Chanting USA, USA, USA while they kick the crap out of somebody, with their testosterone-maddened crap. Their vision of our nation is much different from mine. Sad.

It's funny that these people are the same ones who want to ban flag burning but have no problem desecrating a name of their country.

So un-American, turning 'USA' into an aggressive monkey sounding chant.

they had a surrogate on tv the other day (trump's African American minority outreach director, or somesuch ironic title) who REFUSED to admit the evidence of his own eyes, denying that any violence ever happened at trump rallies, despite the CLEAR depiction of a guy getting the forearm shiver while being ousted from the stands

These animals need to be repudiated completely at the polls in November. A clear message that this is NOT who we are.
