Veterans Against Trump
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 VoteVets 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I really appreciate the Vets against Trump. I don’t know why but there is way too many that’s out there, when they know what he said about John McCain and how he dodged the draft and call the other ones all losers and suckers so on so on.
@G Cornell never a war started under the Democratic watch
Dems Cheating. Vote 4 TRUMP. 👈 Stolen Valor.
Marc Anthony Jr. Failing BCT doesn’t make you a vet.
TRUMP DYNASTY::::::Donald J Trump 2016-24. Don Jr. 2024-32. Ivanka 2032-40. Eric 2040-48. Barron 2048-56.
“I don’t know anybody called the Proud Boys…. Never heard of them. They’re just my coffee boys”….
Kirk Moore They sound like they are proud to be boys, never to grow up to be productive citizens. Peter Pan wasn’t real, boys🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂🍼🍼🍼
Republican Voters Against Trump
❤❤❤👊👊 RVAT 👊👊❤❤❤
Republicans and Veterans for Trump. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Jose Gutierrez Trump labeled KKK a domestic terrorist group, No other POTUS has done that. Proud boys are multi racial , Chairman is Enrique Tarrio. Facts matter 💯 Opinions, wild accusations and assumptions is all anti-trump personal and Democrats have.

@BR549 OU812 There are thousands
@Marc Anthony Jr. He called them Suckers and Losers but sure Man.
Proud Children better learn to do some basic math. There’s like 10,000 of us to every one of them.
@Peter Ramos < Uneducated.
@Peter Ramos < Worse than just uneducated.
@netzoned You’re right netzoned; they are a total disgrace to what America should stand for. Puppeteer Putin is laughing.
@Emery Coppola Jr. … There is no way to say it, except to say it. Trump supporters are the most despicable, and yes, disgraceful, people in the history of the USA. To be a racist, or sheep, or imbecile, or suffering from psychosis, or worse, or a combination, or all, is about as bad as it gets.
@netzoned Many of them always excuse Trump’s demented and dangerous behavior and say absurd things like “I’m not perfect, either.” Well, neither was Hitler. Nor Stalin. There IS a RANGE of “not being perfect”, and not all of it is acceptable. What’s amazing is that Trump now claims to be the ONLY person in America who has no idea who the group (not worth typing their name) is and what they “represent.” Despite being briefed on them countless times. No idea. The “stable genius”.
The US Army should be ready to stop this mutiny.
Richard Isinu Really? Democrats have been president about half the time since the 20th century and not a single gun has been taken.
The US army needs to start rounding up blm and antifa members. They were the ones who started this

Doesn’t the military pledge allegiance to the Constitution ? Isn’t the President the caretaker of the Constitution ? Of the people, by the people, for the people ? Just asking as a concerned citizen of one of America’s longest & closest Allies. In 70 years I can’t remember seeing anything that resembled the “performance” by your current Commander in Chief during the bar room brawl with Joe Biden. Shocked? I have reached a point where I thought nothing could shock me, but that was beyond any new “norm”.
@Nick King I live in New York. Stop lying. 👎
AC Ricucci If you lose the election he will no longer be their commander-in-chief. I hope that’s how they interpret it
SERIOUSLY THERE IS NO HOPE FOR AMERICA IF TRUMP IS RE-ELECTED
There’s no hope for America if he isn’t reelected.
@Ken Bugbee Spoken like a Proud Boy that can’t get laid.
Trump is trying to start a “Race War.”
Yes! Then he will declare martial law and refuse to transfer power. 🤬🤬🤬
Yes he is!!!.
@Inglourious Basterd ; because he’s a useless two digit IQ P.O.S, that just learned how to use a phone!!!.
@nick smith ; thankfully not as stupid as you are!!!.
@Kathy M ; yes he will!!!.
These boys need to go back to gaming in their rooms
Mommy is waiting with their grill cheese, crust cut off
As soon as Trump gets what he wants from them, he’s going to act like he never knew them.
Your so correct. And he just said on the WH lawn. “I don’t know who Proud Boys are. I never heard of Proud Boys”
racqueenus
like the black vote the democrats get election after election?
John Thomas Touché.
John Thomas If I were black, I’d prefer someone who did nothing for me over someone who wanted me murdered by the police or sent “back” to Africa, where I’ve probably never been.
And those white supremacists will be jailed for disrupting the peace and other unlawful actions. Plus, they are spreading covid 19. They may die from covid 19 disease – they look pretty old.
The only good thing about trump is that he’s exposing the “patriots” like himself and their racism, they’ve been hiding in the shadows but now it’s time to officially get rid of them!
Those aren’t Patriots, they’re Nationalist…
Says the moron who has no idea what a patriot is 💯
STFU u couldn’t rid of crabs
He’s an overfed orange dog whistle blowhard
trump breads hate and everything wrong with America today…vote him out…
‘bread’? Please don’t leave comments. You’re stupid. Let smarter people fight Trump. This is too important and I don’t want my side to sound so fking stupid all the time. Vote Biden, but for the love of God, PLEASE do not leave any comments
@John Thomas You’re not helping with the stereotype of Liberals being ‘elitist’. 40 upvotes knew what J Naylor meant. Typos happen.
@Geralt Rivia exactly thank you….
When trump said that it sounded like he was giving a cue or sign… Then that now is proud boys matto
It’s called inciting violence; it’s a felony. Add that to the ever growing list of Chump’s crimes.
#voteblue2020 #bidenharris
Hate is historically America most deadly virus.
Well said.
Communism is the most deadly virus in the world
@Nicholas Parker Death is the most deadly thing in the world and you seem to be getting lots of it with more to follow it looks like.
Trump is a kkk member and so where his mother and father they bread their son to become a dictator to take over the United States.
Kenneth Akin He is, his robes are at the cleaners😏😏😏
He wants a civil war, even if he wins. This man is not a president, he’s the head of a domestic terrorist group.
@David Gainey are you guys serious? Did you not see how insane our president looked last night?
You liberals want a civil war
@Dave Schultz Do your research. During the Southern Strategy, the parties switched. Why do you think the South, aka the Confederate territories, are completely Repubican now?
@Dave Schultz It was over SLAVERY. Don’t you think the abolition of slavery is an honourable chapter in America’s history?
@Dave Schultz wrong, they had the same mentality as republicans but called themselves Democrats.
If only Hitler would have known to use trumps “I was just kidding” defense.
Didn’t he? I might be mistaken. I do remember Hitler ended up covered in gasoline and burned in a pit.
The debate, an embarrassment for the entire world to laugh. How many white supremacists does it take to replace a lightbulb? None, they think they are too good for manual labor.
A government never declares itself fascist. It declares anti-fascists as enemies of the state.
