The Daily Dot - A Mexican-American boy sang the National Anthem, and racist NBA fans can't handle it
Republicans will say it's "Plants" by the Democratic Party. Only, we know better. Remember the Peanut Throwing incident at the Republican Convention? This is how we feed the animals?
That boy is awesome! You're a liar if you say it's "only" republicans that make remarks like that. It doesn't matter what they are, you'll get this from both sides. I think it's awful to attack a young boy like this....you could hear the passion in his voice, he's an American citizen.
