'Trump 2020. Put it on YouTube, put it on Facebook. Trump 2020'
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is promising swift action against a New York City police officer who was caught on camera saying "Trump 2020."
Multiple videos uploaded to social media showed a NYPD officer say "Trump 2020" over the loudspeaker in his patrol car while two additional NYPD officers conversed outside the vehicle.
The incident happened in Brooklyn Saturday night.
"Do it again. What? You can't say 'Trump 2020' now, you fing p*?" the man behind the camera in the first video said. "Say it again."
When the officer repeated the phrase, the cameraman responded, "Go f yourself you fing fascist."
Another video uploaded to Twitter captured the incident from a different angle. The video, taken from the window of a nearby apartment, showed what happened after the first video ended.
"Trump 2020. Put it on YouTube, put it on Facebook. Trump 2020," the NYPD officer said over the loudspeaker. "Take a picture, take a picture, take a video, put it on your Facebook, put it on YouTube. Have some fun."

What was the reaction?
Enraged city leaders, including the mayor, are vowing action against the officer, and the NYPD said they are investigating the incident.
According to the New York Post, "NYPD strictly forbids officers from expressing political views or endorsing candidates."
In response, de Blasio promised New York City residents that the city would take immediate action against the police officer.
"Let me be clear: ANY NYPD Officer pushing ANY political agenda while on duty will face consequences. We will act fast here, and this will not be tolerated," de Blasio said.

Top NYPD brass also scolded the officer.
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said, "One hundred percent unacceptable. Period. Law Enforcement must remain apolitical, it is essential in our role to serve ALL New Yorkers regardless of any political beliefs. It is essential for New Yorkers to trust their Police. Updates to follow after initial investigation."
Chief of Department Terence Monahan added, "When you wear our uniform it is imperative to remain apolitical. Behavior like this will not be tolerated and will be dealt with."

Matthew McConaughey bashes cancel culture, talks about being Christian in Hollywood and defunding the police
McConaughey pointed out some Hollywood liberals go so far left they become 'illiberal'
Matthew McConaughey gave an interview to Joe Rogan where they discussed a myriad of topics, including the actor slamming cancel culture, talking about being a Christian in Hollywood, and providing an eye-opening response to the defund the police movement.
McConaughey blasted the practice of cancel culture during his appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience."
"We're making people persona non grata because of something they do that is right now deemed wrong or it's the hot point in a hot topic right now," the Hollywood actor stated. "You can't erase someone's entire existence. Where the heck does some forgiveness go?"
Rogan asked the "Interstellar" actor if he has experienced any discrimination in Hollywood for being Christian, and he said he "hasn't had any difficulties."
However, McConaughey did point out the phoniness of some of his fellow actors.
"I have had moments where I was on stage receiving an award in front of my peers in Hollywood," McConaughey explained. "And there were people in the crowd that I have prayed with before dinners…many times."
"And when I thank God, I saw some of those people go to clap, but then notice that, 'This could be a bad thing on my resume,' and then sit back on their hands. I've seen people read the room and go, 'That wouldn't bode well for me in the future for getting a job or getting votes or what have you.' I have seen that, I have witnessed that. I don't judge them for it," he said.
According to a 2014 Daily Caller report, God had only been thanked 14 times in over 750 Academy Awards acceptance speeches over the last 30 years.
One of the 14 times happened in 2014 when McConaughey thanked God while accepting his Best Actor award for "Dallas Buyers Club."
"First off I want to thank God, because that's who I look up to. He's graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human hand," McConaughey said after receiving his award. "He has shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. In the words of the late (British actor) Charlie Laughton, who said, 'When you got God you got a friend and that friend is you.'"
McConaughey pointed out that some Hollywood liberals go so far left that they become "illiberal."
"Some people in our industry, not all this, there's some that go to the left so far that go to the illiberal left side so far, that is so condescending and patronizing to 50 percent of the world that need the empathy that the liberals have gives and should give to throw somebody, to illegitimize them because they say they are a believer," McConaughey said. "It's just so arrogant, and in some ways hypocritical to me."
