This transcends any kind of religion and any kind of belief. This is actually an offense and attack on human values. He's just saying out there I will shoot people in the face and people wouldn't care.” PeopleKnowsHumansKindMeanSaidProblemCareFacesValuesBeliefForgetStupidNew YorkTrumpVotersOffenseNo ProblemFifthAvenuesJust SayingHuman ValuesNot StupidFifth Avenue Author:Bassem Youssef
