From SpartaReport: We have a New Hero, folks! Conservative Manny Laureano, the principle trumpeter for the Minnesota Orchestra, walked out of a live symphony performance when guest pianist Rufus Wainwright went on a #Resistance rant between songs.
The rest is here
And he plays the National Anthem at Twins and Vikings games – standing up!

And no Viking player has kneeled for the anthem. Go Vikings!
(or Skol Vikings as they say here)
– Kick off is right now
Saxindacity, As much as it pains me to say it, since I–a true son of Wisconsin–am a Packers fan, the Vikings are better than the Packers for standing (and not linking arms) during the National Anthem.
All you Packers fans, shout this our shame from the housetops in Green Bay.
Manny is well spoken. He articulated his problem with the event about as well as could have been done.
They’ll grind him up for it though.
Way to go Mr Laureano. I’m assuming Rufus is the son of Loudoun Wainwright. Saw him at the Silver Dollar Saloon in East Lansing,Mi. In the late 70’s. Sumbitch would be so drunk he’d fall off his stool.

One goes to the orchestra to hear music and song, not to be indoctrinated to a political diatribe. That drivel must be left at the door.
Way to go Manny my friend! Woohoo!
How could a trumpeter not be for Trump?

Anybody know if there’s video of this?
DON’T BACK DOWN TO LIBERALS
Every situation, they think they are AT LIBERTY to spew their political garbage in every situation.
SWAT THEM ON THE NOSE WITH A NEWSPAPER as soon as possible. That’s the only way they’ll learn.
Don’t be polite and just ignore it. If they start a dumpster fire, throw gasoline on it.
What do you expect from Rufie – an uber-liberal gay fella with a famous father? He has to toe the line, no matter how freaking stupid he sounds. The liberal media and arts folks pander to him, making him feel greater than most. Pride goeth before a fall.
Daddy’s ultra lib also. I was to young, drunk and not yet woke enough back when I saw him to realize it.
Should have belted put a verse of “When the Saints Come Marching In” while he was talking.
What 1harpazo said. We don’t go to see political tripe and just like NFL owners don’t pay the player to make political statements, these player don’t get a paycheck for political grandstanding either! Rufus the Dufus should have his pay docked for this stunt.
