‘This is disgraceful’: Trump slammed after blocking veterans group on Twitter
President Donald Trump is facing a backlash on social media after reportedly blocking a liberal veterans group on Twitter.
VoteVets.org accused the president of blocking their account on Tuesday. The organization is a political action committee that describes itself as the largest progressive veterans group in America.

VoteVets frequently used Twitter to criticize Trump. Recently, they used the social media platform to claim that the president himself was a threat to national security.
The Knight First Amendment Institute recently alleged that it was unconstitutional for the president of the United States to block fellow Americans on Twitter. The group said his account “operates as a ‘designated public forum’ for First Amendment purposes.”
Many people were outraged that Trump had blocked the veterans group.
He’s such a delicate little dandy, isn’t he?

Wow. Even by @realDonaldTrump standards this is erratic and nonsensical.

He disrespected a Gold Star family, and now he blocks veterans who have served our country. I am so ashamed.

Funny, because @realDonaldTrump said he loves the Vets – I guess he only likes the ones who want a white nation?

Trump is a freaking coward.

We’re with you, not the orange one. Thanks for your service.

Wow. For someone who campaigned on taking care of our vets, this is astounding.

Unbelievable. The orange buffoon continues to be an embarrassment to our country. Thank you for everything you do.

A strong leader can handle hearing voices of dissent. He is not strong, nor is he anything close to a leader. He is weak.

He is quite the snowflake, isn’t he?

Absolutely despicable. What a sorry excuse for a human, let alone the so-called potus.

POTUS can block @votevets but can’t silence them or the candidates they send to Capitol Hill!#TuesdayThoughts https://t.co/VSm5hU4rCy https://t.co/0tNthFdcp5

But he loves Veterans, to use them as a prop. Signed retired Veteran.

This from the person who says “nobody loves vets more than I do”. Sad! @realDonaldTrump

REVEALED: Kayleigh McEnany called Biden a ‘man of the people’ who connects better with the ‘middle class’ than Trump
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is a loyal mouthpiece for President Donald Trump, both in presidential policy and against his political opponents in the election campaign. She has echoed Trump's attacks on Joe Biden, calling him a "radical socialist" and using monikers like "Sleepy."
But on Monday, CNN unearthed audio of McEnany from 2015 during an interview on New York AM970, in which she offered a very different view.
"I think the Republicans run into a problem if it is Joe Biden and if it is maybe a Trump on the other side," said McEnany. "Because Joe Biden, one of the things he is remarkable at is really kind of being a man of the people and resonating with middle class voters. Feeling like — coming off as human. His gaffes — as much as we make fun of them — to a certain extent they make him look human. So not, since he's likable."

Trump whines that he shouldn’t be blamed for ‘Lock Her Up!’ chants — as his supporters chant it
President Donald J. Trump refuted responsibility for his rally cries of "lock her up" during a campaign stop in Martinsburg, Penn. Monday.
"Lock her up," the crowds chanted. To which Trump replied, "Now [the chants] are happening with [Joe] Biden because that's a crime family, frankly. But every time that happens, when they say, 'lock her up,' they always blame me and I have nothing to do with it."
Watch the video below.

‘Segregated South type behavior’: Americans are furious at ‘scared’ Texas’s Gov. Abbott deploying Guard troops to the polls
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced that he is deploying troops to the polls in the state, something that a president can't even do because it can suppress the vote.
“The Texas Army National Guard said Monday it had been ordered to dispatch 1,000 troops to five major cities around the state in conjunction with the Nov. 3 election,” San Antonio Express-News reported on Monday.
It sent people into flames of rage claiming that it was an example of a Republican governor behaving like a segregationist from the 1950s.
