When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.
Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
Maybe having served in Iraq, he should have learned how a mistake is sometimes just a mistake and to know how to change your course of action once it turns out to be a mistake.
“mistake”
Oops, we just killed a million Iraqis. Silly empire
Maybe he has an ideological reason and considers such events less important than that.
Say, he’s a supporter of right-wing populist state capitalism. Satan knows why, Satan knows how, but he is.
Is there an alternative political affiliation for him, so that he wouldn’t be a Trump supporter?
Why does he feel that it’s relevant here? I don’t really follow that part.
BCOS the military and its vets are the R’s version of ‘think of the babies’, right until the point they ask for bothersome thugs like rights and support.
