As a kid I was told which water fountain I had to use. Don't you dare tell me which national anthem I stand for. It's a beautiful hymn, but the racist notion of saying "here you have this anthem" is unacceptable. I'm a proud American, proud of my history and proud of that flag.

When I was a kid we battled blatant racism. Now it's more subtle, the left attempts to silence those who don't fit their false narratives. More and more brave patriots like Vernon are standing up and saying "no more". A movement is coming, one that's long overdue.
Yesterday, I announced my intentions to resign from my office. But shortly thereafter, the outpour of support I received was too great for me to ignore. I will not allow the Democrats to bully me into submission. I will not let them win. I will NOT resign. #MAGA
