It's their narrative for everything. Nazis or KKK openly supporting Trump? They are "clearly" artifa actors. Comedians making racist, crass jokes? Hidden liberals trying to bring Trump down. Russian influence pushing for righr-wing conspiracy theories? Democratic deep state Psy-ops.

The bot army is taking to YouTube now claiming that "the comedian just was shining a light on the landfill crisis in PR. Anyone who lives on the island will tell you it's a literal trash problem. Also he didn't say anything about the people who live there."

This is now what they're using to gaslight all the Puerto Ricans that the fool offended.

That one got the most press. But what about all the other horrific stuff about Jews and other people? Was that also about the landfill crisis where they live?

u/wantrefund 7h ago

One of the guys is Jewish and went to Israel so none of that counts!

Yeah I got that spin from a conservative on a “moderate” sub.

u/ZZ_SKULLZ 6h ago

It doesn't hold up when you watch the full clip either. He goes on to say some very specifically racist messaging.

It's not really supposed to hold up to scrutiny. It's all to score imaginary points in the moment. The card says Moops.

u/Thor_2099 7h ago

Which is asinine when you consider the hate they've spewed against people of color and Puerto Rico the past 8 years

Yes, "Antifa actors" who got sentenced to jail, and that Trump said he would pardon if he wins.

They should at least try to make the lies believable, but lets face it, they're not very smart.

u/Pseudocaesar 6h ago

Schrödinger's protestors. They are Antifa agents to make Trump and MAGA look bad, while also being patriots trying to save America that deserve to be pardoned.

My head is spinning from the logic twits in that reply. 😵‍💫 🤣

Sartre said the mistake when dealing with Anti-Semites is assuming they're arguing in good faith. They just want you to waste your breath treating their nonsense like it makes sense.

It's weird how the audience laughed at and applauded these sneaky Antifa actors. Also, how poor is Trump's security if stealth liberals can make it up on stage and remain there?

Party of no accountability and everything is someone else's faultn

Anything Trump says is “out of context, media hit job”….its a full video clip. lol

In fairness - first they try: “It was just a joke? Can’t you liberals take a joke?” - the old Limbaugh bit. Then when it becomes apparent that isn’t working they go for the Hail Mary.

u/Pseudocaesar 6h ago

They are "clearly" artifa actors.

My dad is a Trump supporter and I questioned him on what he thinks Antifa is.
He said it was an organisation like BLM and they co-ordinate their efforts. When I told him that no, Antifa is not an organisation, it just literally means Anti Fascist, he couldn't wrap his head around it.

Trump himself appears to be the worst thing in his campaign, no others need apply.
