The GOP’s worst enemy: non-senior citizens
Highlights: Quinn Mitchell wanted to know if Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida believed that former President Donald J. Trump had violated the peaceful transfer of power on Jan. 6, 2021.
But the teenager said he was not prepared for what happened on Friday, when he was briefly ejected by police officers from the First in the Nation Leadership Summit, a candidate showcase organized by the New Hampshire Republican Party. The two-day event in Nashua, N.H., featured Mr. DeSantis and most of the G.O.P. field, but not Mr. Trump.
“They said, ‘We know who you are,’” Quinn, who has his own political blog and podcast, said in a phone interview on Saturday from his home in Walpole, N.H., referring to the organizers of the summit.
“Are you in high school? said Mr. DeSantis, who has faced criticism as a candidate for not being fluid when interacting with voters and journalists, a dynamic that has made for some awkward exchanges on the campaign trail.
Brought to you by the party of “just asking questions”.
Are you in high school?
Yes, and?
Might be looking for a way to threaten him. I.e. stfu or you will get expelled or something.
Nah, probably just being dismissive.
Incidentally, when I was in High School, Russ Feingold was having a town meeting the the schools’ theater and my civics class went down to watch. I had a prepped question regarding online regulation (I seem to remember that COPPA had passed around that time). While I don’t remember his exact answer, he treated it with respect and gave me a kudos for a good question.
In short, Russ Feingold is ten times the public servant compared to any of the clowns in the GOP today. And most Democrats for that matter, as well.
The video in the article only shows the question, wasn’t there one floating around of him getting kicked out? I looked but couldn’t find it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
It was the type of tough question a Republican presidential candidate might get on a Sunday morning talk show, only the person asking it was 15: Quinn Mitchell wanted to know if Gov.
So did the pair’s next encounter at a July 4 parade in Merrimack, N.H., where a video showed Quinn, an aspiring journalist, being shooed away by a handler for the Florida governor.
But the teenager said he was not prepared for what happened on Friday, when he was briefly ejected by police officers from the First in the Nation Leadership Summit, a candidate showcase organized by the New Hampshire Republican Party.
Quinn, who received a guest credential for the summit from the state’s G.O.P., said a person associated with the event had told him that he had a history of being disruptive and had accused him of being a tracker, a type of political operative who records rival candidates.
According to his website, Quinn has attended more than 80 presidential campaign events since he was 10, taking advantage of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation status in the nominating process to pose questions to candidates.

Quinn Mitchell wanted to know if Gov.
Oof. Bad bot
Wow, NYT article published Oct. 14th, but this was all over the news back when it happened, first in June when he got the question asked, and again in July when they bounced him from the events.
Soooo… “Behind the times?” :)
Nah, they’ve been following this the whole time. I have read at least three NYT articles about this kid over the summer.
Maybe it’s about stopping the people from talking about Palestinian deaths, support 15yo pointy question asker, and shit on desantis?
Rightfully shitting on D. Sand-ass, but wrongfully drawing attention away from the current crisis in the Middle East.
Rhonda Sand Tits absolutely deserves every bit of vitriol the internet can muster, as does the Zionist theocracy. Authoritarian bullshit is happening all over
If you are scared of being questioned by those with differing political beliefs you aren’t cut out to be the leader of a country.
If you are scared of being questioned by a 15 year old, you aren’t even fit to be leader of a high school.

Once again, government employees suppressing free speech.
Oh, almost forgot – only the Second Amendment matters.
Don’t let them fool you into thinking they’re pro 2A. Some of the largest gun control bills have been from the GOP and the only presidents to pass specific gun restrictions have been republican. Reagan is the reason CA has such strict gun laws from bills he passed as the governor. Trump enacted the current ban on bump stocks. The GOP is pro “guns for me and not for thee.”
No no no… you see, freedom is a very fluid term. It means what we say it means in the moment.
I’m glad to see a young person taking these pieces of shit on.
I’m 62 and I’ve never voted for one of these RepubliKKKlan motherfuckers in my life.
It’s not hard to see why young people could be disaffected. Wages have been low and housing costs are through the roof.
It’s great to see a young guy taking them on And the repuplicnlown reaction: clutch pearls in terror.
Asking all them questions, making statements, assuming?
Yup… new Hampshire is full of trashy 3 percenters and criminals.
Our cops are jokes that don’t help people in need.
We have 3%ers working in our government positions.
It’s all criminal gang shit.
NH is tries to look good but it’s really a shit hole of people kept quiet for corruption. Never underestimate naive regular citizens that will bend for criminals.
Surely they meant poignant, right?

Can he not answer a high school student’s question?
Also, centrists: I’ve seen you use this exact phrase when talking to people who disagree with you from your left. DeSantis acts like you do.
Anyone who calls themselves a Centrist in 2023 is saying they’re Republicans except they’re pussies and don’t want to be directly associated with a fascist group. Idk what’s worse, psychos that are proud of being fascist or cowards that don’t want to admit it.
Thank god the cops didn’t beat the shit out of the kid too. They would have if he was black.
