For anyone who hasn't clicked the link, there's a fun video. These people are children in adult bodies.

And you have to wonder if the fact that (at least?) one of them is black had anything to do with it.

There is simply not enough context in this video to say race had anything to do with it. Yeah Trump supporters are more likely to be racist but this just looks ridiculous.

Hence "you have to wonder" and not "that's the case."

Couldn't get the video without clicking through to Twitter

"Sad" might be a better descriptor.

Luckily the crowd was filled with plainclothes off-duty cops

Who's got the best bootleg merch? I guess we'll never know.

I do find it funny that many of the trump shit around me in my area is off brand unofficial campaign merch, including yard signs. Willing to spend money, but likely too dumb to find the actual campaign website
