40. When the BSA leadership comes out ...

... with a strong and undeniable condemnation of this stunt, I'll consider supporting them again. Ex scout myself, and was an asst. scout leader for a few years in the early 90s. I understand that they were in a tight spot on the invite. But until organizations like that condemn his bull shit, it will go on unchecked, and we run the risk of becoming accustomed to it. Also, much of the country doesn't know the BSA policy, and currently think liberals are making a politically correct mountain out of a molehill. The BSA MUST get out front and center and call out his stunt, and dis-invite him from returning next year (they would sure as hell boot little "Jimmy" out if he so flagrantly violated a fundamental policy, right?). Otherwise, they are complicit in Trump's theatrics, and have lost my support. Sorry. They seem important to you. But whatever you thought they were, they're apparently not.
