NFL legend Hershel Walker paying price for supporting Trump
Hidden Americans ^ | June 27, 2016

Posted on 06/27/2016 10:50:10 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

From TMZ:

Herschel Walker says he’s paying the price for supporting Donald Trump — telling TMZ Sports he’s been dropped from multiple speaking engagements for publicly backing the GOP candidate.

Walker was one of Trump’s first big celebrity endorsers — praising his former “Celebrity Apprentice” boss as a brilliant man who will truly make America great again.

But after he went public, Walker says he started getting axed from speaking gigs — most recently getting canceled from an event in California because organizers were afraid Walker would attract anti-Trump protesters. ..

Despite the backlash, Walker says he will NOT stop supporting Trump — insisting he’s the best man for the job.

This stuff doesn’t play. Human beings, not just Americans, resent this form of facism.

Bet that there isn’t one leftist weasel that has the balls to tell that to Mr. Walker’s face.

interesting how those not supporting trump use the same tactics the fascists used in Germany and then accuse trump of possibly being a fascist.

Unless we get an indictment or Bernie pulls off an upset at the convention, Trump's the ONLY man for the job!

My Trump 2016 Make America Great Again Flag that is flying in front of my house is causing a stir. I have had the Police here, the sheriff’s department and the MI State patrol. I have been ordered to remove the flag as it is violation of the sign ordinance. I simply stated the flag is not a sign in new Jersey and gentleman was taken to court for the same violation - the court ordered that the flag could remain up and that city in New Jersey had to change the ordinance in order to include the word “flag’ within the ordinance.

since the ordinance has to be rewritten than the city council must aprrove the changes in the ordinance . Than the city council must have a public hearing on the ordinance. If there are objections to the ordinance the city must hear the objections in each and every separate incident of the violation. So basically the change will no be made well into 2017.

Just wait to till July when I place the Hillary for prison 2016 sign in the front yard - since we have a voting being done in August in Mi I can have the sign in the front yard for 30 days prior to the voting and thirty days after. with Novemebers election i am allowed to keep the sign up for 45 days prior to the election - there is a window of 10 days that I must have the sign down. Will abide by it - No way no how.

It is sad that hershel walker had to loss speaking engagements and the like for endorsing Donald Trump. Wish him the best maybe some conservative organizations will pick him up yet.

When Herschel Walker was traded from the Dallas Cowboys, the trade was solely responsible for the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowl titles in four years. By extension, I hope Herschel’s pulling for Trump brings Trump the Super Bowl of politics: the presidency of the United States of America.

Hershel Walker is a true American which means he does not let someone else have his brain. He informs himself and makes his own decisions. Dictatorship is not what freedom is about, but the dictators keep trying to force their views on everyone else.

Trump will enlist pro athletes for his campaign. Bobby Knight won Indiana. Athletes will draw more then Hollywood types. Walker and other sports stars will step up.
