(8,090 posts)He's an influential, colossal POS with nearly 2M Twitter followers. He started Turning Point USA. He's associates with another colossal POS - Candace Owens - who has nearly 3M Twitter followers. And if I'm not mistaken, Candace attacked Naomi Osaka ( "special snowflake" ) then backtracked.

The Newest Star Of The Trump Movement Ran A Trump-Bashing Publication Less Than Two Years Ago
A rising star on the right, Owens was CEO of a site that compared Trump to Hitler and speculated that he has a small penis.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/the-newest-star-of-the-trump-movement-ran-a-trump-bashing
Even by the whiplash-inducing standards of Trumpworld, Candace Owens rise has been fast.
Ten months ago, the 26-year-old posted her first politically themed video to YouTube, a re-enactment of coming out as conservative to her parents. In November, amid allegations of racial bias, the conservative campus advocacy group Turning Point USA hired Owens, who is black, as its director of urban engagement. Last month, Kanye West tweeted his approval of Owens thoughts. Last week, President Trump tweeted that Owens was part of a group of very smart thinkers and that she is having a big impact on politics. And this week, Owens mingled with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump at the dedication of the new US embassy in Jerusalem.
Yet Owens, suddenly a new face of the American right, was less than two years ago the CEO of an online publication that frequently mocked then-candidate Trump, including conducting a mock investigation into his penis size. (The story determined that it was likely very small.) And in a 2015 column for the site lambasting conservative Republicans, Owens wrote that it was good news that the Republican Tea Party ... will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope).
Indeed, the speed with which Owens has gone from running a frequently anti-Trump, anti-conservative website to being one of the presidents most prominent new supporters illustrates the wild land grab still going on for influence in the pro-Trump ecosystem.
Owens did not immediately respond to requests for comment via email and Twitter, though she did stress in tweets earlier today that the writers for the site, called Degree180, were young. She also described the reporter as a "despicable creature."
(She also accused BuzzFeed News, falsely, of "threatening" the former writers for the site.)

praised Biles's move as "in her best interest, as any Randian objectivist or libertarian would do" to protect "her personal value and future opportunities."
Because that's how fascistic white nationalists roll.

(892 posts)Why do so many of these Republican jerks look vacant behind their eyes? So many of them have what I call "shark eyes." Unfeeling....cold....dark.
Simone Biles has more integrity in one of her earlobes than this moron has in his entire being.
What a creep.

Blue Dawn
(892 posts)A person's appearance is due to genes, and I don't feel right making fun of it. However, a person's countenance is fair game for comment, in my opinion. I think people wear their "insides" on their "outsides."
So many Republicans just look angry, mean, smug, arrogant, and haughty. It's why I think so many of them are unattractive people....in general.
Does that make sense?
