DO YOU THINK it’s ok to boo a speaker at an event? And does it make a difference if that person is a world leader’s daughter?
While attending a women’s summit in Germany yesterday, US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka was booed at after praising him as an advocate for women and families during a discussion on paid maternity leave.
“That is something I’m very proud of my father’s advocacy, long before he came into the presidency, he championed this in the primaries. He’s been a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive,” she said.
So we’re asking: Do you think it’s acceptable that Ivanka Trump was booed at?

The article says “white supremacist” but the definition of what classifies a white supremacist has slipped over the years. Who knows if he was actually targeting white supremacists or just regular conservatives he labelled as such. It’s also ironic that they both hate Jews. We live in a weird world. If only the radicalised nutters could go at each other without innocent people being involved. Fair play to the FBI.
@Toomasu Sumitsu: the definition hasn’t changed, only people’s perception of what is acceptable as they forget history.
@The Guru: the terms racist, Nazi and white supremacist are often thrown around to describe anybody to the right of Bernie Sanders. They don’t even carry any weight anymore the looney left diluted their meaning so much.
Amazing that they never seem to be able to prevent the attacks of actual white supremacists despite living out their lives in plain site.

@Garreth Mc Mahon: In the US if you served a tour of active duty and received an honorable discharge you meet the criteria for being a veteran
@Darren Tully: is honorable discharge a nice of saying thanks for letting us use you now piss off
The FBI have a dubious history of picking no-hopers and through ‘informants’ radicalising them further and providing them with money and material they would never have for themselves, then declaring they’d busted a major terrorist plot, when the whole thing was put together by the FBI. This story has echoes of that type of thing.

@Squiddley Diddley: Buy your tin foil hats in bulk do you?
@Kazoochka: It actually happens.
@Squiddley Diddley: For those naive enough to think this doesn’t happen, a Human Rights Watch report from the Human Rights Institute at Columbia Law School on the practice (It’s a pdf): http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/usterrorism0714_ForUpload_1_0.pdf
@Kazoochka: he provides sources??
