Okay the article is too much.

GOP candidate struggles to burn rainbow flag on top of U-Haul truck while screaming at 2 people

“It’s white boy summer!” the 30-year-old man yelled to his cameraman and some guy banging a small gong.

Jake Lang — a racist Republican candidate for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat who was jailed for allegedly assaulting Capitol Police officers during the January 6, 2021, riots — struggled to set two Pride flags on fire outside of the Delaney ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, yesterday afternoon while yelling, “Happy Pride Month, fa**ots,” to his cameraman and one other supporter holding a gong on the sidewalk.

Lang stood on top of a U-Haul and yelled, “We will not allow this degeneracy!” as he ignited an intersex-inclusive Pride flag. The wind quickly extinguished the flames before they could seriously harm the flag.

He then struggled to re-light the flag, dousing it in lighter fluid before yelling, “These people need to go. We will overcome the homosexual agenda to destroy our children.” Meanwhile, he continued struggling to re-ignite the flag as his lighter repeatedly failed to produce a flame.

Upon finally reigniting the flag, he yelled, “Happy Pride Month, fa**ots,” as the wind quickly extinguished the flames once again.

“Get out of our country!” he yelled, holding the unlit flag. “This is a Christian country!” He soon threw away the unlit flag and unwrapped a basic rainbow Pride flag and unfurled it in the wind. Someone then laughed at him.

“Get these homos out!” he continued. “They’re the ones bringing in all the migrants!” He re-lit the flag before the wind quickly extinguished its flames once more.

Throwing the flag towards the sidewalk, he yelled, “Here you go, fa**ots — happy Pride Month!” But the video showed only two people on the sidewalk: his cameraman and one other individual (holding a handheld gong) running alongside the truck.

Lang then yelled, “Make America great again!” triumphantly raising his arms while standing on top of a U-Haul truck that costs about $30 a day to rent. Someone off-camera yelled, “F**k you,” in response.

He unfurled a banner off the back of the truck that said, “Save America. Deport 100+ Million.” He then jumped off the front of the truck and yelled into the camera, “America, we are so f**king back!” while a long-haired white man in a black bowler hat repeatedly banged a small hand-held gong.

Lang entered the cabin of the truck and used a megaphone to say, >“Traitors of the Deep State will see the gallows. You will hang traitors. Our country is worth fighting for. We will stand united. This is a Christian country. They have stolen the rainbow from God, and we’re here to take it back. It’s white boy summer!”

Lang is 30 years old.

He’s like a fascist MAGA furby.

This reads like a comedy bit. Our most brilliant minds couldn't come up with this level of incompetence.

[–] aceslip@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

It reads just like an I Think You Should Leave skit

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 48 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Traitors of the Deep State will see the gallows. You will hang traitors. Our country is worth fighting for. We will stand united. This is a Christian country. They have stolen the rainbow from God, and we’re here to take it back.

So first of all, they've stopped pretending that the "deep state" is something they're concerned about or fighting, but rather something they're actively attempting to establish.

Second of all, stealing the rainbow from God is so unfathomably badass. We're in our Prometheus era now.

I parse that sentence as

Traitors (traitors to Trump/MAGA/...) of the Deep State (who belong to/are part of/work for the Deep State) will see the gallows.

But then again ... I think your interpretation is equally plausible.

We will overcome the homosexual agenda to destroy our children.

Hi, heterosexual white male here. I too want to destroy your chances of having children. If you already have children, I want to take them away from you, and put them in the hands of a gay couple wanting to adopt.

Just to be clear, that quote is from Jake Lang, and thus that's who I'm directing my comments towards.

I wish there was video of this from 50 feet away to just show how ridiculously embarrassing it is.

This is a grown ass man too

This is a grown ass man too

I mean, that’s kinda arguable. Emotionally he’s maybe 13.

Based wind.

The elements are woke!

Also, Jake Lang is a loser. I can't believe he's still wearing that fake-ass flak jacket without the sappies.

“Save America. Deport 100+ Million.”

Important to note that this is ~1/3 of the US population, while ~90% of the US population are American citizens, 85% of the population natural-born citizens.

People calling for massive deportations like this are absolutely calling for 'deporting' natural born US citizens.

That's some industrial strength stupid.

“Save America. Deport 100+ Million.”

That's nearly 1 in 3 people. That would do the very opposite of "save" america.

I'm weird, this is a whole other thing.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's sad.

Like we have a subset of the population that's been conditioned, hoodwinked, or otherwise convinced into vehemently hating people at the behest of the epstien-class.

And there is literally no simply solution to this problem.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There's the type of weird that embraces their uniqueness. They wear it as a badge of honor, or even part of their identity.

Then there's the type of weird that doesn't want to be weird. They spend their whole lives wanting to be normal, and they take it as an insult.

Be the former.

They are so fucking weird.

And closeted.

And also pedophiles, or pedo protectors.

Why doesn't he know how to wear a plate carrier?

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

I caught that too. "Flarper, noun. Fascist larper"

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I guarantee you there's no plate in it, for a start. It'd be too heavy for him. And probably too expensive, too.

Must be so hard write comedy these days. Half the time you come up with something hilarious and someone will tell you that actually happend in real life 2 weeks ago.

The poor projecting bastard - so sad that he can't look in the mirror, see that haircut and those shorts and not be honest and open with his own self about absolutely loving cock.

Video is funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJnKRufUwOM

Edit: Also, he bought a lot of pride flags from China.

Edit 2: Wait, the driver is a guy? I thought he said, "Stop babe" in the beginning? Maybe Dave? Proceeds to have trouble getting into the UHaul hurridly. Also, what is the driver screaming about Trump? This is very funny.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

So the gong guy isn’t with him. After his hamster assistant drives him off, gong guy says, “I wish he’d use his powers for good, but. Whatever.”

Also his voice is like one of the monster muppets - way back in the throat and performatively gurgly.

Flag burning is okay again? Or just for them?

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

Just for them. Everything is just for them. We’ve at least learned that one thing by now, haven’t we?

He needs to show some skin for the boyz, to show he is not gay of course

I'm so glad that I counterprotested this fucker when he came to my city. There were maybe 10 people there in support, and 200 counter protestors. We chased him back to his hotel before he could even start his nazi rally

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

GOP Candidate = Bigot Grifter

weird indeed

lmfao at the fact that no one seems to like this guy

10 people on his protest's side, 100 counter-protesters

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The repeated references to the gong had me cracking up. I felt like the title of the article should’ve been “Long-Haired White Guy Weirdly Carries Handheld Gong to Public Breakdown of Florida Senate Frontrunner.”
