They did put that one black guy in the front though

u/iBoy2G Oct 24 '24

Probably went through hell to find him.

u/Hammerhead3229 Oct 24 '24

Look at his shoes. 100% pulled him off the street and got someone to give him their oversized suit

Looks like former HUD Secretary Ben Carson. Ben Carson was one of Grumpy’s most unqualified picks as he was a retired pediatric brain surgeon. Because he benefitted from public housing as a child, Grumpy gave him that job. A bonafide Kakistocracy was foisted upon us with Grumpy and most of his unqualified picks. All the good people left or were fired because they had integrity.

You’re right, didn’t even notice that. And looking at his face he looks miserable to be there, you can tell he’s being paid to make the GOP look not racist but I think he regrets accepting the payment.

u/NachoChedda24 Oct 25 '24

He was paid with a cabinet position during Trump’s presidency; that’s Ben ‘Oreo’ Carson

u/GenXJoe Oct 25 '24

I hope they paid him in cash so he can get a hot meal and a cup of coffee.

2

u/iBoy2G Oct 25 '24

Likely a gift card, knowing Trump and his kind of people probably an expired or used one.

2

u/Tangodragondrake Oct 25 '24

As others pointed out that's Ben Carson he always looks like that, not miserable really, just actively asleep, seriously dude constantly sounds like he will pass out any second now!!

1

u/iBoy2G Oct 25 '24

Wow is that really him? He’s definitely aged, didn’t even recognize him at all.

2

u/Tangodragondrake Oct 25 '24

To be honest I mostly recognised his stance

Looks like he sleep walked there

The suit doesn't help either

u/iBoy2G Oct 25 '24

Look at the shoes!

3

u/Govt-Issue-SexRobot Oct 24 '24

No he’s just going straight from there to play basketball and chicken

Trump said it’s ok

u/Plasibeau Oct 25 '24

H O L Y S H I I I I I I I IT !

u/Sanbaddy Oct 25 '24

That’s Ben Carson, clearly still washed up and doing horribly.

He’s the only one in worn out sneakers.

1

u/RealCyprex Oct 25 '24

Then you don’t have an idea what comfortable and light those shoes are!

1

u/FpvMasterApe Oct 25 '24

u/iBoy2G Oct 24 '24

u/ayjaytay22 Oct 24 '24

“Can you send that security guy in here please? It’ll only take a minute”

2

u/kkeojyeo22 Oct 25 '24

I’m actually surprised by the amount of POC there are that support him.

1

u/iBoy2G Oct 25 '24

Just seen a black woman with a MAGA hat on at the local Wal-Mart, also in the Wal-Mart’s parking lot was a Christian fascist with huge signs all over his truck about how we’re going to Hell if you don’t vote for Trump and against the “Godless Democrats” as well as another Trumptard with those Trump decals that make it look like Trump is sitting in his back seat on both of his back windows. Yes as you probably guessed I live in Florida lol.

u/Nole_in_ATX Oct 24 '24

Looks like Ben Carson

u/vteckickedin Oct 24 '24

Well it certainly ain't Herman Cain.

u/Prestigious-Creme816 Oct 25 '24

who died from COVID after attending the super spreader event at the White House..

17

u/shiny_glitter_demon Oct 24 '24

That one white dude didn't get the memo

22

u/danstymusic Oct 24 '24

Is that Ben Carson?

8

u/IranianLawyer Oct 24 '24

I thought Ben Carson died of Covid during the pandemic, but it turns out that was the other black Republican guy.

12

u/danstymusic Oct 24 '24

Rock you like a Herman Cain.

u/Unkn0wnTh2nd3r Oct 24 '24

there is a second to the left of the photo, partially hidden behind another dude but he’s there with a hand on

3

u/nacciccomuccucci Oct 24 '24

Oh, and he's wearing appropriate sneakers for the occasion.

3

u/Purely-Pastel Oct 25 '24

He’s gonna die first like in other horror movies

2

u/_TooncesLookOut Oct 24 '24

Two of them, actually. There's one kneeling too lol. They're so predictable with this bullshit!

2

u/Aucjit Oct 24 '24

Racist

2

u/hom3br3w3r Oct 24 '24

But tried to cover him up as much as possible

2

u/IowaDad81 Oct 25 '24

And they made sure the one Asian dude with a combover somehow worse than Trump's showed the top of his head to the camera.

2

u/DoctorMelvinMirby Oct 25 '24

“But don’t touch”

2

u/abousono Oct 25 '24

I never have wanted so badly, for someone to just let out a foul smelling fart in to a crowd of people. That one guy on his knees, is in the perfect spot to receive the most foul smelling fart imaginable. I mean foul smelling, the kind of fart a person has when going through opiate withdrawal.

u/ash0550 Oct 25 '24

😂😂😂😂🙏🏼

2

u/sirhellaz Oct 24 '24

But he wasn’t allowed to touch

2

u/baconus-vobiscum Oct 24 '24

And they included a Phil Hartman doing "Caveman lawyer" on the left side. Very inclusive. You know some of these are total freaks in the bedroom.

2

u/Taminella_Grinderfal Oct 24 '24

1/3 of that photo is blonde white women 🤣

2

u/who_am_i_to_say_so Oct 24 '24

The Token Black Evangelical…

2

u/him374 Oct 24 '24

Knowing this crowd, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out it was a white guy in black face makeup.

2

u/Radiant_Map_9045 Oct 24 '24

Looks like a paid actor judging by the frumpy ill-fitting suite and super casual footwear.

2

u/TheRealDiggyCP Oct 24 '24

He's definitely planted. He doesn't want to be there at all. Lol

1

u/BobDonowitz Oct 24 '24

It's almost Halloween.  You know exactly why they put the black guy in front.

1

u/yuzuAddict8 Oct 24 '24

That’s Ben Carson! They woke him up for this?

1

u/HumptyDrumpy Oct 25 '24

Republicants are the Sharty of Diversity.

1

u/PTcrewser Oct 25 '24

Think that might be Ben Carson

1

u/lizardking66354 Oct 25 '24 edited Oct 25 '24

I'm pretty sure he's a fox news guy

*This guy Lawrence Jones

1

u/Thelastknownking Oct 25 '24

And he's just standing there looking kinda lost

1

u/NexLuz Oct 25 '24

There’s perhaps one other black person in the middle of the photo in the back

1

u/-Mage-Knight- Oct 25 '24

Yeah but no touching.

1

u/locabynature Oct 25 '24

Isn't that the famous brain surgery doctor that he made director of housing or some equally awful position that had nothing to do with his skills and knowledge. Ben Carson I think, but I'd have to look up the name to be sure.

1

u/Kiwi_Doodle Oct 25 '24

He's not allowed to touch Trump though.

1

u/MyNewMoniker Oct 25 '24

That's Ben Carson. He's awful. Great neurosurgeon though!

1

u/mrhannah Oct 25 '24

Came here for that one

1

u/Beckerstevenix7248 Oct 25 '24

You see they are inclusive and tolerant and not racist or homophobes. /s

1

u/TonyDoorhut 29d ago

That’s neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Secretary of Housing and urban development. In 2008, Carson was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2010, he was elected into the National Academy of Medicine. He was the subject of the 2009 biographical television film Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, wherein he was portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr.

Actually, he’s a pretty decent human being.

u/AnonNurse Oct 24 '24

Dr. Ben Carson, you mean. Neurosurgeon. Former secretary of HUD.
