Couy Griffin
Today’s Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to Couy Griffin, founder of Cowboys For Trump. As one of the rioters on January 6, he climbed over three walls, requiring assistance from others, and then argued unsuccessfully that he didn’t know that he was entering a restricted zone. He had asked for a bench trial, rather than a jury trial, before a judge appointed by the Kumquat Caligula. He was found guilty. Griffin said he would never incite violence — unless perhaps the U.S. Constitution were under attack, a statement unreconcilable with the crimes he committed on January 6. Rather than comply with covid requirements to wear a mask, he elected to not have post-divorce visitations with his son. This from a family-values conservative. Griffin faced calls to resign from his Otero County Commissioner's seat in New Mexico after he said in a video, "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat."
On a Facebook video, he sharply criticizes those who support performances at football games of the "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" — traditionally known as the Black national anthem — as a gesture of solidarity against racial injustice. "They want to destroy our country. They want to talk about playing a Black national anthem before football games? I got a better idea, why don't you go back to Africa and form your little football teams over in Africa and you can play on an old beat-out dirt lot and you can play your Black national anthem there. How about that?" he said. "This is America, we play the national anthem in America today." These quotes were copied from the El Paso Times.
So, yeah, another conservative barf bag.
Never ever underestimate the malignance of conservatives.
