Thomas Teepell is the son of a former long-time Bobby Jindal staffer who's close to Sean Feucht.
Bobby Jindal! Fuck.
Ghost of republican response past
All the Hitler youth running around with the cross of Jesus. Get fucked you scum.
Tommy was a plant?! Tommy came armed with "Do you support the Muslim Brotherhood?" and got taken apart.
America Next was founded and, still involved with Bobby Jindal, the child of Punjabi Hindu immigrants. Imagine being so self loathing you’d continue this train of narrative.
He's willing to say the 14 words if it gets you to open your wallet.
For everyone who said "scamming these suckers is easy, why am I not doing it?" this is what that looks like. You have to send in your kids to a press conference with national syndication and tell them to be publicly racist.
Hindus don't exactly get along with Muslim people. The whole India-Pakistan situation does not make them good friends.
(Unfortunately, it may already be working: CNN’s coverage of the moment featured a terrible headline suggesting El-Sayed’s disavowal was the news, rather than his compelling defense of the Constitution.)
BILLIONAIRE NEWS
CNN needs to try harder, I can make a worse headline.
Alleged Terrorist Abdul El-Sayed Disavows Terrorist Group after discussion with Christian press conference.
here’s 300k/year, so can you start at fox tomorrow?
He had to stand there for 5 minutes getting dressed down. My god, what a chode
Future Congressman Chode
Damn that kid got schooled.
The call back to disavow instituting religious doctrine was chefs kiss
Tommy understood his Gotcha question would melt Abdul into the floor. He had no idea what to do if it turned out that Abdul wasn't the drooling moron, or slavering terrorist, that he was conditioned to believe. Abdul turned out to be intelligent, and Tommy is used to discussing politics with other MAGAs, so he didn't know how to respond to logic and critical thinking, so he just stood there with his teeth in his mouth (as my union-loving grandmother used to say).
Abdul shut that loser up real fast
It's wonderful how quick witted he is. My favorite was him countering the Fox pundit asking if he supported child genital mutilation by asking if the pundit was circumcised.
The man has a talent for that. I really like him.
Tommy didn't stand a chance.
Tommy thought words were just some kind of incantation; say predefined fix words and the magic happens.
El-Sayed just taught Teepell that words instead are a conduit for critical thinking and communication. Teepell kept trying to say the incantation to have the effect he wanted, and nothing happened except Teepell getting verbally walked over for his own stupidity.
El-Sayed just taught Teepell...
I feel that's a generous take on Teepell. Maybe "attempted to show" Teepell.
"bye, Tommy!"
