1. very appropriate, but we were told the clown was the sole culprit. Was that a lie?

Can a rodeo clown protect riders AND HIMSELF and MC at the same time? I would consider that dangerous multi-tasking.

Flicken is confused re: being threatened physically; that's what HE apparently was doing, to the POTUS, as a "joke."

We'll hear all about on a morning show and after an investigation, eventually. I'd like to hear from the cowboy clown after he's ID'd.

The Missouri State Fair should also pay back the money it received from taxpayers. No matter what one's idea of "humor" is, if the fair were a federal organization, the Hatch Act would have ensured jail time and financial compensation.

The European Fussball (soccer) Federation (don't know the exact name) takes immediate and severe action when racist acts happen under its jurisdiction. It should be no different in the "land of the free" when occurring on the taxpayer dole. With financial assistance come regulations to abide by. Either follow them or stop asking for $$.
