Three weeks before Election Day, Democrats bare their fangs

Mark Salvas, the executive director of the county Democratic Party in Pittsburgh, Pa., lost his job last week. The reason? Long before he was hired, the Gulf War veteran and loyal Democrat had posted a picture of himself and his wife on Facebook, with two phrases superimposed: “ I stand for the Flag,†and “I kneel at the cross.â€
Democrats came across this old post and decided it was “insensitive.†Even though Salvas believes that NFL players should be allowed to kneel in protest if they like, his expression of what he does is offensive.
And his wife had done something even worse. One of her Facebook posts asked for help for family friends – the family of a police officer accused of shooting a 17-year-old who fled a traffic stop after participating in a drive-by shooting minutes earlier.
Salvas’ firing sums up the state of today’s Democratic Party better than any polling analysis could. And it should serve as a warning to anyone who is thinking of voting Democratic as a protest against President Trump.
