Last night in Glen Jean, West Virginia, President Trump addressed this year’s National Boy Scout Jamboree. After establishing his bona fides, the president trampled on the tradition of the event by bringing up politics. "Do you remember that incredible night with the maps and the Republicans are red and the Democrats are blue, and that map was so red it was unbelievable and they didn’t know what to say."

Ted Genoway is a third generation Eagle Scout, whose son hopes for his Eagle next year. He offers his thoughts on the president's speech.
