White Politician Forgets To Switch Accounts, Starts Commenting As A Black Trump Supporter
When it seems like the level of absurdity can’t get any higher in the context of the 2020 election and its aftermath (the infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping conference, anyone?!), the world proves us wrong.
This time, people on the internet have busted Republican Dean Browning, a white man who ran and lost in the 2020 Republican primary for US House Pennsylvania District 7, for tweeting “I’m a black gay guy” from his official account. The now-deleted and archived tweet is as surreal as it gets, and it just shows how far some Republicans are willing to go to throw some serious shade on Democrats.
So what happened? Well, Twitter users believe Dean forgot to switch his official account to his Democrat-shaming alter ego account where he’d embody a black and gay guy whose life under Obama changed for the worse. But people online have seen things and all, and you can’t expect them to stay oblivious to such an incident. If there was an award for a first-class piece of wrong account action, you need not guess who’d be the winner.

But people suspect Dean forgot to switch his official account when he posted this tweet

The Republican former Lehigh County commissioner, who lost a congressional primary this year, describes himself “a proud pro-life & pro-2A Christian conservative dedicated to enacting common sense solutions to Keep America Great” on his official Twitter account. After joining the platform on December 2015, Dean Browning now has 52.8K followers.
Considering Dean’s presence on social media, it surely came as a surprise when he posted the now-deleted tweet. The infamous tweet was posted in response to one Twitter user who criticized President Donald Trump for destroying Obama’s administration’s accomplishments. The tweet quickly went viral and was ranked No.2 on a list for trending Twitter topics.
And it got picked up by Twitter users immediately

People on social media quickly came up with rather sinister explanations, claiming Dean had meant to tweet from a fake account. But Dean soon had an explanation at hand when he tweeted “I was quoting a message that I received earlier this week from a follower,” except most people were not buying it.
He also shared a video featuring a man who stated: “… I am indeed a gay, black man. The message that you saw on Dean’s Twitter was posted—I don’t actually know how it was posted—but I did send it to him because I had a problem with how people of my race and sexual persuasion are treating Donald Trump.”
But the account that shared the video backing up Dean’s defense was suspended by Twitter for violating their rules.

People suspected that the fake account was supposed to be “Dan Purdy,” who looks a lot like Patti Labelle’s son

Other people suspected Dean could have hired a fake actor

We see a pattern of lying tweets next getting debunked and ridiculed and next "explained" with another obvious lie. Sad part is that the majority of Trumpvoters will believe the "explanation" and will go crazy on those "libtards dragging a honest white Christian patriot through the mud."

I don't personally understand how someone can be a Trump supporter without ignoring reality, but I will say, there are plenty of people ready to accept any information that supports their own views regardless of how dubious the source.

“Many people say wont say it vocally, but will say it privately”. How do YOU know? That’s utter garbage. Do you know how many progressions for LGBTQ rights have been lost under this administration? Absolute trash.

Dean Browning should be ashamed of himself right now. It is absolutely disgraceful what he did and to come up with an explanation like that makes it even worse. I don't understand why so many people in our country are behaving so childishly right now, but it is sad.

And this ladies and gents is what we call white privilege. Can you imagine if a black man did this same thing? This is gross. Disrespectful. I have no words. He honestly should just cancel his Twitter accounts and go live in a cave somewhere

I'm not saying that all Christians are perfect and not racist at all, because I know that a lot of them are; but I am a Christian and I do NOT support Trump! I would really like it if people would stop saying that all Christians support Trump. That's like saying that all Germans were Nazis during WW2 (it's just an example, and I'm not trying to be rude or ignorant or anything.). It's just really unfair to assume that because as Christians who believe that every life is precious, we all support Trump. Personally, I am appalled that Trump calls himself a Christian. I think that he acts like a racist 5 year old who wants more cookies. Please just think about what I said and remember that what you say about certain groups of people can really hurt them. Thank you.

Three quarters of the Evangelical Christians still support Trump and this makes it all the more important that people like you speak up. "Exit polls showed that 75% of white evangelicals voted for Trump this year, compared with 81% four years ago. The group, which makes up almost one in five of the US electorate, carries significant weight and was credited with being a major factor in Trump’s 2016 victory."
