Crowd erupts into laughter as Modesto Straight Pride leader says he's part of 'racist group'

[Demovictory9]

From the moment he took to the podium to defend his "Straight Pride" event, Don Grundmann was booed by the assembled crowd at Wednesday's Modesto City Council meeting. But he quickly became a source of their unmitigated amusement after a slip of the tongue sent the meeting into joyful laughter.

Grundmann, who is attempting to host a "Straight Pride" rally on Aug. 24 in Modesto, started off by defending his intentions.

"We haven't done anything," he protested. "We're a totally peaceful, racist group."

Although he quickly tried to recant the "racist" portion of his sentence, the chambers were already laughing and cheering so loudly he couldn't be heard. One of the Modesto city councilmembers can be seen laughing so hard, she fully turns away from her microphone.


Grundmann, who is a chiropractor based in the Bay Area, is partnering with Modesto resident Mylinda Mason for the event. He's also the founder of the four-month-old National Straight Pride Coalition. On its website, it says it aims to promote and defend "Western Civilization," "Caucasians," heterosexuality, a "God ordained natural nuclear family." It also extols the virtues of nationalism.

1. "We're a totally peaceful, racist group."

[Demovictory9]

10. we need green shirt guy to show them how to laugh him out of the room

[rurallib]

2. Perhaps he meant to say "rapist"

People talking about Trump get those two mixed up from time to time.

[Scurrilous]

3. LOL

[guillaumeb]

4. A rare moment of honesty from a racist?

[Auggie]

5. There seems to be many more liberal-minded folk at this meeting than conservatives ...

good for Modesto.

[sandensea]

6. Now that's a Kinsley gaffe

Would that it happened more often with these miscreants.

[IronLionZion]

7. They love all colors of people: pink, orange, white,

straight pride in the liberal Bay area has got to be frustrating and quixotic. Why not move to a conservative area?

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark

Well at least he was honest.

[not fooled]

9. This should do

his practice a lot of good (not).

Why any of these clowns who run businesses get out in public and spew their toxic nonsense is beyond me. Especially someone from the Bay Area, which we all know from faux nooz is a hotbed of librulism.

[calimary]

11. LAUGH at them. BE the green-shirt guy laughing right into the MAGAT's face!

BE the Joe Biden who actually got the giggles, live, and loud, when both Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan made fools of themselves in successive Vice Presidential debates.

Laugh at them. Because they’re absolute torch ‘n’ twang JOKES. And hey, they’ve worked so hard to get to this point!

[Grokenstein]

12. Oops, said the quiet part out loud!

Lot of that going around lately.

13. You lost me at chiropractor

Talk about a phony.
