In the famous quote from Star Wars:
It's A Trap!As you know, I am no fan of Donald Trump. I was one of the original #NeverTrump. I didn't like Trump back when he was still donating to Hillary and saying she would make a great President.
But even I, as a Never Trumper must call out an obvious trap that the MSM is setting for him.
In several stories today, the media is reporting that Biden is being met in Serbia with chants of "Vote for Trump". Here is an example from the Washington Post:
http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,221049.0.htmlIn all the stories, they are prominently showing the pro-Trump signs of the chanters and something big jumps out. Something the media isn't mentioning along with all the Trump shirts and signs.
Look at the name on the signs- Serbian Radical Party, the SRS. They are a hyper-nationalist, fascist party. During the Bosnian/Serbian war, they formed paramilitary groups loyal to Slobodan Milosevic (they were called the White Eagles). Many in their party were tried for war crimes, including the current SRS leader.
http://myinforms.com/en/a/33847659-serbia-informs-icty-of-non-extradition-of-srs-officials/ The current SRS leader, Vojislav Seselj, actually went on trial at the Hague for genocide. He was acquitted by claiming he didn't know what his followers were doing in his party's name, but it still cemented the association of the SRS with genocide and racial nationalism.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/un-court-acquits-serb-radical-seselj/ar-BBravGVI believe the Washington Post and other media outlets are baiting Trump and the right with this story to respond in a positive way to the chants of "Vote for Trump" in order to then come back with a big "see, they support genocidal fascists".
This is bigger than just Trump and how he looks. This could be used as an attempt to tie the Republicans with the Bosnian/Serbian genocide and make it appear that we support it. The best response is to call it out and make sure everyone is aware of who these people are who are cheering so you don't join them.
