When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.
Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
I’d rather Gazans come live with me. More opportunity here in the US.
As long as everyone is doing their part. Once one person decides " we don’t want others here" and starts human trafficking people to smaller states that don’t have the money or infrastructure a available to support a massive influx, then it becomes problematic. Not because of the people, but because of the ass-jacket that is forcing people without access to winter clothing to a place that is -40f (during a religious holiday about an immigrant being born in a barn because the town had too many people, and no one kind enough to let them in…) and therefore people end up not having the services they need to thrive.
I bet your opinion would change after trying to live among them.
And this is the difference between you and me, as people.
