MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man charged with assaulting a 13-year-old boy who refused to remove his hat during the national anthem believed he was doing what President Donald Trump wanted him to do, his attorney said.
Attorney Lance Jasper told the Missoulian he will seek a mental health evaluation for Curt Brockway, a U.S. Army veteran who became caught up in the heightened animosity and rhetoric gripping the nation, and convinced himself that he was following the president's orders.
"His commander in chief is telling people that if they kneel, they should be fired, or if they burn a flag, they should be punished," Jasper said.

I call BS on this defense. I say that the attorney (who is probably a liberal) made up this story because that it fits the narrative being pushed these days. Trump is causing all of this! BS

More likely the lawyer with no defense options, so he reaches for the “scoundrel defense” and blames Trump!

And people shooting cops a few years ago, they were just doing what Obama wanted, right?
