After Eagles Get Rejected By Trump, Sarah Sanders Finishes Them With 3 Words

After the Philadelphia Eagles got rejected by the White House for disgracefully offering a small delegation of players instead of the entire team, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders finished them with three harsh words you won’t want to miss.

Following the NFL’s recent announcement that it will require teams to keep anyone who wants to protest the national anthem in the locker room, many in the league have taken the opportunity to demonstrate their dislike for the new rules. The Philadelphia Eagles notably decided to send only a small number of representatives from their team to the White House for their Superbowl reception.

According to Daily Caller, President Donald Trump put the smack down on the Philadelphia Eagles and canceled their Superbowl celebration ceremony. “The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
In my opinion, this was the right thing to do, and the President should not back down from his stance on respecting our flag, our country, and those who have fought to protect it.

“The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,” the Trump administration said in a statement made on Monday. “They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our country. The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better. These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony — one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem. I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus to celebrate America.”

In addition, Sarah Sanders further explained, “On Thursday, May 31, the team notified the White House of 81 individuals, including players, coaches, management, and support personnel, who would attend the event. On Friday, the Secret Service cleared them for participation. These individuals, along with more than 1,000 Eagles fans, were scheduled to attend the event.”

“Late Friday, citing the fact that many players would not be in attendance, the team contacted the White House again, and attempted to reschedule the event,” she continued. “The White House, despite sensing a lack of good faith, nonetheless attempted to work with the Eagles over the weekend to change the event format that could accommodate a smaller group of players.”
Then, Sanders dropped three harsh words on the Eagles organization. “Unfortunately, the Eagles offered to send only a tiny handful of representatives, while making clear that the great majority of players would not attend the event, despite planning to be in D.C. today. In other words, the vast majority of the Eagles team decided to abandon their fans.”
In my opinion, Sarah Sanders is absolutely correct, the majority of the Eagles players did “abandon their fans,” many of whom have served this country in the military or as law enforcement. The lack of respect for our flag and our country that seems to be growing in some professional sports is simply unacceptable. If it weren’t for the men and women who serve our country and represent our flag and our values, professional athletes wouldn’t have the opportunity to earn an obscene living by playing a game.

President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel plans with the Eagles is on point with conservative values and truly sends a message to the world that he stands for America first. The simple fact that the league has failed to correct this problem from the beginning means that new leadership is needed to turn things around before fans abandon the league altogether.

BREAKING News Out Of Los Angeles… LOOK HOW LONG HE’S HEADING TO PRISON! YES!

An Avenues gang member who was captured last year after more than a decade on the run was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison on federal hate crime and firearms charges that were filed against him in 2004, announced Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore of the Civil Rights Division, United States Attorney Nicola T. Hanna of the Central District of California, and FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul D. Delacourt for the Los Angeles Field Office.

Merced Cambero Jr., 39, who used the gang moniker “Shadow,” pleaded guilty in February to participating, along with other gang members, in a conspiracy to use violence against African-Americans to interfere with their right to live in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Cambero also admitted to participating in the 1999 racially-motivated murder of Kenneth Wilson, an African-American man who was shot and killed in furtherance of that conspiracy. The defendant was sentenced by United States District Judge Percy Anderson, who in 2006 presided over the trial of four co-defendants who were charged along with Cambero in the initial 2004 indictment and a superseding indictment that followed in 2005.

The superseding indictment alleged that Cambero and three of the four co-defendants – Gilbert “Lucky” Saldana, Alejandro “Bird” Martinez, and Fernando “Sneaky” Cazares – shot and killed Mr. Wilson because of his race and because he was using the public streets in Los Angeles, and that they used firearms during and in furtherance of that crime. These defendants were also charged, along with a fourth co-defendant, Porfirio “Dreamer” Avila, with conspiring to use violence to interfere with the federal housing rights of African Americans in Highland Park, including another African-American man, Christopher Bowser, who was shot and killed in 2000. Saldana, Martinez, Cazares, and Avila stood trial in 2006, were convicted on all charges, and were sentenced to life in prison. Although Cambero was charged in the same indictment, he was never arrested or arraigned until he was captured in Mexico last year. He was then returned to the United States to face the charges against him.

At the 2006 trial of the co-defendants, a jury heard testimony from two Avenues gang members who participated in the murder of Kenneth Wilson and implicated Cambero and three co-defendants. The gang-member witnesses also testified about an agreement among Avenues gang members to try to preserve the primarily-Latino make-up of Highland Park by engaging in violence against African Americans. Their testimony was corroborated by numerous African-American residents of the Highland Park neighborhood who described acts of racially-motivated violence directed at them by the defendants and their fellow gang members.

In court filings connected with Cambero’s guilty plea and sentencing, Cambero confirmed the evidence from the earlier trial, admitted that he and his fellow gang members were in a stolen van when they saw Wilson, whom they did not know, and decided to kill him because of his race. Cambero admitted that he and two other gang members then got out of the van and fired guns at Wilson, who was killed by a single gunshot through the neck.
“This Justice Department will not tolerate any act of violence motivated because of another’s race,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore. “The defendant’s egregious actions were unlawful, and as this sentencing demonstrates, will not go without punishment. The Civil Rights Division will continue to vigorously prosecute those who commit violent acts of hate.”

“This defendant was part of a reprehensible scheme that targeted an entire class of people simply because of skin color,” said U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna. “The Justice Department is committed to preserving and protecting everyone’s civil rights – particularly when violent acts are used to violate those rights. Mr. Cambero attempted to avoid prosecution for many years, but we persisted to bring him to justice and send a message to the entire community that this type of conduct will not be tolerated and will be punished.”

After hearing from the mothers of two African-American men killed by the gang, Judge Anderson on Monday accepted the guilty plea and sentenced Cambero to 20 years in prison. Among the considerations Judge Anderson cited as influencing his sentence were the defendant’s acceptance of responsibility and the desire of the victims and witnesses to be spared the trauma of another trial.

This case was investigated by the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office and was prosecuted by Deputy Chief Bobbi Bernstein of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jennifer Chou and Daniel O’Brien of the Central District of California.
