(43,053 posts)That's insane if that's true.
I read somewhere they may have been booing a protester when Glenn's name was mentioned. For the sake of basic humanity I can only hope that's the case (not much better but still).

(1,237 posts)"Donald Trump made his way to Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday night for the third stop in his "Thank You Tour." As Trump addressed the recent passing of astronaut John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, a protest broke out on the floor. The former host of "The Apprentice" did his best to ignore that was going on, but the disturbance became too obvious.
"That's OK. That's OK," Donald Trump said of the protesters, before adding, "We have to respect John Glenn." "I think they are actually on our side, they just don't know it yet," Trump noted, while also predicting "They will be soon!."
I'm not sure about the source but I was watching, IMO they were booing the protester.

(14,464 posts)Their "real" Ameriklan, Alex Jones, push the CT that the moon landing was faked. Yeah, yeah, I know, but to the morans he is lumped in with Armstrong et al. Not to mention he was a Democrat.
That's all it takes to get boo'ed.
Gone to them is his distinguished military career during WW2 and the Korean war. Think about it. A crack pot and his rantings got an American hero boo'ed on news about his death by trumpeteers. Deplorable. I can't wait until poppy dies. All bets are now off with respect for the dead.

(4,123 posts)Does he mean Glenn would have been the first in space because Yuri Gargarin beat him by quite a bit. Glenn wasnt even the first American in space (Alan Shepard) or the second (Gus Grissom).

(2,469 posts)There were howls for the freepers and other frothy righties. They could stop their vituperation. Of course he was a Democratic senator and a pretty good one at that.
Of course had he been a republican that flight would have brought the right orgasms of patriotic fervor,

(45,806 posts)I'm waiting for the days they awaken and realize they have been scammed. at the rate the Con is moving, it shouldn't take much more time. The first LIE exposed what his story about Carrier, which was proven a lie within 24 hours, thanks to thee Union Leader who brought our the real truth. Wait until there's no wall. Obamacare doesn't get repealed in three months. Wait until it's discovered that we CAN'T deport millions of illegals. How long will it take for the deplorables to get it? I will be gloating big time, because we TILD them he was a Con, but they said we didn't understand.
I just hope he doesn't manage to completely destroy our Country before he's recognized for what he really is.

(37,122 posts)I believe I was in error that Trump supporters booed Glenn. This seems to be 2 events at same time: Ppl booing Trump as he mentions Glenn.
