They are abhorrent - and the media is equally so for not ever having mentioned them.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A group of students waving a Trump political flag and a 'Betsy Ross' 13-star flag at an inner city Grand Rapids football game have caused a stir.
The students were in the opponent stands at the Ottawa Hills home game at Houseman Field against Forest Hills Central on Friday, Sept. 9. Many wore red, white and blue colors.
Several Grand Rapids Schools parents said they believed the display, particularly the flags, were inappropriate and could be intimidating to those on the Ottawa Hills side with its significant percentage of minority students and parents.
They say the flags could even be interpreted as symbols of white supremacy and nationalism.

Anti-Semitism is often overlooked, ignored, or excused. But you are correct, he is an "equal opportunity bigot".
