Let me go in a straight line here about the husband of Venezuelan ICE detainee Vianes (?) Ramirez: On Monday I wrote an article headlined “Please, man – let’s work something out, let me keep my wife here” about the unnamed Miami, Florida man’s cries for an audience with convicted felon President Trump. In it I speculated that, given his choice of words, the man very, very likely voted for the fat fuck. One would think a Harris voter – or even a guy who didn’t vote at all – would be absolutely disconsolate and furious over losing their partner to the whims of a white nationalist tyrant. Instead he sounded far more like he has been betrayed by a personal friend he trusted.
As some of you may have noticed, I link a lot of stories from Yahoo and AOL News’s feeds from national and local outlets – the two sites are a great resource for collating stories from all over the place and load fast as they’re typically free of extraneous bullshit and autoplay videos. Which is why I was unaware that the man’s quotes that I had copied and pasted from the AOL repost of CBS Miami’s article had been captured in the above video until more than a day after I printed the story.
I first saw the footage of his interview here and was tantalized – at first:
This is Sad 💔 Florida man who voted for Trump wants to work something out with Donald Trump after ICE snatched up his wife & deported her back to Venezuela while she was in the process of getting her papers done.

Now, unless I’m missing something and I’m probably not because I watched this like three times. At no point did either the man or the CBS Miami reporter say he was a Trump voter. It was not in hideously marred “Raphouse” clip, nor in the original above in the YouTube video. I spent a good three or four hours this week searching up and down for “Vianis,” “Vianes,” or “Viyanes” Ramirez to find ANYTHING more about the couple and there’s nothing on YouTube or Twitter. Again, it would sure seem like the guy voted for Trump (although, had I seen the video first before his quotes in text I might’ve been a shade less conclusive about it. He’s hiding something and it may very well be his Trump vote, but as many have pointed out, the story about his wife having a court date to get her situation straightened out didn’t quite add up if she’s already in the country illegally).
In any case that one tweet above seems to be what an absolute shit ton of sources are basing their assertion that the guy is a Trump voter. There’s no screenshot of someone on Instagram or Facebook saying “Yo that Antonio Delgado Ramirez, I know that mofucka frm soccer, dude been postin all about how he LUV Trump an all that MAGA shit sayin how Kamala was like Maduro an be chickenheadin her way to the top, I even seen a pic of him wit a red hat on, lmao,” or whatever.
Nothing. And yet…
So yeah, this has 1,098,178 views as of 6:17 PM EST on Friday, a day after this David Parkman lib influencer uploaded it. Started watching yesterday after one of our readers posted it in the comments thinking “Oh, I’m vaguely aware of a David Parkman. He’s got a big following among libs, which could indicate he’s a reliable and thorough source of information. Surely he’ll have some info supporting the assertion that Señor Ramirez, first name still unknown, did in fact vote for Trump.”
I think I said “MOTHERFUCKER” out loud at 0:57 when I saw that Parkman had spliced in not the original CBS Miami footage, but the fucking shitty grainy “Raphouse” version. Seriously fuck this guy. I have VERY little doubt that Parkman was and still is fully aware that there is no reliably-sourced info on who the husband voted for in November but ran with it anyway to make a larger point. The problem is that the twat fails to understand that deliberate propagation of falsehoods UNDERMINES YOUR ENTIRE POINT JUST AS FOX NEWS, GATEWAY PUNDIT, AND ALL THE REST DO EVERY DAY.
How was “He almost certainly voted for Trump, you can tell” good enough for us and the Instagram commenter above but not for David Parkman and the Raphouse dipshit? When I said we had to become more like right wing media THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOT one of the ways I had in mind, cuntishly basing the entire premise off of half-truths and misinformation.
Fuck David Parkman and fuck Raphouse for wasting my time.
