Are the people who wore “grab them by the pussy” and “I’m voting for the felon” t shirts suddenly offended by slogans?
This comment section is confusing me immensely
This post was made by King right after Kamala did a rally in Michigan and used that phrase to trash some Anti-Genocide Pro-Palistine protesters who she first said that “OK I’m Speaking” and then told them to keep it up if they wanted Trump to win. This is after she had had met with muslim leaders and protest leaders and was giving them the run around.
Caitlin Johnstone who is famous for hosting Democracy Now and has been covering the genocide in depth, saw Steven King post this and thought, as many other people did, that it was referring to what she did to the protesters . Then people in the know started to inform us that it was in reference to something she said during the Presidential Debate 4 years ago. Something that her team should take into account and do away with that merch for a while.
She personally met with those protesters before the rally, then when they later interrupted the rally, she let them have their moment, then when they wouldn’t shut up, that’s when she said that. Those particular protesters had no intention of having any kind of discussion, and it’s quite telling that they only come to Democratic events instead of Republican ones, who are MUCH more hawkish and pro-Israel than Dems and whom a protest against might be more effective, if they actually cared about Palestinians
If they went to the Republican rallies, the Republicans would violently attack them. Trump has repeatedly and explicitly told them to do so. I can’t blame them for not protesting where they know it would land them in the hospital, or worse.
Many were Palestinians who had lost swaths of their family to Genocide, but you don’t care about that… oh I though we were both making assumptions based on personal opinion.
Was that shirt official campaign merch to begin with? People make their own t-shirts all the time.
That ignores the actual context of this shirt. You just cannot remove Putin’s dick from your throat can you?
The actual context of the shirt is an event that happened in 2020 when she told Mike Pence at a VP debate that it was her turn to talk.
I’m sure you’re right about the context, but this still isn’t a great look. I also assumed that this was a reference to the very recent event, not a four year old interaction with someone who isn’t running for office this election cycle. I don’t think that’s an uncommon or unreasonable mistake to make.
Seems like a dumb slogan but I don’t see why you’d get triggered by it. If the Right is triggered by it, that’s probably why Stephen King is wearing it.
Also it isn’t a slogan it’s just on a shirt.
She said it during the VP debate in 2020, that’s where most boomer dem moms are gonna know it from
Caitlin Johnstone is a Putinist, so of course she’d be gunning for the Democrats. Her bosses want a second Trump administration, after all.
Ah yes, everyone who isn’t with US, is our enemy.
Everyone nods furiously
Something something thunderous applause…
We’ve no reason to put blind faith in any of those claims. Only time will tell
Ah yes, only time will tell! What a reasonable take. No wait.
Whether or not she’s a Putinist I can’t say, but her work is crowd funded. She’s independent.
You and your team are very adept at walking the line so you can pitch one way, yet deny it.
You bring no value, your extended post history is a mess, and I hope others will do like me and block you.
I don’t think your block is working, as they seem to be the OP of the post.
You reposting this is a pretty good piece of evidence of its friendliness to Putin
upon 2 seconds of googling it seems her primary web host is under an aussie domain, so… There’s that.
Is he criticizing or supporting Harris with that shirt?
