Rog has steadfastly criticized President Trump for being what he considers to be a bully. However very recently, the president's political enemies--the Democrat party, the left wing news media and the Hollywood elite--has gone completely off the rails in an attempt to bully anybody that works for or supports the Trump administration and its policies.
First, DHS Secretary Kristen Nielson was harassed while she was peacefully having dinner at a DC restaurant. A group of aggressive buffoons who strongly oppose Trump's immigration policies--laws which have not been changed for a few administrations, ironically--yelled and chanted and caused such a scene that Nielson and her husband were forced to peacefully leave the establishment, so as not to ruin everyone else's chance at a nice evening out at the restaurant. The next day, after the video of the scene hit the media, more isiots gathered outside Nielson's house to harass her and her family. Is this how we should be having a civil discussion about an important issue?
Hollywood has-beens Peter Fonda and Tom Arnold have both been busy on Twitter, tweeting nasty and disgusting things about what should happen to Trump children and grand-children, Fonda going as far as saying 12-year-old Barron Trump should be ripped from his mother's arms and put in a cage with pedophiles. Arnold suggested that Trump's 4-year-old granddaughter Chloe should be subject to similar degradation. Real nice huh?
White House Press Secretry Sara Huckabee-Sanders was out eating dinner this weekend with her husband's family, who, ironically, are very liberal and do not like her boss very much. But...the employees at the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, VA recognized her and immediately called their owner, who like all of the employees, is very liberal. The owner immediately drove back to the restaurant from her home and kicked Sanders and her family out, just like white restaurant owners used to do with black patrons back in the days before Civil Rights were respected. Remember when lefties criticized a Christian baker for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding? But did the owner stop there? Nope. She then followed the Sanders party across the street to another restaurant, rallied some more Anti-Trump buddies and began chanting and heckling from outside the restaurant where the party had gone. One of Sanders' in-laws tried to explain that Sarah and her husband had gone home and the remainder of the party all didn't like Trump, but that didn't deter the fanatics.
You would think this despicable behavior would be condemned by the left...but it wasn't. It was pretty much universally applauded by Democrat lawmakers and pundits in the media. Loudmouth Congresswoman Mad Maxine Walters even encouraged more people to do the same to anyone who works in the Trump Administration. "Let them know they are not welcome anytime anywhere," Waters said.
What happened to civil disagreement? And what happened to the great "uniter" President Obama? He was the one calling for civility all during his preidency but has been suspicially silent on this matter. It is specifically suspicious since during his administration, illegal border crossing families were being seperated in much the same way they are now, but nobody cared back then.
All this ON TOP OF the Mueller witch hunt and the FBI/DOJ shenanigans.
Why is this behavior being condoned and even encouraged? Most likely because the left is not happy that Trump's policies, against all their objection, have been working to the benefit of the people from whom Democrats cannot afford to lose support. Black and Hispanic unemployment is at record low levels. Female unemployment is at a generational low. Wage stagnation is a thing of the past. GDP growth is at 4% when "experts" predicted Trump's economy would NEVER top 3%, just like Obama's never passed that mark. Consumer and Small Business confidence are both soaring.
The left not only loathes Trump for being an outsider crashing the establishment party, but they are infuriated that he is succeeding where they failed and that he is gaining in voter approval. The left has no positive plan to combat this. They are resorting to hoping they can open the border and let in more illegals to vote for them. Yes this is bullying, on a very desperate and unseemly scale. But it won't work. The more the left tries to bully Trump, the more people see that Trump is right about them and they will flock to his side and to the polls.
