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 only know one guy in the hundreds of millions of dollars club (CEO and near sole owner of the corp I work for) and he is fairly leftwing. So I am going to nominate him. However, to be fair, even under some insane situation where the DNC had full power for several election cycles it isn’t like there won’t be rich people, there will be, they will just pay higher taxes. He isn’t going to be on food stamps any time soon.
