational speech such as this one. No other President will ever measure up to his courage.

AND the Grizzlies got it EXACTLY correct as to where they placed her. What a shameful traitor to We the People she is.

Texan for #TEXIT.

Why are they apologizing? Those are her people and she has stood by them in word and deed.

By apologizing they’re actually insulting her position. Which I’m sure they don’t realize but is sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

Don’t be daft, antifa would’ve torched the place if they had been associated with Trump.
