Philadelphia mayor calls Trump a "tyrant" after White House snubs Eagles
CBS "News" ^ | June 5, 2018 | By ALEX SUNDBY

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney called President Trump a "tyrant" who "is trying to turn this country into a dictatorship." The mayor made the comments on CBSN on Tuesday morning after the White House disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from a celebration for the team's Super Bowl victory.

"Cities need to stand up in this country, and many mayors have stood up in this country against this tyrant," Kenney said. "He is trying to turn this country into a dictatorship by ignoring the courts and by saying and doing what he wants, by ignoring the Department of Justice ... and in the end this will all come to a conclusion, and it won't be a good ending for him."

Kenney told CBSN's Vladimir Duthiers that the president "allies himself with strongmen around the world" and seemed to be "more comfortable" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Notice he is white.

Thus Sharpton and BLM others will shortly notice he is a white supremacist. How can he be otherwise?

If his lucky race card gets blown out of his wallet at a campaign rally and he will be mobbed and beaten before he stoops to pick it up.
Luck just ran out, honky.

More Winning, Love it. Philadelphia, PA should be one of our more patriotic cities - site of original upper/lower houses, liberty bell, etc.

Instead we have kneeling NFL players and socialist demoturds spouting off. I bet what really grinds Kenney is that he will not get a photo opp of him wearing his #resist t-shirt while at the WH. Screw him. Screw the NFL too.

Here is being openly critical of a dictator. Why hasnt he been spirited away or put in an insane asylum?

I dont imagine he understands of irony of the situation.

Dissing a team after it dissed you = tyrant in his world.

Thus tyrant has no meaning.

Signing upmteen Executive orders when you can’t get laws passed via the Constitutional legislative process while screaming “I have a pen!” THAT is a tyrant!

At some point FR people need to post more threads that speak favorable rather than the junk the media’s spewing against Trump. Otherwise we’re just following the pack instead of supporting the man we elected..

You mean like weaponizing the IRS, FBI, DOJ and CIA against your political opposition. That kind of dictatorial behavior, Mr Kenney? Dont remember you speaking out against Obama’s dictator ways.

Hey Mayor!

The 35 players refusing the invite did the “snub”.
So, get your facts straight and quit whining.

On the way in to work, this was the lead story on the radio station I listen to (ABC News). Everyone they talked to had a negative comment for the president. I suggest that there are at least as many Americans who applaud this move. But you won't hear one of their voices on the radio.

I thought the whole sports team meet and greet was a stupid waste in the first place; when only 10% of the honorees was want to come it’s an insult as a well.

Don't superbowl winners usually visit after they win? It's June. Something must have been going on and Trump ended it.

Yep.. he thought the Eagles were all set to embarrass President Trump and Trump yanked the rug out from under their scheme.
