As the French right-wing National Rally is seizing on fiery protests in the country for its pre-election pitch, so are President Trump and his Republican allies in the U.S.
The big picture: The Trump administration has used the unrest, which began over education grievances, to bolster its messaging on immigration and the threat of "communists," a group Trump has repeatedly claimed is threatening American civilization.

Muslims and Communists are literally burning and looting European cities and Axios call them a boogeyman?
👏 👏 👏 🏆 🍻

You can thank your Quisling government for THAT!
Coming to an American Metro City near you! *SPIT* Get OUT while you can!
