MAGA exposes their internal ugly: from faux Newsom outrage to kindergarten ICE hotline caller
Hilarious is the controversy surrounding Gavin Newsom’s Atlanta book tour stop with Mayor Andre Dickens; it was conservatives accusing him of making a veiled racist dig in a comment on relatability (via his marginal SAT score) with an audience MAGA assumed “Atlanta + black mayor hosting = must be a black audience” (their own shortsighted stereotyping). Turns out the audience was mostly white – oh and Gavin was speaking of his overcoming dyslexia. Mayor Dickens defended & clarified thusly.
Not dissimilarly, comedian Ben Palmer set up an elaborate prank ICE hotline and snared many a moron, including a kindergarten teacher attempting to have one of her student’s parents deported. A Washington Post story detailed the set up and shared social media reaction & commentary from sociologists & political communications experts to show what it revealed for those caught in the trap.
