This clip might be the MAGA-est thing ever and it’s almost impossible to choose what to lead with, so we’ll just go in a straight line: Like a number of Twitter users have already pointed out, Turning Point USA is supposed to be a “youth” organization yet just anecdotally it seems as though the majority of attendees are angry, decrepit boomers. Like this guy. And holy shit is he angry.
“I am so tired of hearing we’re gonna hold them responsible,” the man says, his voice quivering with rage, “them” almost certainly referring to Biden, Democrats, the FBI, etc. “I wanna know why AFTER SIX MONTHS, WE CAN’T PUT ANYBODY IN JAIL!!!” he screams to thunderous applause, making it clear that the whole audience thinks the House GOP should be allowed to unilaterally arrest people.
Cruz then delivers a high school civics class lesson, explaining that federal law enforcement is the responsibility of the executive branch and no member of Congress or the judiciary can prosecute an individual. If you read a transcription of it you would think Cruz was calm and collected, as if he’s talking to a room full of teenagers. But on video it’s clear Rafael thinks he needs to match the man’s volcanic fury and basically shouts it out, and the result is fucking hysterical. It’s like he’s saying “Hey you fucking stupid hick, I know our party and media complex intentionally created that expectation that Hunter Biden would go to jail if we won the House to get you to vote for us, but I thought only cynical upper-middle class and above Conservatives who were in on that scam were able to afford tickets to this event. I’m going to have words with Charlie Kirk about raising the admission fees so we can price out uneducated dipshits like you. But since we’re here, I guess I have to explain HOW THE FEDERAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ACTUALLY WORKS to you fucking retards.”
