A woman who gained internet fame for nodding and giving President Donald Trump the thumbs up sign during his Miami town hall on Thursday night could have used the free airtime two years ago because she was running for Congress as a pro-Trump candidate.
Mayra Joli, an immigration attorney and pro-Trump activist who once declared herself Miamis master of selfies during her 2018 campaign, was seated behind the president during his hour-long town hall. After the event, she greeted the president, according to a video posted to her Facebook page.
We have your back! You see, you see you are the best, Joli said to Trump shortly after the event finished.

He sounded angry and drunk on rage.

to get Trump to do a town hall event.
He had to make it look more like his MAGAT rallies

she'll be quickly rendered in plastic with a spring-loaded neck and sold via the trump campaign to adorn dashboards all throughout trumpland . . .

(90,335 posts)9. WTF NBC ?!?! They were supposed to vet the crowd !! CNN said they vetted the crowed throughly

(26,729 posts)10. Two possibilities
1 - theyre really bad at the vetting and its too easy to fill them.
2 - they were embarrassed by their prior mistake in this area and were trying to show balance
Both may be true
