From an 18-year-old Oregon rodeo queen: "What me and my rodeo friends really hate are Democrats, environmentalists and gays." Lovely. (--in the book, "Rodeo Queens and the American Dream," by Prof. Joan Burbick)

Put Robert De Niro hates clowns in the community he even said it himself. He even hates the rapper's ICP the Juggalos I like their music too Robert De Niro. I went to a black rodeo before when I was underage I thought it was pretty cool and they had black rodeo clowns in Sumter Michigan. Had a good time Robert De Niro you know the community you mentioned. Donald Trump is just going to play Smokey Robinson at his rally and put it in your Faith why do you hate people of color when they're clowns Carlos bad words you said in the mafia movie against certain people Robert De Niro is that how you really feel now ??

Here is a job for Donald Trump "Rodeo Clown"

This is far from entertainment. Bulls are abused, beaten, and later slaughtered in the rodeo industry. Please stick to clowning around without exploiting animals!

[@kd78orangerangerpete]

Maybe you shouldn't watch if it hurts your little feelings that bad.

Those bulls are treated like royalty
