Donald Trump supporters at the Missouri Republican Caucus on Saturday attacked fellow attendees who supported the former president's opponent, a prior member of the "grand old party" reported.
Former Lincoln Project veterans affairs adviser Fred Wellman, an ex-Republican and current Democratic campaign consultant, reported the aggressive development on social media. Wellman also recently hit retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a Trump adviser who played a prominent role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, with a sanctions bid in a defamation lawsuit.
On Saturday, Wellman conveyed information he said he received via text about the caucus in Missouri. "I have a friend who attended the Missouri Republican Presidential Caucus today," he wrote Saturday. "They asked Nikki Haley supporters to line up in the middle of the auditorium and were booed and screamed at by the Trump supporters."
He continued: "They attacked fellow Republicans. Feel like democracy to you?" Quoting a reported follow-up text from the source, Wellman then said, "The woman who spoke for Haley couldnt stop shaking and crying. It was so scary.

About 100 protesters assembled outside the building during Gov. Mike DeWine's daily update on the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic to rally against his administration's stay-at-home order and closure of non-essential businesses and schools.

(16,432 posts)It wasn't and it was used to embellish the story where embellishment wasn't needed, and indeed, is actually a LIE.
And, if it wasn't the intent of the OP to mislead the reader, he should have included information at the bottom of the pic indicating where and when it came from.
isn't that a scene from a recent movie?

'Hitler's rage perfectly mirrors the movie meltdown of actor Bruno Ganz in The Downfall when the Fuhrer loses it spectacularly in the Berlin Bunker in 1945 as the capital of the Reich is falling to Russian forces.'

* unless the candidate failed to commit to the pledge him or herself. Then you are not bound.
No one should HAVE to support drumpf when he didn't make the same commitment.
Haley has been pussyfooting around the promise to eventually support him. She's really avoiding saying *yes*. This is one way she could bypass her promise.

Now that I think on it, maybe that should be on a sign at every Confederate cemetery in the south..."Here lie fools - Useful rubes in a political and economic power game."
