'Didn't watch the movie?' GOP accidentally casts Trump as villain in 'May the Fourth' post [View all]
TFG's campaign staff evidently are not Star War fans

The North Carolina Republican Party on Saturday came under fire for a Star Wars-themed post meant to celebrate the "May the Fourth" internet holiday and promote Donald Trump.
The official account of the North Carolina Republican Party on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted an image showing Trump holding a lightsaber. The text says, "May the Fourth Be With You," which is a play on the Star Wars line, "May the force be with you."
The problem, as social media users were quick to point out, is that the ex-president was shown with a red lightsaber. According to Vox, "Sith usually use red-hued" lightsabers, such as the one Darth Vader wields.
National security attorney Bradley Moss wondered if the state GOP outpost was ignorant.
"You gave him... a red lightsaber? Do you know anything?" he asked Saturday.
Democrat Harry Sisson said, "You know the dudes who have the red lightsabers are the bad guys, right? Didn’t watch the movie I guess?"
@Venti__Poet chimed in in response to the post, "At least you know he is on the dark side."
@cj_bria said, "So, he’s a Sith Lord? Sounds about right!"
