Donald Trump and every single Republican who says they support Trump needs to be forced to own this piece of garbage. Here's how Trump's rally started off this weekend in Waco, TX:
Ted Nugent kicked off Donald Trump's latest rally with a homophobic insult aimed at Volodymyr Zelensky ... falsely claiming the guy's gay while demanding a refund.
The rocker was one of the first speakers for the DT event down in Waco, TX Saturday ... and when he took the stage, he started ranting and raving about the Biden administration's spending decisions -- including where they've sent money and supplies. [...]
He started out by saying he (as an American) didn't give the OK for JB and co. to surrender a bunch of U.S. military equipment to the Taliban ... referencing the exit out of Afghanistan.
Then, he went straight into bigotry -- saying he also didn't sign off on the government sending billions of dollars in aid to embattled Ukraine amid their ongoing war with Russia. Here's how Ted put it ... "I want my money back! I didn't authorize any money to Ukraine to some homosexual weirdo. I want my money back! I want my freedom back!"
Apparently the list of speakers was so bad they didn't want to publish it ahead of time.
Some of the other highlights (or low-lights) of the rally were January 6th rioters showing up who've apparently learned nothing from their time in jail:
These two clowns making an appearance so they could be fed more of the attention they constantly crave:
Trump still bragging about "acing" his dementia test:
And pretending he wasn't the laughing stock of the world when we were unfortunate enough to have him in the White House:
Jay Rosen responded to Tom Nichols on Twitter asking about his argument that we should be amplifying what goes on at these rallies.
I'm squarely on the side of forcing them to respond to it and amplifying what they're saying, because it's going to disgust most people and they shouldn't be allowed to ignore them. That seemed to be the general consensus to Rosen's tweet as well. Make them own it and it's going to hurt them if you do.
