Eagle Scouts 'know' twitter

>"In all of the madness of our new Republican administration, and the ruling class of puppets trying to rip away Americans’ healthcare, the pathological and destructive nature of Donald Trump’s narcissism can be lost. Yesterday, Trump used an appearance at the Boy Scouts of America’s Jamboree at Summit Bechtel National Scout Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia. Trump decided to use this event to talk about himself and politics and attack enemies. He turned the event into a Hitler Youth rally-seeming function instead of the celebration of the … Boy Scouts.

Ted Genoways is an journalist and a former Eagle Scout from a long line of Boy Scouts. Furious, he decided to explain himself in a very sobering review of our unpopular president’s antics yesterday."<

>"The response was overwhelmingly positive from the Scout community. No one wants what Trump is selling."<

I guess his personal business ties/agenda interferes with his BSA leadership role.

He needs to be replaced.

Why did they chant, "we love trump" and USA! USA! USA! ? I have lost all respect for the Boy Scouts, and I will do everything I can (which isn't much) to bring down their organization.
