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

[Miles Archer]

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.

1. Oh, OK. I saw the picture and I thought it was Ted Cruz's love child.

[soothsayer]

2. When they go low... they really go low

[Doodley]

3. They really know how to get out the racist vote.

[qazplm135]

4. they are just leaning into it now

aren't they.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I've thought about this all day and I honestly can't think of anything this guy has to offer

that anyone would really want to listen to.

[Ohiogal]

6. Which night

will Dylan Roof be on?

[smirkymonkey]

7. The only thing they inspire is hate.

It's sickening.

[Alacritous Crier]

8. I guess it's officially...

the Racist National Convention now.







GOTV!

9. The face of the Turd Reich

10. Good. Hope he smirks his way into saying how much money in made from his lawsuit.

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??

[wryter2000]

11. Trump every night?

Is MSNBC going to cover this? What will I watch if they do?

[Trenzalore]

17. Hockey/basketball playoffs. baseball, history channel, hallmark channel

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

[wryter2000]

23. Does the History Channel do history?

I thought they were into weird stuff.

[Trenzalore]

24. Occasionally

Alien conspiracies though are probably more rational than the GOP convention.

[wryter2000]

26. Certainly more entertaining

[BannonsLiver]

12. Well he is the leader of the Trump Jugend

[lunasun]

13. Bring back this loser RNC cray act again . It was hilarious the 1st time 🤣🤣

[JenniferJuniper]

15. They should invite my neighbor Carl,

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.

[Trenzalore]

16. There will be a dichotomy

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

[Blue_true]

18. The couple from Saint Louis that drew guns on unarmed protesters, now the MAGA kid.

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.

[Paladin]

19. Just a bunch of trash, rather than individuals with a shred of decency.

I am completely unsurprised.

[eppur_se_muova]

20. Kind of redundant -- they already have one spoiled brat. nt

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. Boy, they are hard up for speakers. But then no one in

their right mind would want to be a part of that fiasco.

[Ilsa]

22. A four night parade of racist bullies and idiots. nt

[RANDYWILDMAN]

25. White Privilege is gotta be the theme????

I mean the got the kid marching against womens rights in DC from the Catholic private school
White check and privileged
The gun toting Lawyers scared to death by the colored people in st louis.
White and privileged
Trump, Every night ? ARE they sure they have enough meds for this ????
White and privileged
