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 call bullshit - Let’s see a few examples of liberals/democrats getting their faces eaten by policies they support.

    “Oh noes, this free college is hurting me” “Oh noes, all this free healthcare, my wallet is too fat”

    Just to be obvious here, show me what laws liberals have actually been able to pass just how they championed for, and show me the face eating. I’m waiting.

    Inb4 something about an immigrantl/minority/female committing a crime (cause liberals are so pro crime)

        So the fuck what. It’s almost as though humans shouldn’t be predisposed to shit lives by arbitrary borders in places that western nations like America fueled their instability in the first place.

            Perhaps not, but it would be nice if the wealthy shared their privilege with the less-fortunate, right? Last I checked Norway IS a Christian nation, after all… Would be awfully Jesus-like if they broke bread with their less-fortunate neighbors, now, wouldn’t it? Of course I’m not saying the burden rests solely on Norway; rather it is a shared burden of the collective.

                Free movement of people is the most basic of human rights, and the easiest to guarantee. Literally helps your economy instead of costing you anything.

                    I’d rather Gazans come live with me. More opportunity here in the US.

          Generally speaking, European arrogance like this is based on looking at US conservatives – which is why this is so confusing, because you and OP are ideologically the same as US conservatives.
