So, again sack of shitty oranges lies and lies and lies.

It's projection again, projecting his hate for HRC onto someone else.

Wondered if it was something like that. From my earlier post here.

"It could be the guy just held up a Hillary sign and got jumped on. Even if he didn't do anything or the crowd did anything the secret service could have just been protective of dipshit or the guy. Knowing what has happened to other protestors at his rallies. They will be interviewing him so hopefully we will know soon. So many possibilities on what happened."

Orange Cult members planted razors in campaign signs too close to the polls so the pollworkers would cut themselves...is this really happening?

On Breitbart a thread about the incident morphed within minutes to "a Hillary supporter attempted to assassinate Donald. Donald bravely retook the stage after the attempt. Now the MSM is concealing these facts".

Seriously, this country is screwed if this wave of utter insanity of 10s of millions of people keeps escalating. No other developed country has insanity anywhere near this level.
