UPDATE: The Beto campaign denies this ever happened. I would like to reiterate that my post quotes the VFW Post 4006 Commander. So… you can choose to believe Beto’s campaign or the Commander of the VFW post that hosted his rally. Beto’s campaign denying this doesn’t make it untrue. Would you put it past them to DENY DENY DENY after this kind of negative feedback?
If you want proof that the Left has nothing but CONTEMPT for America … look no further than Ted Cruz’ challenger for Senate – Beto O’Rourke.
He recently said there is nothing more AMERICAN than disrespecting our flag and those who have died to defending it – and now? Well – he wants our flag wiped out.
I mean… it could offend someone, you know? Someone who hates America… and obviously THOSE are the votes he’s looking for.
You think I’m kidding?
Beto’s campaign team recently rented a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall to hold a rally in…
and they demanded American flags be taken down.
Yes, really. At a freaking VFW hall. You can’t make this up.
O’Rourke rented out a Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Navasota, TX to hold a campaign rally. According to VFW Post 4006 Commander Carl Dry, O’Rourke’s campaign insisted the VFW Hall take down its American flags.
“I do not normally attend rental events, but I attended Saturday to make sure things ran smoothly,” said Dry, who noted there were only two requests he could not allow at the VFW Post. “They wanted to open the doors (to the Flight Deck Lounge) and I couldn’t allow that 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 he was going to put up instead.”
He wanted them down because the left hates the very foundation our great nation is built on.
Just a few years ago I would have said that was a gross exaggeration – but how else do you explain this?
This seems to be a pattern with O’Rourke. He supports protesting the national anthem, he wants to take people’s guns away, and his campaign team sees no problem asking a group of veterans to take down their American flags so he can have an American flag free rally.
This is an instinct thing, folks. When your campaign staff does that, it is a reflection of the candidate himself. It is more and more clear that Bob O’Rourke is not just okay with protesting our flag and national anthem, but he’s okay with getting rid of them altogether.
Don’t want an American flag?
Feel free to hold your political rally in Mexico, Beto.
