Tonight in Athens — the same city where Laken Riley was murdered. The city said moving this historical monument would “keep it safe.” Instead, it was vandalized with “F— ICE.”

This is the radical ideology now tolerated by the Left.

You may be aware of my sentiments regarding Veterans. But this issue weighs heavily on my heart, so I am bringing it up. I am fairly confident that I already know a few individuals who will assist, but I am concerned that I will only receive a small amount of responses, as this is a pressing concern. Twenty-two Veterans succumb to their struggles daily. May I request that two friends or family members copy and re-post this message? Someone's life may depend on it. ❤️‍🩹 Call the Veteran's Hotline at 988 #1 or 844-647-1354. I am asking for just two individuals to respond with 'done'.

It’s not just confederate monuments that the communists are attacking

Coward Antifa scumbags have vandalized George Washingtons mom's grave.
are Fascists.

I also met Chris who retired from the Georgia National Guard and is running for Georgia State House

Steve Gooch is running for Lt Governor in Georgia I attended his kickoff event

Why would they do this? Tuskegee Alabama

The Stone Mountain Cemetery was vandalized
How disturbing does someone have to be to carry this out?

General Michael Flynn a true Patriot and myself
