Trump soils the Boy Scouts

Post by brewster »

Is it really beyond this person that a speech to children shouldn't be political? They invited him as they've invited the last 19 presidents. Why does he have to dirty everything he touches? My son is an Eagle Scout, we looked past the public issues the scouts have had and saw the good. The Scouts have tried hard to bring themselves into the modern world and not be viewed as a reactionary old guard institution. This abuse of trust and good faith is as disgusting.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

He gave an explicitly political & partisan speech at the Scouts National Jamboree.

Were the reports I read correct that the Boy Scouts were booing Obama and/or Hillary? I would prefer Trump be apolitical but I guess you can't blame him for playing the crowd
