Another dog and pony show being organised to produce vox-pops for MAGA cultists who define themselves by not reading past the headline, as part of Republican congressman Jim Jordan's '1st Amendment for me, but not for thee' 'constitutionalist' push.

Tbh Linehan was very lucky he was he was cleared of assaulting a teenage trans activist at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in September, instead getting away with a minor conviction for damaging her phone.

Well that's because he didn't assault him, just chucked his phone out of the door into the street.

This activist was at the event getting in everyone's faces looking for a reaction, and Linehan was, as usual, hot-headed enough to provide such a reaction.

Ah yes, the inevitable green accounts playing down a 56 year celebrity and anti-trans activist harassing a teenage girl in public

//"He said ‘go away groomer’, ‘go away you disgusting incel’. He called her a ‘sissy porn-watching scumbag’ … He deliberately whacked the phone out of Ms Brooks’s hand.”

To be clear, long before his event, Linehan had persistently called Brooks a "sociopath", "psycho", "domestic terrorist" and "groomer" on X, posting about her dozens of times since at least March of last year. Other claims he makes about the teenage girl include deriding her as “a sociopathic misogynist who harasses women,” and a “dangerous sadist,” and talks about “[sticking] cameras up [her] arse.”

These comments were all made about Brooks when she was underage. Linehan also assaulted her and destroyed her property when she was a minor. Replace the trans component and any reasonable 3rd party would be up in arms, not hiding behind a green account to white-wash their bigotry.
