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.
What a bunch of delicate fragile snowflake princesses. Reminder that these candidates are running for the toughest job in government and feel threatened by interacting with a child.
Well said Jim, Jim and Jim.

God, aren’t those Jims just beautiful
Go kid go. I really hope that he doesn’t see this kind of thing as a setback.
This kid has been doing this for years. He’s a rockstar, and he has been detained before. This is the first time he’s been ejected by police from an event, but DeSantis security surrounded him at another event and protected the candidate from his dreaded questions.
Being ejected from an event for asking a political candidate a question is the most authoritarian shit I’ve ever heard happen in a democracy.
You must not have heard much of American history.
Or just history in general
“Are you in high school? said Mr. DeSantis
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.
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.
is there a mirror to skip the paywall?

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.
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.

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.
Oh these young GOP idealists are in for a rude lesson.
Then again, the Log Cabin Republicans, LGBT for Trump, and similarly ludicrous groups are still attracting members, so…
I read the article and watched the NBC interview with the kid and I couldn’t get any sense of his ideological leanings. He seems to be legitimately a politics geek and aspiring journalist. I can’t confidently categorize him as a “young GOP idealist.”
But to your second point, I always have a hard time understanding how anyone who isn’t an old white guy could get behind the GOP.
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.
The Florida governor pivoted, arguing that if the 2024 election focused on “relitigating things that happened two, three years ago, we’re going to lose.”
Oh, you mean the shit you guys last did when in power?
I wonder why you might not want to talk about that?
Do you not want to admit that you’re going to do exactly the same shit all over again?‘Can we please stop talking about all the illegal and unethical things we did? Uhhh Hillary’s emails!’
hunter biden did a drugs guys why r we talking about giving out nuclear secrets
Because it’s Benghazi o’clock.
Asking all them questions, making statements, assuming?
Thank god the cops didn’t beat the shit out of the kid too. They would have if he was black.
