Pennsylvania Republican launches a furor with one weird tweet

On Tuesday afternoon, Pennsylvania politician Dean Browning — a white, heterosexual, self-described “proud pro-life & pro-2A Christian conservative” — tweeted, “I’m a black gay guy and I can personally say that Obama did nothing for me, my life only changed a little bit and it was for the worse.”

The tweet continued: “Everything is so much better under Trump though. I feel respected — which I never do when democrats are involved.”

Browning, who is a former commissioner in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, sent this tweet in response to one of his earlier posts, in which he said, “What Trump built in 4 years, Biden will destroy in 4 months.”

Twitter users leapt on Browning’s bizarre response, many speculating that it was obvious that he had forgotten to log into his “sock puppet” account. A sock puppet account is an online identity used for purposes of deception by concealing its owner’s real identity. In this case, it seemed Browning had exposed an account on which he masquerades as a gay Black Trump supporter.

and he should know because he's a black man, lol, and not only that, he's GAY!
Republicans are so great and not at all the racist homophobes they are accused of being -
Obama and Democrats are the real racists, so there!

from people that claimed to be black or indian women that were attacking Kamala Harris but they went back into their history of posts which showed they were white men. So these fools didn't even take the time to create a different account.

What has Trump done in four years besides embarrass the United States, destroy America's standing in the world, drain the Secret Service's budget, golf, install unqualified judges, cut his own taxes, and rage-tweet?

Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said "the buck stops here." Trump has one that reads "what's in it for me?"

because it was so typical. But then your post pointing out that this originated from a PA GOP loon, caught my attention... And it involves other sock accounts to boot???

I really don't recognize my state anymore. I know every state has a subset of crazies who flowed like slime under the rocks and they just weren't out there continually being reported in the local media. However the past 4 years has brought them all out in full view.
