But they rejected the label of 'deplorable.'
Hillary's quote:
You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that.
She wasn't even being 'grossly generalistic' and it's looking like it's more than half. A lot more.
If you include all Republicans and only look at homophobia, it's already at 60%. And those are the ones that will openly attest to it.
Now narrow that down to the most radical of them (Trump supporters) and include racists, sexist, xenophobes, Islamophobes, and include those who might still be closeted bigots.
This circle is made of more circle. Are you sure this is a Venn diagram?
What is the other half? Completely unbearables?
I reject the label of deplorable… it’s way too kind
All the more reason for them to stop rejecting it and embrace the hate.
Looks like this isn't even their first rodeo either.
They lost their last leader in 2019 to:
Fournier's Students for Trump co-founder, John Lambert, accepted a federal plea deal in 2019 and was sentenced to 13 months in prison for a wire fraud scheme that collected over $46,000.
They are withholding financial details because they claim "The leader handled the finances" Which looks like to be an ongoing investigation.
Con men and liars.
If you look in the modlogs, a mod on a conservative community is suppressing this story.
Kind of amusing that the free speech crowd is censoring stuff.
It's almost as if when they say "free speech" what they really want is to be able to spew slurs and deliver bigoted tirades with impunity.
Ding ding ding
They don't want folks knowing that Republicans don't actually know how to use guns.
I don't see the issue here, he seems to be representing exactly what the party stands for.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is just a prerequisite for being a member of the G.O.P at this point. Surprised it took him this long.
Surprised it took him this long.
...to get caught.
It isn't a prerequisite to be sexist and racist to be GOP.
But you do have to tolerate it.
And vote for more of it.
I dunno', a lot of gross conservatives manage to get married before they start openly abusing women. Seems like this guy is an early bloomer in that respect.
He is representing who MAGA is.
I'm shocked! Shocked!
Well, not that shocked.
of course he was
And he'll probably be considered a hero amongst his diaper brothers.
Well, obviously. 🤷♂️
He looks like a less jolly whoville character
Who’d have thought aggressive cowardice could be a thing.
I've seen people get assault with a deadly weapon for hitting pedestrians (nonfatally) with their car. Looking at you, Johnston County DA
