OH FFS, the "smirking MAGA kid" who taunted the Native American drum circle is an RNC guest of honor

The Democratic Convention is underway with an all-inclusive rainbow of elected leaders, community members, and everyday citizens speaking out about their hope for a better world.

Meanwhile, the Republican Party has announced that their convention, which will feature Donald Trump every night, will also have such guests as the St. Louis couple that incorrectly handled their guns while waving and threatening protesters walking by their St. Louis mansion. The RNC also announced that they’ll also welcome “smirking MAGA kid” photographed standing inches from the face of a Native American protester in a drum circle. The invitations resulted in a flood of claims of other guests that were a joke. Everyone from Stanford rapist Brock Turner to Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost, Hitler’s dog walker and singers of the KKK Khoir.

While jokes spread throughout Twitter, The Daily Beast reported that television networks are nervous about the RNC event. They’ve already cut down what they show because the viewership numbers aren’t enough for them to make any money.

He was obviously severely traumatized by the entire event that he will share the spotlight reliving it as the smug poster boy teen of the alt-right.

Perhaps he can share the stage with some of those "good people" on the Torch bearing side in Charlottesville??

Thankfully only the networks and the news stations cover the conventions.

He thinks the media should be banned and Trump should be president for life.

He also believes the earth is flat, so he should fit right in.

I don't expect the GOP to hold anything more than a bund meeting that appeals to their base.

The RNC is doing a full on appeal to white nationalism. There is no other conclusion that a person can draw. Expect to hear a lot about peaceful White suburbs being overrun by people that don’t live (their softer version of what they want to say “belong”) there.
