Trump's base already busy attacking Meghan McCain

[highplainsdem]

I knew it wouldn't take long, but I was still stunned to see that a nasty article about her eulogy for her father, published at the RWNJ Gateway Pundit site, already has over 1300 comments, almost all of them vicious, attacking her and her father and the Obamas and Clintons for good measure. Deplorables in full mindless pack-mentality cry.

And then there's the RWNJ on Twitter who intends to complain to all branches of the military to try to get the soldiers at the funeral who applauded Meghan McCain court-martialed.

And no, I'm not going to link to these nitwits.

But I did check to see how much howling they were doing already...

1. Interesting...wondered why her brothers were not clapping...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Maybe they didn't think it would be appropriate

to applaud for a family member.

7. Also, both are military officers and knew cameras would be on them.

Technically, Trump is their boss. They likely respect that relationship far more than Trump ever will.

15. Actually, only one of them is an officer...

...John IV is Navy Lieutenant and Jimmy is a former enlisted Marine who is now a Sergeant in the Arizona National Guard.

Other than that small discrepancy though, your post is spot-on. I have no doubt that their personal sentiments echo and mirror their sister's but because they are military members appearing in uniform on-camera, they're aware that any public display of what might be construed as "insubordination" could have consequences, either real or imagined.

19. Because people don't applaud at church services. It's not an entertainment.

More than one writer said they had never heard a round of applause at a service in that place, though none thought it was inappropriate, under the circumstances. All attributed it to the tension of the times we are living in.

2. Bots, bots, bots, true believers....

F-em.
I do not care for her. I have heard& read her saying nice things about the apricot hellbeast, I have heard her say rude things about HRC. But it ~is~her fathers funeral. They are awful people.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Think you just answered tons of

questions about Dingle Berrys so called base. The real fake news comes from Putin's Bot Farms.

13. It's mid evening in Moscow & StPetersburg. Work to be done !

[dalton99a]

4. Russian trolls were out in full force on the YouTube feeds

during the service

[Elwood P Dowd]

6. Are the freepers freeping out today?

Well, at least the ones that didn't have a KKK commitment and were hanging around their 1998 website.

8. How low can they get?

It was her father's funeral for god's sake!

[bronxiteforever]

9. Russian propaganda. Given the extent of Russian cyber infiltration

It’s impossible to believe comments are from real people I don’t look at any comments because of the robot factor. I am sure there are Dead Enders but there is so much static from bots.

10. I hope the reaction from deplorables has been an eye-opening experience

If she returns to The View and resumes playing footsie with those who despised her father, it will be disappointing.

[Horse with no Name]

11. How dare she say America has always been great

WHO are these people???

[ffr]

12. One outsider would almost conclude that they aren't tRump supporters so much as cult followers.

cult
/kəlt/
* a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
* a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
* a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.

14. Of course they are.....and so what....let them expose themselves for the scum they are....

There are far far far more of us who are on the other side....

They will not prevail....love and truth will.....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Yup. FReak site and CONS tree house are wallowing in cesspools of hate against McCains too. . . . nt

[Takket]

17. i someone refer to her as a "black widow witch"

[Duppers]

18. I hope her very RW hubs is happy.

"Ben Domenech... is an American conservative writer, blogger, and television commentator. He is the founder and the publisher of The Federalist, host of The Federalist Radio Hour, and writes The Transom, a daily subscription newsletter for political insiders.

He also co-founded the RedState group blog."


Reap what's been sown.

20. Lots of ugly comments on the Fox Facebook page on any mention of the funeral

Man, trump really made his followers hate McCain.

[oberliner]

21. They hated him before Trump

[peggysue2]

22. This is being amplified by Putin's influence campaign

Hamilton 68 keeps tabs on sites pushing this garbage. McCain's Memorial and Meghan McCain are mentioned, tallying up high numbers by the usual suspects.

These cult-like responses help Pooty do his work more effectively.

The worker bees are busy, busy.

[Flaleftist]

23. Courtmartialed for applauding "America was always great"

There are some seriously mentally ill Trump supporters.
