Ammon Bundy Quits Militia Movement in Solidarity With Migrant Caravan
NY Mag ^ | 12/8/2018 | Eric Levitz

...Bundy naturally just disavowed the militia movement in solidarity with the migrant caravan, suggested that nationalism is actually the opposite of patriotism, and said that Trump’s America resembles nothing so much as 1930s Germany.

Last week, Bundy posted a video to Facebook in which he criticized President Trump for demonizing the Central American migrants who were traveling in a caravan to seek asylum in the United States.

“To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — but he has basically called them all criminals and said they’re not coming in here,” Bundy observed. “What about individuals, those who have come for reasons of need for their families, you know, the fathers and mothers and children that come here and were willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country and benefit from not having to be oppressed continually?”

Bundy went on to observe that “faith is the opposite of fear” and that “we have been asked by God to help, to be welcoming, to assist strangers, to not vex them.” He also provided his viewers with a quick fact-check of the president’s claims that liberal billionaire George Soros had orchestrated the caravan, and that there were terrorists embedded among the migrants.

Bizarrely, the following that Bundy had amassed by threatening insurrectionary violence against Barack Obama’s government did not take kindly to his call for solidarity with the oppressed of Central America.

“It’s like being in a room full of people in here, trying to teach, and no one is listening,” Bundy told BuzzFeed News this week. “The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don’t want to associate myself with warmongers.”

Sad.

Taken over by the libertarian meme, it seems.

But hey, now the Media will love him as much as they can use him to destroy the U.S.A.

No. No.
He was fighting Obama’s Federal Government. That makes him a wise and righteous saint. So says the wise of FR.

Never had a lot of sympathy for this libertarian-anarchist nitwit.

Good heavens. What do these people not understand?

Our 'immigration' system is broken. The proof being massive illegal immigration.

Trump is trying to stop it and fix the system.

The problem of illegal immigration won't be solved until we stop illegal immigration.

“faith”
Kind of like leaving your money out in the open and trusting no one will take it.

He needs to chop off his wiener to protest society’s oppression against sex changers, too.

Bundy is an opportunist in that all he cares about is himself.

He was against the BLM and 0bama over grazing rights for HIS cattle.

Now he’s against President Trump because he needs illegals to provide labor to run his ranch.

All the people who depend on illegals are the ones who are opposed to the border wall.
