The same secret service that let the b**** close to the President? Good luck with that group.
I hope Fox News will cover the Mass so that faraway Freepers can watch.
Oh, you KNOW they will, and also will probably rerun it. Maybe make it a “special” in this weekend’s programming. ALSO, I’d be amazed if CSPAN doesn’t as well, and they definitely will rerun it.
What a precious man. What a loss.
Loved Tony, what a loss. He was a good man and in a far better place now, hoping for comfort and peace for his family in that blessed hope.
I hope that if Code Pink or any disruptors are charged with ‘incitement to disrupt a religious service’, or something with some teeth in it.
These people have been getting away with a slap on the wrist for way too long.
