Rally featured haters

Wed., July 5, 2017

I found Nina Culver’s June 25 article, “Second pro-Trump rally draws smaller crowd” disturbing. Not the part about low numbers as that was the good news.

What is disturbing is Lesley Haskell and her hateful speech. Comey, to her is a “freaking … piece of crap.” John McCain is “… too stupid because he’s too old.” She proceeds to tear up their pictures. Sounds hate-filled to me.

Yet Larry Haskell (public servant) says “they have a message of hate,” meaning Democrats? I think the hate is in his back yard.

The rally sounded incredibly disturbing. Thankfully only 200 haters.
