The Wohl press conference appears to have been delayed by a loud garbage truck collecting trash behind us.

8. This is turning into Guerrilla street theatre,

Just too ridiculous to take with even a grain of serious consideration.

They just need to be shunned. Absent any attention, they will either go away or get so outrageous that legal remedies will have to be employed.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

12. That's where Jack Burkman lives. He doxxed himself in the press release. NT

17. The "bodyguard" at Wohl's press conference was armed with two old-style brick cellphones....

The "bodyguard" at Wohl's CPAC press conference was wearing a single Airpod and trying to pass it off as a security earpiece.

This time his "bodyguard" appears to be armed with two old-style brick cellphones and toy store handcuffs looped on his belt.

Why bother with a meeting? Your son can just meet some hapless stooge at Starbucks and coerce him into saying he's @JonahNRO.

Link to tweet

No no - Jacob would arrange to meet him out front of his house, on trash pick up day, to film the encounter

*checks*

Huh. Turns out that IS a category on pornhub...

Here's how that exchange started:

Hey Jonah, I suggest you arrange a meeting with Jacob and say this to his face, rather than defaming him with your sexual fantasies on Twitter you disgusting coward. @FoxNews

Link to tweet

This is going to end with a video of Wohl doing some real serious gay porn while wearing a Buttigieg mask he made off a black and white copier.

Link to tweet

Jacob Wohl is now going through grainy footage of their Buttigieg “accuser” with a Starbucks drink like it’s the Zapruder tape: “Most forced coercion events...do not involve caramel frappucinos.”

I'd be happy to attend that meeting as well, Jonah. Let me know. Any time, anywhere.

Confrontation and giggles at Jacob Wohl press conference

By Jared Holt
MAY 9, 2019

ON WEDNESDAY, A DOZEN REPORTERS stood on a brick driveway in Arlington, Virginia. They were awaiting the arrival of right-wing agitator and fabulist Jacob Wohl, who had announced a press conference to address reports that his recently botched “investigation” into 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg had been a not-so-elaborate hoax.
....

A few minutes after 10am, Wohl and Burkman exited the front door of Burkman’s home and mounted a podium at the top of the stairs leading up from the driveway, towering above the assembled press, which included reporters from The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, the Washington Examiner, Washingtonian magazine.

After their prepared remarks, the pair offered reporters the opportunity to “crossexamine” them. They obliged. When Burkman and Wohl were unable to explain plot gaps in their fabricated stories, The Daily Beast’s Will Sommer asked, “How can anyone take you seriously at this point, and second of all, you’re clearly lying, right? So, what’s the deal?” He received a canned answer about truth-seeking.
