Flag-stomping protesters fueling tensions at Trump, other events

MILWAUKEE – In a year when political tensions already are running high, a group of protesters is fueling the acrimony by showing up to political rallies and events with a large American flag – and stomping on it.

The members of the self-described “F*** Your Flag Tour” most recently popped up at a Donald Trump rally Sunday in West Allis, Wis. They posted themselves next to the line of thousands of people waiting to get into the Republican presidential front-runner’s event at the local high school.

They proceeded to lay the muddied flag on the ground and stand on it, triggering heated exchanges with those nearby.

One man shouted to the group, “My brother is fighting overseas for that flag, pick it up."

He got into an argument with the protesters and tried to get close enough to pick up the flag but was blocked and shoved. Police eventually had to lead him away out of safety concerns.

These Soros paid “protesters” have an agenda. Their goal is to incite a riot for the purpose of making Trump into a divisive extremist.

They intend to manipulate the truth once again along with their allies in the news media in effort to turn each little Trumpism, innuendo, each little nuance in each sentence spoken into an instigative event.

Let them know we know what they are up to, and it isn’t going to work around these parts.

What would happen if I, a White Christian Male, showed up at a Sanders event and proceeded to rip up and stomp on a copy of the Koran?

The flag stomper is a black communist. He’s got a red hat. Need to know what is on his shirt but that design is BLM or Black Bloc anarchist (but there are very few black anarchists. They can never get themselves organized).

Oh, and his rhetoric (a really stupid word when trying to describe his Marxist rant) is definitely Marxist, in case anyone asks.

Now the main question: Who is funding this “Tour”?

To #23. Wrong item to rip up and stomp. Re Sanders, not the Koran but “Das Kapital” and the “Communist Manifesto”.

The same for Hillary, the Red Closet Queen.

How Glenn Beck Says He Knows There Is 'Not a Chance' Cruz Will Be Trump's Vice President


Senator Cruz -- Dump This Dumb S.O.B.!

Glenn Beck to Vote for Hillary if McCain is GOP Nominee Glenn Beck - Why he would of voted for Hillary instead of John McCain Glenn Beck: McCain would've been worse Glenn Beck: I May have Voted for Hillary Clinton Glenn Beck: 'I won't vote for Trump.' (Even if running against Hillary)

Why would anyone be surprised that the "brown shirts" meme now in use by the Demagogic Party got its start in the mouth of the demagogue Glenn Beck?
