We Found the Plaid Shirt Guy Who Trolled Trump
Source: Daily Beast
That viral sensation is Tyler Linfesty, 17, a Billings-area high-school student who spoke with The Daily Beast on Friday via text message.
Although it was not visible throughout much of the speech, Linfesty was proudly sporting a sticker for the Democratic Socialists of Americathe political organization that includes many of the upstart leftist candidates currently challenging Democratic lawmakers for their seats.
I am part of the Democratic Socialists of America, Linfesty said, but I identify as a social democrat, like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
And the Billings chapter of DSA was excited to see local youth representing their views on national television. The young man is not an active member of our chapter, the group told The Daily Beast, "but we hope he will be!

(18,641 posts)He wasn't breaking any laws, and even refusing to walk away when instructed to do so by a civilian is his right as far as I know. Sure, they would have sent security to escort him out, and I wouldn't have resisted that at all, but it would have made for a revealing moment of a Trump fascist rally.
I don't have a lot of money for lawyers, but I'd be glad to represent myself against charges of not sufficiently adoring the president. Having been chosen randomly, that young man never misrepresented himself. I'm sure there's no law that says he had to kneel and kiss Trumps ass.

(14,838 posts)The rally is actually a private event, and they have the right to remove you for any reason. Beyond that, he is within a security proximity to POTUS. On that ground alone, he could be arrested by the secret service if he refused to leave.
But really, he had already won. If he got pummeled by trump goons, it wouldn't do any good. They would spin it that he was a thug. Now, they just look foolish and incompetent. A much better story in the end.
Someone I worked for at the start of my careers (I'm now 60) explained to me the difference between being right, and dead right. If you are going to die on a hill, make sure there was no other alternative that worked better.

There was an ad on billings.craigslist.org before the rally asking for "$18-F150 Trump Supporting Truck, bring your truck and flag and come support MAGA, looking for minorities a PLUS PLUS PLUS, wave the flag, make money!!! $15 per hour, 2 shifts, No Liberals, Democrats, Traitors!"
And then this kid makes an ass of him!!
Keep it up, you baboon! Even hiring Claquers doesn't make you The God Emperor!
