Right-Wingers Say Super Bowl Is Rigged So Taylor Swift Can Endorse Biden (Rolling Stone)

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/taylor-swift-targeted-conspiracies-chiefs-super-bowl-1234955940/

-snip-

Former presidential candidate and MAGA blowhard Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted on Monday that he wondered “who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” adding: “I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”

-snip-

Posobiec and Ramaswamy weren’t the only right-wingers to suggest Swift is part of a left-wing conspiracy. Failed GOP candidate Jack Lombardi II wrote on X that he has “never been more convinced that the Super Bowl is rigged. With all the unneeded and unwanted Taylor coverage at the games. KC’s journey to the Superbowl – totally scripted … KC wins. And then later [they announce] their support for Biden. Coincidental? No. Bought and paid for couple. SMH.”

-snip-

Podcast host Mike Crispi raged that “The NFL is totally RIGGED for the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift, Mr. Pfizer (Travis Kelce). All to spread DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA,” referencing past right-wing attacks against Kelce over his promotion of the Covid-19 vaccine.

“Calling it now: KC wins, goes to Super Bowl, Swift comes out at the halftime show and ‘endorses’ Joe Biden with Kelce at midfield.” Crispi added.

Maybe Tr**p could even pay off his debt to E. Jean Carroll. (sardonic)

Just stay home San Fran, the rigging is done. No need to injure players for nothing.
We could just use the whole days pregame, game time and post game analysis as one big campaign event for Joe and ALL Dems. With lots of that gay Bud Light beer commercials.
And Tons of Trump cognitive bloopers for fun.
Thank you Ta Ta.
Not a KC fan but damn if I don’t now have millions of reasons to pull for them to win this game.

A long time friend, (HAD) , that sent me a text a few years back claiming that was “N” word Time, not half time.
The year Snoop, JZ and all the rap pioneers did half time. I let him hear it, he knows I hate racist.
He claimed that was intended for his brother. Like that made it fine.
Oh….and he had a black friend growing up.
I consider it not too big a loss after his colors came out. When they show you who they are, believe em. Even if they had a black friend one time.
And his imaginary friends name…… Leroy.

Not to mention the fun that can be had with a couple other names in this idiotic saga: Vivek Ramasmarmy and Jack Prilosec. (I have to thank the Chapo Trap House podcast for the latter).

Crispi is part of the far-right Salem Radio Network, because of course he is. Salem, you know, the place infamous in American history for...well, never mind...the jokes write themselves.

Then there's the case of Jack Lombardi II. Check out Ballotpedia for more of this moron. In particular, read some of the Q&A. It has to be seen to be believed. He's like something out of a Republican AI chatbot.

But her inspiring many young people to get registered to vote and to get involved is the real problem GQP whiners have with her. Seems the GQP thinks only the GQP is allowed to have 'influencers'. Sucks to be them.

And, what scares them even more is that she has already shown herself to be left-leaning. They know that if she gives any inkling of supporting Biden and other Democrats, her massive legion of Swifties will follow her lead. The election would be a bloodbath, and the thought of it terrifies them. Which is why they're bending over backwards, trying to keep young people from voting.

So while they embarrass themselves with their nonsensical "Trump Derangement Syndrome" accusations. The harsh reality is that they are the ones suffering Democratic/Liberal Derangement Syndrome."

If they thought Swifties would vote TFG in, they'd crow about this power couple nonstop.
Taylor now lives rent free in all their heads. And Biden gets all the credit for masterminding it. Idiots.

I'm rooting for the Chiefs to win. Best QB, best TE, best RB--AND, Best Field Goal Kicker. Butker could win the game with his kicking alone. Better defense, too, although that come from behind win by the 49ers was awesome.

Biggest problem we have is they both have mostly red uniforms. Don't see why Repubs have to try and ruin a distracting game--but, that's the way they roll, when they feel the heat of someone who commands millions of fans the world over, is probably richer than Trump, and whose boyfriend is going to the Super Bowl! They have to explain it to Trump somehow!

Remember, Trump tried to buy the Bills, but the family said no, and he's been itching to ruin another team ever since. I doubt that the Chiefs will worry about this!

I can't wait! Good luck, Football Fans everywhere!
