The Boy Scouts always, every year, regardless of political party, invite the President of the United States to attend their big jamboree. This year, it was in West Virginia and President Donald Trump actually made time to stop by and give a speech. Most Presidents do accept the invitation, but Trump is the first one since George W. Bush to do so. This is probably because the Democrats believe that the Boy Scouts aren’t as progressive as they want them to be.
After all, their name implies that gender exists!
When Trump brought the fact that President Obama didn’t bother showing up, the Boy Scouts weren’t happy about it. Watch what happened:
45,000 Boy Scouts BOO Barack Obama, Chant “We Love Trump” During President Trump’s speech. AMAZING! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain pic.twitter.com/2UudLJaXGJ

Of course, it is pretty amazing that the Boy Scouts actually booed Obama. But it’s not Trump’s fault that the former President was too good to show his face. Liberals reacted. This time, instead of attacking the Boy Scouts, they attacked the President:
I’m an Eagle Scout. Trump using the 30,000 BoyScouts as his props tonight was a scene out of Triumph of the Will. Shocking abuse of children

As Scouts, we were taught never to make our service about politics. Scouts are not supposed to appear in uniform at political events.

Okay, so a few things. Can liberals just not ever have the right sense of perspective? Saying that Donald Trump actually committed child abuse — a “shocking” abuse of children — is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Second, the Boy Scouts are probably sick and tired of being vilified by liberals who don’t think they are liberal enough. This is nothing more, nothing less.
