1. Never will happen.

Trump wishes he could send his goons against protests like this. Erdogan is one of his personal heroes.

6. Couldn't agree more

Kudos to McCain for stepping up. A foreign government allowing their personnel and hired thugs to beat down American protestors on American soil is unprecedented and repulsive.

11. I Agree

President Erdogan should also be kicked out of the country. That type of behavior should not be tolerated in the United States.
