Seriously? You’re not allowed to wear a hat! Lmao.
Can you imagine being forced to quit, because the logo says “make America great again”, but you could have a picture of Castro on your shirt, and it’s all good
If Trump had actually fought the communists in Vietnam instead of sending some poor black kid from the ghetto to die in his place by his rich father hiring a doctor to falsely claim he had “bone spurs” on his feet, Trump would not use that term communists so lightly. He would not be claiming that members of the Democratic Party in the USA are communists. He would know the difference, that the communist are evil and intent on the destruction of America and torture and mutilation of our soldiers. But Trump thinks soldiers are losers, men and women who gave their lives for their country, who put their life on the line — their life for their country –to Trump are nothing but losers. “They get nothing out of it” according to Trump. Truthfully, Trump is nothing but a coward and a draft dodger who refused to serve his country in its hour of need. And he should be treated as such. Traitor Trump! But then again because he lies about everything we'll never really know what he thinks, will we? Like most things he says, it’s all lies because he never fought the communists in Vietnam. He never fought for his country. He only fights for himself. He only cares about himself. He’s a draft dodger. He should be in jail. But he isn’t. He’s alive because he didn’t go and fight. He let some poor black kid from the ghetto to die in his place. Maybe that’s why he hates black people so much. He knows somewhere in that deep dark corrupt brain that they died in his place and he is a coward
we need to start kicking the crap out of these people .
European Americans call themselves white but are pink?
African Americans call themselves black but are brown?
I am a light brown Maori. I call myself a gold supremacist.
That's FASCISM!He demonstrated his support for something,it went against the socialist,fascist,communist forces in our govt.and now he's resigned.
Didn't they play this off as a tactical thing ? Lmao
HELLO BOTS! How’s CHINA JOE working out…💩
If Moore Vs Harper gets up in the Supreme Court,democracy will be toast
You just gotta know that fascism is a very real threat in America.
Vote blue in 22&24 or until the republican party of fascism is no more.
I don't really know why anyone is judging him for his political beliefs. Lay off the man and let him express his opinions.
There was more Capital police in on January the 6th it wasn't a insurrection. Capital police open the gate and shove those people in through the gate. This was all planned by the Democrats once again to try to make president Trump look bad. Backfired we know who the guilty parties are for January 6th.
THE MERCENARY NOW ON PRIME………
The q guy was doing the same thing
lets see if this guy shows up as a regular on FOX.
The govt is cause of all the people's problems, wake up.
Classic case of democrats going after political foes. TRUMP2024
Magat🐛 🐛 🐛 🐛
Wonder how FAUX will twist this story!!
Omg a rioter was black! Quick make up a lie so he can seem like a hero. Don’t want BLM “peacefully” killing people and burning cities again.
Lmfaoo Maybe he’s just a RROUD REPUBLICAN dummys
Trump's GQP of insecure MAGA Y'all Qaeda terrorist Karens know the 1st Amendment and consciously neglect the 1st Commandment. Beware of GQP sheep in GOP clothing.
No good deeds go unpunished.
Dems are COMMUNIST
Racists 😈😆
People are so dumb. I can tell from the picture that he’s not with the group and put the hat on for safety or because his helmet was knocked of and wanted some head protection.
MPGA MAKE PEDOPHILIA GREAT AGAIN VOTE BLUE
I’m not 100% sure I buy it but the fact he’s wearing a mask makes me think it’s true. Red hats don’t wear masks
It would be good to know more about this former police officer.
Kudos to him if it was done as a ruse to rescue his beleaguered colleagues. Why was this not reported earlier? Why did he not file a police report about what he did and why? If he did file a report, why has it taken so long to surface?
What are his political leanings? Has his social media or text history indicated sympathy towards the MAGA mob?
It’s just very circumstantial at the moment and he should be given the opportunity to prove his version of events.
As he should.
Now hiring illegal aliens. $6 an hour. Sorry it's only business. Now the Spanish-American people have to compete with that price. You voted for the right person. Let's go Joe Biden
They always refer to “far right “ but don’t refer to “far left”. Could that be because ALL left are far and nut jobs?
Stop blaming MAGA hats for your failures, Democrats.
It's a nice hat
The dumb runs deep
You prolly shouldn’t have to resign but oof
Love that hat. Good for you TK.
Interesting 🤔
Sreggin aren’t people
Can't fix stupid but the red hat will make it easier to identify.
I have to admit when Hillary first called these people a "basket of deplorables" I winced and recoiled in embarrassment, but now..
Trump supporters: Wears Auschwitz sweatshirts while attacking the capitol Also Trump supporters: Gets mad when Biden calls them fascists..🤣😂
BLM! ✊ Unless of course you aren't a liberal. If you don't vote for Biden again you ain't Black.
I thought this was ingenious of the fellow.
