Celebrity Las Vegas survivor faces backlash after standing to greet President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump
Aris Folley, AOL.com 21 hours ago
Thomas Gunderson shot in the leg during the Las Vegas massacre on Sunday found the strength to stand for President Trump when he visited recovering victims in the hospital earlier this week.
The president and first lady Melania Trump visited Gunderson, who was among the more than 500 people wounded at the Route 91 Harvest Festival last weekend, at the city’s University Medical Center on Wednesday, where they posed for photographs and chatted.

The 28-year-old from Newport Beach, California, took to Facebook shortly after to post a video of the encounter which later went viral, writing: “I will never lie down when the President of this great country comes to shake my hand!
“There may be plenty of issues in this country but I will always respect my country, my president, and my flag. Shot in the leg or not, I will stand to show my president the respect he deserves!”
Since then, Gunderson has received an overwhelming amount of positive responses and well wishes. But the survivor has also received a lot of negative reactions from Facebook users who were critical of his choice to stand for the president.

"Should have saved his energy. Hopefully, he's able to heal fast and return home before that 'great president' makes it impossible for nearly everyone to have healthcare," one user wrote, while another simply posted: "Oh don't turn your back to him phew!!!"
Some even saw Gunderson's choice to stand as a political statement after NFL players across the league chose to kneel during the national anthem to protest racial injustice.
Gunderson responded to critics in a separate post later this week, in which he said he prepared his family beforehand for the "backlash and hateful comments" he expected after the viral video and called out commenters he claimed wanted to "cause divide."

Maybe you missed that Obama and Clinton condemned Weinstein - probably not covers on FauxNews. One of Obama’s daughters interned for Weinstein’s company, so he has to be feeling a little offput by the news.

It took the fraud Hillary 5 days to condemn Weinstein and only minutes to go political anti-gun after the Vegas shooting.

Who said what?
CNN political reporter Daniella Diaz posted a video on Twitter Monday afternoon mocking President Donald Trump helping Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) up the steps after concluding their joint Rose Garden news conference.
“That hand-lock between Trump and McConnell, though,” Diaz tweeted out alongside a short video clip of the two men.
Did Diaz know McConnell was a polio survivor?
If Diaz didn’t know before her Monday afternoon tweet, she certainly learned shortly afterward, as many Twitter users were quick to point out to Diaz that the 75-year-old McConnell was a polio survivor who sometimes needed assistance. But more than 24 hours later, the tweet had not been retracted and Diaz had not acknowledged the blunder.
Even one of Diaz’s colleagues, CNN senior congressional correspondent Manu Raju was quick to publicly correct her.
“McConnell often goes up a step at a time, sometimes needs railing for assistance. This time, used Trump for balance,” he wrote, quoting her previous tweet.

So CNN corrected her?
If you got worked up by “That hand-lock between Trump and McConnell, though,”, you must have gotten really inflamed when Trump made fun of the reporter with the disability, right?

A senior correspondent “corrected” a junior. Not sure what gender has to do with it.
In any event, how upset at Trump were you when he made fun of a disabled journalist?
