San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo is simply the poorest excuse for the people’s representative I can think of right at the moment. Immediately following violence perpetrated by a handful of thugs outside a Donald Trump rally in San Jose yesterday, Liccardo actually chastised Trump and his campaign for coming there in the first place, stating: “At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.” Excuse me??
Now how far have we fallen in this free republic when an individual like this can make a statement like that with a straight face? Well, putting aside the fact that this so-called “mayor” is an admitted and vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton, I’d still like to know why did his police officers simply “stand their ground” for more than 90 minutes before dispersing the crowds? And why were the vehicles of Trump supporters vandalized without recourse during the protests? Sounds like a simple law and order thing to me.
Now I understand there was likely more going on than is described in the article I read this morning. And I’m not disparaging the police department, as I’m very well aware they act inside a chain of command with the “mayor” in this case calling the shots. However, I’d also like to know, since when does freedom of speech stop at the city line Mr. “Mayor”? And since when do you get to make a call like that? Read your Constitution jack-wagon, and do your damn job…
