Duterte for Congress Volunteer Gets Arrested at Marsee Auditorium Debate

Righteousness and justice never stop running down.

At Marsee Auditorium earlier this week, the two main candidates running for Governor competed in an extended, extensive, and exciting exchange of ideas.

I was really impressed. Both of them came ready to make their case to the voters.

Travis Allen threw down like no one else.

He visited with lots of people, lots of supporters after the debate, too!

Before the debate began, one of the candidates running for the 43rd Congressional District showed up: Edwin Duterte.

I am not supporting him. Omar Navarro is the candidate to take on Maxine Waters for the general election. He has raised an incredible amount of money. He has prior experience working some of the precincts in the city and throughout the district, since he ran in 2016.

Not only that, but he is a devout, open Trump supporter. That's the kind of leadership that we need in this country. We need people who will not run away from the President, but are willing to stand with Trump and the Pro-American MAGA Agenda.

Duterte just hates Omar, and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. There is so much animus going on, and no one is focusing on making the state better or their different districts better for constituents.

At the debate, Edwin's key surrogate was Robert Peete. He has been a strong ally in the past for Donald Trump and for LA County for Trump.

But now, I am not sure what has happened to him. He has become vocally hostile to all kinds of people. He does not listen to others, but spends more time trashing people. It's really sad.

When I walked into the auditorium, I respectfully announced that I am voting for Omar Navarro for Congress. He fired back "You must be a criminal, just like him!"

Really? Oh brother. Who needs this nonsense? I decided to refrain from further interaction with the guy. I don't know what's happened to him, but it's not looking good.

Edwin's presentation to the voters was really weak. He didn't have any energy or real connection with the audience. He has very little money, too. The truth is, he is running against Omar because ... he doesn't like Omar.

That's not a reason to run for office. You run for office because you want to represent people for the better in Congress. Oh well.

At the end of the debate, a couple of racists broke into the auditorium to chant and disrupt the event. By then, they were too late, though, since the debate had finished, and the audience was returning to the lobby to meet with the candidates.

Shortly after the racist protesters came into the auditorium, Robert got arrested:

Here's another video of the incident:

Whatever happened, it seems pretty ironic that Peete called me a criminal, when he's the one who got arrested that night. What is going on here?

I asked one witness what happened, and she could not tell me from her own eyewitness testimony. One of the police officers informed her that he had laid hands on someone. Other people were pointing out that the racists who broke into the auditorium should never have entered the auditorium in the first place. Why weren't they arrested?

Still, I think it's somewhat fitting that the guy who shamed me for supporting Omar Navarro ... got arrested in turn.

ThinkProgress Fail: Smears Republican Congressional Candidate Over Social Media Profile

Edwin Duterte is running for Congress in California's 43rd Congressional District.

He is not my choice to replace Maxine Waters. Omar Navarro is, and he has already raised considerable sums of money. He has also received high-profile endorsements from Sheriff Joe Arpaio to Barry Goldwater Jr, Herman Cain, and Joy Villa.

I do not care for the tactics which Edwin Duterte has used, according to reports which I have received. He leaked information about a spurious arrest and conviction against Omar Navarro to the local press, which had the opposite effect of boosting Omar's profile.

So, with all of that said ...

I know for a fact that Edwin is no racist. He has reached out to and worked with men and women of all backgrounds.

He is Filipino himself!

I have spoken with him and he has invited people of different backgrounds to speak at the South Bay Republican Assembly when he served as its President.

So, when I found this article on ThinkProgress attempting to smear him, I laughed out loud!

Republican challenging Maxine Waters is using a whitesupremacist platform to promote his campaign

What is going on here?

The social media site that ThinkProgress is smearing is "Gab".

This site is truly dedicated to Freedom of Speech and wants to stop the arbitrary silencing of different voices and eclectic views. Facebook, Twitter, and Google are engaging in a systematic crackdown on differences of opinion and freedom of speech, and Gab has emerged as a clear alternative to permit a true concourse and discussion of ideas.

We need this! America was founded on freedom, including freedom of speech!

Why would ThinkProgress want to smear freedom?

Why would they go after Edwin Duterte for wanting to promote his campaign?

And how dare they call Gab a "White supremacist" site.

It isn't. I have encountered some viciously anti-Semitic accounts, true. But the answer to free speech is more free speech. I am not going to be bullied into silence--or into silencing others--just because of their heinous views.

Again, why does ThinkProgress play the "White supremacy" card?

Gab launched in 2016 and describes itself as an “ad-free social network for creators who believe in free speech, individual liberty, and the free flow of information online.” While it may not explicitly side with the political right, its green frog logo closely resembles the Pepe the Frog meme that was popularized by members of the white nationalist movement that calls itself the “alt-right.”

More distortions.

"Alt-right" is a left-wing movement, hence they are "alternative" right.

Second, Pepe the Frog has been popularized by men and women of all backgrounds. If white supremacists wanted to turn Mickey Mouse into a symbol of Nazism and hate, would Disney have to disavow Mickey Mouse?

This race card crap needs to be taken down a notch. ThinkProgress does not think, and they are not making any progress toward making this country great again for all.

Do they really think that a Filipino-American is a white nationalist or a white supremacist? I would find it very difficult for anyone to take these websites seriously. 

In fact, Duterte made it very clear about his egalitarian views, which are distinctly American anyway:

Though Duterte does not make explicit, incendiary comments about race himself, he engages with other Gab users who do not hold back their white nationalist opinions. After someone with the username “TwitterSucksHillarysBalls” told Duterte “I dont want a single fkn jew in the US,” Duterte responded by saying: “I am cool with every race.”

Of course, the reporter refused to capture that post and provide it on her article, although she provided other posts about his conservative views to support President Trump, especially on immigration.

As Edwin Duterte has stated, ThinkProgress is Fake News!

I would go so far as to suggest that they are libelous!

Shame on them!

Contact the reporter, Kira Lerner, and ask her why she tried to smear Edwin Duterte as a racist, when that is completely untrue!

Edwin Duterte, the President of the South Bay Republican Assembly, took a great photo with me and future state senator Shannon Grove:

And my good friend, Homie Harim Uzziel!

Since we were meeting at the Trump Golf Course, of course we were going to run into families dining at the restaurant.

They loved my Trump cape so much, that I offered to take photos with them!

Then the announcements, presentations, and festivities began!

Check out the whole video here:

When Omar Navarro stepped up, he invited his team of supporters.

He said that I could join him on the steps, too!

May our banner yet wave over our country!

God Bless Donald Trump for keeping this flag flying!

                                      

Chanell and I had a lot to talk about when it comes to the American flag, and Trump's decision to allow the flag to fly on the flag, even if residents in Rancho Palos Verdes complained about the view of the bay.

And here's me again!
