Regardless of where one might fall on the political spectrum or how much someone even follows politics in the first place, the consensus seems to be that Donald Trump is the godfather of the Republican party, and for good reason. Even after all these months, his grip on the GOP has not waned in the slightest, and the vast majority of the right wing is eagerly awaiting the day he announces his intentions to run again in 2024. Of course, that only makes events that took place at his Alabama rally even more surprising, and indicative of just how far gone the right wing truly is here in the United States.

Donald Trump evidently had the audacity to encourage them to get vaccinated, and apparently they did not like it.

Allan Smith with NBC News writes:

“Former President Donald Trump was booed at a rally Saturday in Alabama after he told supporters they should get vaccinated.

‘And you know what? I believe totally in your freedoms. I do. You’ve got to do what you have to do,” Trump said. “But I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.’

Some boos rang out from the crowd, who were largely maskless…”
