The Republican leader posted this on his official communications forum of Truth Social yesterday: “If they spit, we will hit.” This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles. The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated! First, why do Republicans constantly use derogatory nicknames for people in other parties? It feels "low-class" and weak. Secondly, why do Republicans feel like spit is worse than the flag poles and pepper spray used during the "peaceful protests" of January 6? Thirdly, I'm still waiting to hear why Republicans are using my tax money to pay Ashley Babbitt's family. And finally, what compensation are we giving to the families of the fallen officers, and the now disabled officers who responded to that "peaceful protest"?
