A national coalition of police unions offered its endorsement to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during his Charlotte campaign rally Wednesday, and keyboard warriors on social media were quick to point out the irony.
“A convicted felon whose insurrection sent 149 cops to the hospital,” quipped podcaster Fred Wellman in an X post.
This is the second time Trump has received the endorsement from the National Association of Police Organizations, which represents more than 241,000 police officers.
During his rally, Trump introduced NAPO president Mick McHale by promising to “give our police back their power,” and “the respect they deserve. “
McHale took the stage and shook Trump’s hand. As he offered Trump the organization’s formal endorsement and listed off several GOP-backed police initiatives , Trump stood over his shoulder grimacing.
“We are proud and pleased to support your campaign and we are here for anything, anything that you ever may need,” McHale said.
Travel blogger Marat Oyvetsky said the endorsement was “dripping with irony.”
“Some police think they’re above the law and that citizens are dumbasses. Trump thinks the same way,” remarked labor activist Gailen David on X. “They’re an embarrassment to those police who serve honorably.”
DRIPPING WITH IRONY! Probably part of their Catch and Release Program! — Marat (@marat1) July 25, 2024
