A Republican congressman sharing a video posted by Richard Hainania of an Ole Miss counter protester making monkey noises at a black protester.

And here’s a Republican congressman endorsing the racism.

Ashton Pittman on X: "A white Ole Miss frat boy dances like a monkey and makes monkey noises near a Black woman who was protesting for Palestine. Is this heart warming?

The guy in the flag jumpsuit isn’t the one who seems to be making monkey noises. It’s this guy, who can be seen briefly on the right side of the video

most punchable face since Kyle Rittenhouse

Germans have a word for this: Backpfeifengesicht* (* Germans ALWAYS have a word for "this")

unsurprising here, since there are so many examples of the term in germany

I feel the need to unironically ask "why do you hate Germans?" 😂

It’s the lego set of languages.

But has to resort to 5 syllables.

The Germans have a word for it, even: "Ohrfeigengesicht" (basically "A face in need of a punch") Never let anyone tell you that German isn't a beautiful goddamn language.

I agree with you: yes, German is a beautiful language. A language that has a word for the concept of "Schadenfreude" can only be a beautiful language!

Usually it is 'Backpfeifengesicht' with the same meaning

I'm just goin' by what my German dad told me. Maybe it's a regional preference? (or generational, for that matter, since he's old.)

My first thought was, "his parents must be so proud." My second and most correct thought was, "Of course they are."

And probably in the legislature.

OMG I thought the exact same

I’m always bewildered at people doing this who think they’re making a statement about _other_ people. Dude, you’re the only one behaving like a monkey, and you look like (and are) an idiot. (“Blazing Saddles” had a whole scene about this – the “sing that song you sing” scene.)

I'm not sure if the woman is a protestor or just someone passing through who stopped to take a picture.

I wonder how many of these asshats had grandaddies rioting when Meredith came onto campus.

Let's make him famous!

I hope he becomes very famous and unemployable.

What GOP politician is calling for that guy's expulsion and employment blacklisting?

Is. Is that. Is that a bowl cut?

I really wish (as a black person) that they’d be more original with the insults. Since I’m Nigerian, I’ve had the monkey one done since grade school. Try a little harder, frat boy.

None of the guys so fiercely “defending” the US by shouting down a few protesters seem to have cared enough to join the services. None of those haircuts are regulation.

Dox this motherfucker. Clearly should never pass a background check ever again.

That dude looks dead on like Steven King in the meteor vignette from Creepshow.

Only in this case, he *is* the meteor shit.

I hope this gets in the way of every job these good old boys apply for in the future

Everybody can joke about this, but he was too upset to even look at his food bowl when he was taken back to his cage at the special dorm/zoo

The brayvery much, of donkeys aping their puppet master, king of racism, & making new ways to cause grief, killing, & so, war..evil he who stirs, & stirs, the cauldron of trouble, for his evil witch. As she pats his head, & scratches behind his ears, they hide, in his bunker, watching. All Cowards.

Jesus, this is just as bad as it sounds.

I'm sure that all the Jewish students feel much safer with him there...

There aren't any.

You also hear chants of ‘Lock Them Up’. Conservative appreciation for the 1st Amendment goes out the window as soon as its convenience evaporates.

Not the point, but how easy is it to get into ole miss?

Even monkeys are more civilized than these guys...

He's caught in a still photo from the scene that I saw yesterday, visible in the background between the protester and the person she's speaking to. From The Daily Mississippian's coverage, photo credits to Maria Ramirez and Antonella Rescigno. thedmonline.com/may-2nd-pro-...

In case anyone had any doubts about who exactly was showing up as “counter protesters” at Ole Miss:

Just economic anxiety

people who literally aren't even sure what year it is

Those Drumpf 2020 flags are all over porches and front yards here in southern Iowa, too.

(Along with friendly little notes such as:)

To be fair, they don't even know what century it is.

You know …
