Yesterday I noted that The Democrats’ demonization of President Donald J. Trump and his supporters as “Nazis” and “garbage” may have claimed a victim in New York this weekend, as one man allegedly brutally assaulted another shopper after being triggered by a pro-Trump hat.
Now it is being reported that a Massachusetts City Councilor has been arrested this weekend for disorderly conduct, after he apparently allowed his Trump Derangement Syndrome to go out of control.
An Amesbury city councilor faced a judge on Monday after his weekend arrest, accused of screaming at supporters of presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump, blocking traffic as they drove by with campaign signs and American flags, and jumping onto the hood of one vehicle.City Councilor at-Large Steve Stanganelli, 59, of Amesbury, was arrested Saturday and charged with disorderly conduct following the incident, which was caught on video, police said. Stanganelli pleaded not guilty to the charge in Newburyport District Court on Monday. He is due back in court on Dec. 11.Stanganelli told Boston 25 that he wasn’t targeting Trump supporters during the rolling Trump rally, and that it was an issue of public safety. He said he saw several cars failing to stop at the stop sign at the corner of High and Market streets.“There was no intention, any attempt by me to stifle First Amendment rights. I didn’t even know there was any kind of rally activity going on,” Stanganelli said.
The city’s mayor was not impressed with this behavior.
The office of Amesbury’s mayor released this statement in response to a request for comment: “We understand that this is a very polarized time in politics and that emotions are running high as we prepare for the election on Tuesday.However, the city of Amesbury does not tolerate or condone behavior such as what took place on Saturday, regardless of the political climate. Any disciplinary actions against Mr. Stanganelli regarding his seat on the council would come from City Council, the legislative branch, and is not the purview of the executive branch led by the mayor.”
Imagine a politician accepting the fact that people have differing opinions on who should be our national leaders.
The meltdown was spectacular.
Meanwhile, at Hot Air, Beege Welborne humorously reviews all the riot preparations that are being made in deep blue cities in anticipation of large-scale TDS erupting should President Donald J. Trump prevail in the election.
In all seriousness, MAGA and right-wing extremists are known to be a problem in the Pacific Northwest. It is a veritable hotbed of white toxic masculinity.Portland takes MAGA very seriously.Scraggly beards, torn flannels, watch caps, needles, rolling papers, etc. – all the insurrectiony type hallmarks wander the streets with impunity there.Get those boards up, stat.Gracious, look – Los Angeles, too! Knock me over with a feather.What a pity. Look what they’re covering up.
