Black, gay Trump supporter brutally taunted with slurs at rightwing conference

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.”

Shit, is there a Leopards Eating Faces community yet? If not, this would be a prime contender for the first post.

Hermain Caine has sealed GOAT leopard-face-eating status for all time, or at least as long as he continues posthumously tweeting.

Holy fuck. The ghouls who worked for him are still using his Twitter account? Lmao.

Color me shocked.

Aah I have such fond memories of that place

Me as well. Every day dealing with my mask at work hoping that I wouldn't be the small fraction of the population that still gets messed even vaxxed, then sitting down and scrolling through the long timeline of a goatee hat and sun glasses or religious-karen going from tough to vent.
