Trump greeted at Georgia-Alabama game with roaring mix of cheers, boos
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 1/8/18 | Greg Bluestein

President Donald Trump was greeted with a booming chorus of cheers mixed with some boos as he took the field Monday for the national anthem ahead of the college football title game between Georgia and Alabama.

The president, flanked by military members, stood near the 40-yard line with his hand on his heart as the anthem played. Another wave of cheers and jeers followed him as he left the field.

It is Trump’s second visit to Atlanta since he won the election, and several dozen demonstrators protested near the stadium. Some of them sought to remind him of his harsh words about the city: Before his inauguration, he said in a tweet that the congressional district that spans the city is in “horrible shape and falling apart.”

Shortly after arriving in Atlanta, Trump signed a bill that grants Georgia its first national historic park at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site near downtown Atlanta. He signed it shortly after Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Alveda King, boarded Air Force One.

Nice.

The media had to hear boos (im sure there were some as usual when pols show up to a sporting event)
But I love the overwhelming college crowd cheer POTUS.

Media gets smacked with reality again outside their bubble. They’re probably thinking “WHY IS ANYONE CHEERING HIM! DON’T THEY KNOW HE COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA AND IS ALSO INSANE?!!”

Allstate just ran some typical social justice warrior commercial during the game depicting a young black girl skiing competitively and had some idiotic text about BIAS at the end. Typical White Shaming garbage.

And as he sung the anthem the fans joined him in singing. Was truly moving!
The left doesn’t recognize patriotism when they see it!

(See tagline). The could not continue the racist divide if they were patriots

All we heard were cheers & “USA USA!”

I told my wife (visualops) I expected the propaganda media to poo-poo the crowd response every way possible.

Kind of makes me less concerned about the YUGE drop in Trump’s numbers at exit polling in the Alabama senate race.

Fake news strikes again most likely

Still, Alabama? A democrat?

Moore should have dropped out. We could have won that seat.

The King site is not Georgia’s first national historic site. The Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park has been there a lot longer. Whether it’s the first I don’t know;but the MLK site is definitely not.
