Pro-Trump Activists’ Attempt to Infiltrate DNC Goes Hilariously Awry

Far-right activists allied with Donald Trump attempted to attend the Democratic National Convention in an attempt to troll liberals. But instead, they found themselves brutally rebuffed at every turn, broadcasting their own humiliation. 

White nationalist Charlie Kirk showed up at the DNC on Monday. Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, is working in tandem with Trump’s campaign, which has outsourced some of its canvassing work to the advocacy arm of the conservative youth organization, Turning Point Action. 

Kirk seemed to have a tough time making friends at the event. Parker Short, president of the Young Democrats of Georgia, immediately approached Kirk, going in on the far-right influencer.

“We have a Republican governor and Republican secretary of state in Georgia that approved our elections, and Donald Trump said that wasn’t constitutional. Donald Trump tried to undermine our Constitution,” Short said, pointing aggressively at Kirk.

“Dude, you’re at a 10. I just walked in. I’m here to just learn,” Kirk said.

“You’re an anti-patriotic, anti-constitutional person crashing our party because you tried to stop our democracy,” Short replied. “Donald Trump called the secretary of state of Georgia and told him to ‘find him some votes.’”

“So let me ask you one question. I just have one question for you,” Kirk said, interrupting him. “What is a woman?”

“Oh my God,” Short replied, starting to walk off. “That is so fucking weird, y’all. Maybe you should meet one!” 

“I’m married to one,” Kirk said after him.

“Same!” Short shouted over his shoulder. 

Kirk posted the video to his own X account, a decision that astounded many online, who thought it was brutally humiliating for the misogynistic right-winger. 

Later, when Kirk tried to approach Hasan Piker, the leftist streamer, he was brutally snubbed.

Kirk wasn’t the only right-wing influencer to attend the Democratic event. Far-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec, who started the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, was also in Chicago on Monday. Posobiec co-wrote the books Unhumans, a violent book that decries all progressives as secret communists and all secret communists as sub-human. If that seems extreme, know that J.D. Vance seems to agree with him—he even helped to promote the book. 

Posobiec attempted to troll protesters and DNC attendees, interviewing them undercover for his show Human Events, which was being broadcast on the far-right network Real America’s Voice. Unfortunately for him, he ran into Amanda Moore, a journalist who spent 11 months undercover with the alt-right. 

“I just want to check,” Posobiec said, approaching Moore and another person. “Are you upset because you couldn’t get into the abortion van on time?”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Moore replied. 

“Because I understand they said they ran out of pills, they ran out of vasectomies,” Posobiec said. “Are you so upset because you couldn’t get into the abortion van on time that it’s causing you mental distress and anguish?”  

“I don’t understand why would I need [to get] into the abortion van?” Moore said.

“Oh, because you’re with the guys with the vasectomies, you’re on the vasectomy side of this!” Posobiec said, clearly thinking he had tricked her.

“It’s because I’m not fucking anybody currently. So like, I don’t understand. Do you understand?” Moore said.

“They will cut this if there’s language,” Posobiec said quickly.

“I don’t give a fuck Jack, I’m talking to you,” Moore replied. As the audio of the interview cut in and out, it was clear Moore was taking him to task, as Posobiec hurriedly tried to end the interview. 

“I can, but we can’t, can’t have the language,” Posobiec said. 

“Then walk away, asshole!” Moore shouted.

Posobeic quickly became the troll-ee as opposed to the troller. In another interview clip, inexplicably posted to his show’s account, Posobiec spoke to the person with Moore, an activist who goes by the name Anarchy Princess, who was very plainly messing with him. 

“How many abortions have you had? How many abortions have you had? How many abortions have you had today?” asked Posobiec, ever the deft interviewer. 

“I’m getting paid by George Soros to have an abortion on the stage, with no drugs,” Anarchy Princess replied simply. 

“Which way are you going?” asked Posobiec, another intrepid question.

“What do you mean which way?” she asked. 

“Which type of abortion?” Posobiec responded. 

“What kind of abortions are there, Jack?”

“There’s pills, there’s tools, there’s a number of ways,” Posobiec said, seeming unsure. 

“So, it’s going to be on stage. So, a normal person would think that they would use tools, right? And vacuum it out and do all of that. Like if I took a pill that takes several days, and nothing happens, you won’t see anything. So, you should probably study how female anatomy works,” Anarchy Princess quipped. 

Donald Trump, asked for the millionth time, still won’t commit to accepting election results as legitimate if he loses.

Speaking to CBS News Monday, Trump said, “If I see that we had a fair and free election, which I hope to be able to say, but if I see that, I will be.… You will never see anybody more honorable than me. I am an honorable person.”

The CBS reporter pressed Trump, telling him, “But you didn’t accept the results of the last election.”

“Well, that’s right, because there were many problems with the last election. You know it, so do they, and so does everybody,” Trump replied. The reporter noted that all of the legal cases to challenge the 2020 results were dropped, to which Trump replied that the judges wouldn’t take them.

“I think things have been done over the last four-year period that will make this a free and fair election, and certainly if for some reason I lose, and I think if I lose, this country will go into a tailspin, the likes of which it’s never seen before, the likes of 1929,” Trump added.

Trump’s comments were quickly picked up and posted by Kamala Harris’s campaign to show that the man who famously instigated the “Stop the Steal” movement and the January 6 Capitol riots hasn’t changed much at all. Trump has repeatedly dodged the question of accepting the 2024 election results, even after being asked three times during his debate with President Biden.

The former president and convicted felon’s cronies are making moves to undermine and even sabotage November’s election in Republicans’ favor. Several of them are working as election officials in key states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, and they’re looking to Trump and his campaign for direction. Supporters of democracy will have to be vigilant to ensure that the results are free and fair in less than three months.

In a speech at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, Jamie Raskin addressed not only his fellow party members but also Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance.

Raskin, who led Donald Trump’s impeachment over the January 6 insurrection, gave Vance a warning about the former president’s violent supporters. “Remember what the mob chanted as they stormed the Capitol?” Raskin asked. “Hang Mike Pence.”

“J.D. Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor!” Raskin continued. “They tried to kill him because he would not follow Trump’s plan to destroy and nullify the votes of millions of Americans.”

Former Vice President Mike Pence has announced he cannot support Donald Trump after he was threatened by Trump’s fans for refusing to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

“I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States, and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again,” Pence said in March.

In a statement to The Hill, Trump fired back at Raskin over his comments.

“Jamie Raskin is a disgusting piece of trash who has such a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, he is willing to politicize talking about assassinations just one month after an attempt was made of President Trump’s life. These are the people Democrats are highlighting at their convention,” a Trump spokesperson said.

While the Democratic National Convention was kicking off in Chicago, Donald Trump was posting to Truth Social, claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris had rejected a debate against him on Fox News on September 4.

“Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th,” Trump wrote. “I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our ‘Border Czar,’ where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. It’s called, and she LOVES IT, an OPEN BORDER!!!”

But, according to Trump, the show would go on—with or without his Democratic opponent.

“Rather than the debate on September 4th, I have agreed to do a Tele-Town Hall, anchored by Sean Hannity, for Fox,” Trump continued. “It will take place in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—Details to follow!”

The September 4 debate was not originally in the cards. Traditionally, a presidential cycle has two debates between the presidential candidates, as well as one debate between the potential vice presidents. But during a short-notice press conference at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, Trump spontaneously announced that he was willing to face off against Harris three times before November: September 4 on Fox News, September 10 on NBC News, and another September 25 debate on ABC News. (Trump mixed up the stations of the last two debates, but got the dates correct.)

Harris’s camp had not initially signed on to the Fox debate, and it’s currently unclear whether she’s actually rejected the date outright, as Trump suggested. The first official debate is scheduled for September 10.

The drama of it all may be an aggressive strategy for Trump to reframe himself as unafraid to show down against the famed prosecutor after he stunningly disappointed some of his fans by backing out of one of the debates earlier this month. (He has since flip-flopped.) Fans were so upset by the supposed strongman’s decision that they got the hashtag “#TrumpIsACoward” trending on Truth Social after the news broke.

Representative Nancy Pelosi isn’t worried about what people are saying regarding her role in President Biden withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election.

The former speaker of the House told CNN Monday morning that “I have my relationship with the president, and I just wanted to win this election. So if they’re upset, I’m sorry for them. But the country is very happy … I don’t know who they are, but, you know, that’s their problem, not mine.”

Pelosi’s public comments were a major factor in Biden’s decision to step away. After Biden had a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27, calls for him to drop out of the race began, and Pelosi refused to reject those calls, cryptically saying that the decision was up to the president.

Pelosi and Biden have reportedly not spoken since the president made the decision to step down, with Biden upset with the former speaker. Other Democratic leaders, including Senator Chuck Schumer, Representative Hakeem Jeffries, and former president Barack Obama were also in favor of Biden stepping down.

The move was attacked by Republicans as a “coup,” and Harris’s entry into the presidential race has led to them spiraling further and further into conspiracy theories as the new Democratic ticket continues to rise in the polls. Pelosi, meanwhile, has recently published a memoir about her time in politics, called The Art of Power.

Pelosi may have even played a role in selecting Harris’s running mate, reportedly speaking favorably about “her former House colleagues” whenever she was asked about V.P. prospects before the Harris campaign’s announcement, a nod to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s time in the House. Based on the results of her actions, her comments on Monday seem like she has no regrets.
