  • The secret service monitoring the situation doesnt give me great confidence.
  • Lock Him up...Conold for prison Convicted sexual abuser, convicted fraudster, convicted of felonies, with more counts coming.
  • He’s old, Father Time and the grim reaper don’t need human help to finish the guy. At 78 you should be thanking your lucky stars, every day is a gift.
  • Why is there always a seggso fender involved in these things? Remember the Kyle Rittenhouse incident, where it turns out just about every person attempting to injure him was one?
  • @Cancel-The-GOP
    Jeez , some old man makes a comment on social media about Trump, and they arrest him , ridiculous...💯💯💯
  • @sunshine1450
    Thank God they are covering this …I’m surprised because they never cover anything factual.
  • Did you mention that President Trump 🇺🇸 stepped out from behind the bullet proof glass to go check on someone in the audience who fainted? He does things like that. President Trump 🇺🇸 loves ❤️ America 🇺🇸 and Her people. I can't say that about other candidates. Can you?
  • @davej6312
    Syvrud looks like an NRA republican.
  • @user-jk8sh2zm3l
    Powerful words “I thought it was dangerous, but I also have a job to do.” WOWWWWWWW
  • Vets REALLY don't like it when you denigrate another man's 24 year service and say rich donors deserve more respect than those who were wounded or died defending our country.
  • @brenthood2337
    Leave Trump alone, democracy needs him around so we can kick his ass in November.
