    I don’t think “hey everyone, let’s make fun of a disabled 17-year-old tearfully expressing love for his father” is gonna play as well as they thought.

      talk radio host Jay Weber tried to parody Tim Walz, tweeting, “Meet my son Gus. He’s a blubbering bitch boy. His mother and I are very proud.” Weber later said that he deleted his tweet after learning that Gus was disabled—he just meant to attack a 17-year-old boy for being emotional.(Weber has since deleted his explanatory tweet as well.)

      What a bunch of weirdos

        It’s funny(depressing?) to think that someone probably had to tell him that his explanation for the first tweet wasn’t making anything better and that he did not get it by himself. And I’m sure he still doesn’t understand what he did wrong

      MAGA doesn’t care. They were fine with Trump making fun of someone with CP in 2016, and they’re fine with this.
