Beto O’Rourke’s Campaign Requests VFW Hall Take Down American Flags Before His Rally There


Well of course

We cant have a HATE SYMBOL up can we?

Ted Cruz’s Challenger, Beto O’Rourke has made a name for himself by saying that he can think of “nothing more American” than kneeling during the National Anthem. We can now add stripping American flags from a VFW hall to things he thinks are good.

Well, this one certainly does. If this is actually his attitude, I don't know why he's even running, because he has no chance at election. Hopefully, the VFW will tell him to go fuck himself with a lit stick of dynamite. :mad:

Because it's a partisan hack site and an unnamed source. You should really at least attempt to think critically before blindly posting lies.
 
Such a handsome fellow.

It seems like most of the sites are partisan hack sites. I constantly see people quoting Slate and Mother Jones and Huffington Post and similar sites.

Those sites mostly source their claims but no one expected you to be honest about that.
 
But then again, neither is 45 so you may have a point :D

Too bad he's kowtowing to a bunch of anti-American shit stains....



If what is reported is true I hope the VFW tells him to fuck off.

Of course it’s not true.

As the hall was starting to fill up a young lady came up and said, ‘can we take the flags down,’ and I said ‘no.’ At this point in time I don’t know what she was referring to — we have a large American flag and a large Texas flag against the wall behind the stage as a back drop. We also have them on either side of the stage in the stands. Another young man came up and asked again. I was a little upset and I very rudely said not only ‘no’ but ‘hell no.’ Whether these people work for Mr. O’Rourke or not, I do not know.

We reached out by email to Joe Cunningham, the managing editor of RedState.com (we were unable to locate contact information for TheResurgent.com). Cunningham said that with the information currently available, they were standing by the story:

Based on your email and the story itself, I don’t see enough evidence to make a decision one way or the other (because we don’t know who said it doesn’t mean that the O’Rourke campaign did not, and if recent events have taught us anything, it’s that campaigns and politicians may not always be on the up-and-up) but I do trust [writer] Brandon Morse’s news judgment.

Our campaign absolutely did not request that any flags be removed or taken down from the walls. It is incorrect to say that we did. We have hosted dozens of town halls in VFW posts across the state and always ensure that the flags are prominently and respectfully displayed. As a senior member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, the Vice Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, and the Congressman for one of the largest military communities in the country, Beto is proud to have our flag displayed at events.

Dry told us that the VFW is non-partisan and will rent space for events to “anyone who isn’t threatening to burn it down.” Rental contracts include language that bars event organizers from removing anything from the walls or rearranging the venue’s decor. Of the fuss over the flag, he added, “Things have a tendency to get blown out context.”

From the horses mouths.

Aside from the fact that he is in the House Vetrens Affairs Committee, believe me when I tell you that bolded bit is true of all campaigns.

That being said, I've seen snopes caught BS'ing for the socialist cause enough I don't buy their bullshit even when they are telling the truth.

Might as well be a Slate, Buzzfeed or RAW site....even InfoWarz sprinkles grains of truth through their garbage, it's a primary ingredient in any nutritious and wholesome piece of political propaganda or conspiracy theory LOL

Even the articles from which this drivel started have Drys’ statement written like this:

"[O'Rourke's team] wanted to open the doors [to the Flight Deck Lounge], and I couldn't allow that," Dry is quoted as saying in the Examiner. "And they wanted to take the flags down. I didn't only say 'no,' I said 'hell no.' You don't take the flags off the wall. I can't believe any American would ask us to do that, and I don't know why he wanted them down or what was going to be put up instead,"

Yea, some staffer or something probably suggested it and someone has run with it to try and demonize the guy. Didn't want to single them out because it would look a lot more absurd to find out how non-issue this was in the first place.

If it even was a staffer. Lots of folks seem to think they should have input in how events are run, and will even take matters into their own hands. I would say from experience was more than likely was not staffers.

Those sources are not notably reliable; they cherry-pick what they report and omit facts that are in disagreement with their allegations.
