" Hey Congress do something! End gun violence now!"

An AMAZING thing just happened in the nationally televised Philadelphia Union game (in Washington v. D.C. United). The Union's Alejandro Bedoya scored in the 3rd minute, ran to the corner where the on-field mic is located, and screamed, "END GUN VIOLENCE NOW!"


Apparently the whole quote may have been "Hey Congress do something! End gun violence now!" I'll post video as soon as someone puts it up. Bedoya has frequently played for the U.S. national team #USMNT

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."
