I think there has to be anger and hate for what’s happening to our country. It is so serious that people lying and bringing about all the chaos and turmoil that we’ve seen, would qualify at the top level of that anger and frustration.

I do understand the gravity of losing a father or losing your life. I get it.

But I can understand people cheering as well.
