A town in Western PA has cancelled the woman they picked to sing the National Anthem...
at their festival because she posted a picture of Mellissa Hortman on her Facebook page. It is a redneck hillbilly town full of trumpers. She has been threatened and smeared by the local yokel townspeople. The borough and police told her they fear for her safety and they cannot promise to protect her. I will not mention the town because she is already going through hell over this. I can attest to the horror of the people there because I had the unfortunate experience of living there for 25 years.
