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.”
If you say so. I suggest you go settle in the West bank. Maybe ask the israeli military for help if you get attacked
I’d rather Gazans come live with me. More opportunity here in the US.
I bet your opinion would change after trying to live among them.
And this is the difference between you and me, as people.
You mean you prefer to live among the leopards? Be my guest. Just don’t complain when they’ll inevitably eat your face
I’ll run and tell my Nigerian neighbor not to eat my face. He’ll get a kick out of it.
Cool. Now try burn a quran in Gaza. It’s dangerous enough to do that in Norway, a person that did exactly that was attempted to be killed. But I guess Gaza should be fine. And why would you burn it? Look at what it says about women, and gay people. Terrible stuff, so better burn the quran
Try to burn a Bible in many small towns in America, or most of Europe. Turns out when you’re intentionally an asshole to a bunch of people about something they’re passionate about, bad things can happen to you.
I don’t support burning any books
I wouldn’t know what happened. Because luckily I’m not an american. But the difference here is how Norway is my birth country, where my ancestors have lived since humans first came to this area. Yet I am not free to critizise an invasive religion, which has never been here before, which threatens the peace and prosperity we enjoy. Of course I don’t like it. I doubt you would either
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.
