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.”
Black and gay? I’m just confused. Didn’t you get the memo that these are the two things Republicans hate the most?
Cognitive dissonance
No, they hate black and gay women more.
But if he wouldn’t grift, he would be even worse off! can’t be black, gay AND poor, what would they think of him!
I’m sure he’s definitely grifting somehow, but being black and gay I’d imagine people on the left would throw money at him if he wasn’t a piece of shit. I don’t know if he is, just saying if he wasn’t then it would probably be easy and he’d have the benefit of not having to deal with actual racist nazis
Nobody parts with their money like the right. The left doesn’t just rally behind anything with the right keywords and will often provide emotional support before anything else.
The left has so many people who are abused for just being who they are that something like that is a Tuesday and not special enough to warrant sending $10 to a rando. There are bigger fish to fry and many would rather go after the instutions that allowed the pain to happen in the first place than pat themselves on the back for a weak bandaid solution.
There’s lots of gay black guys, why would the left throw money at him?
Maybe he hates transgender?
Maybe he’s a masochist.
Probs thought it cancels out.
