The hallmark of the modern reactionary is that they are so immersed in their own bullshit that they don’t understand how facile and corny their understanding of the world is.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

I know absolutely nothing about this Tommy guy, but I know he knows his golf handicap.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I have my doubts about Tommy being in good faith in asking this question. He kept repeating it as if he could not even grasp what AES was explaining. Sounds like "my mind is made up don't confuse me with the fact" attitude. Not at all a "genuine" disposition towards debate.

Tommy is a former staffer to Senator and Runner Josh Hawley. He's a Republican operative, pushing the racist Republican line.

Great job by Abdul El-Sayed! And the questioner is Tommy Teepell, a former Senate staffer to Josh Hawley, whose father is a big Republican donor. Apparently, also, a Christian Nationalist who wants the government to carry out his extremist version of Christianity.
