DURING THE CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR REX TILLERSON, THERE WAS A
BREAK, AND APPARENTLY DURING THAT BREAK THERE WAS FOOTAGE OF
SOMEBODY WHO WAS AT THAT HEARING, WHO TOOK A PHOTO OF HIS
NOTES, WHICH WERE OUT IN THE OPEN.
THAT ANGERED A LOT OF SOME SUPPORTERS, BECAUSE THEY
FELT THAT THERE WAS A REPORTER TRYING TO DO SOMETHING DIRTY.
AS A RESULT, SOME TROLLS ON THE INTERNET TRIED TO FIGURE
OUT WHO THAT WOMAN WAS, AND THEN THEY SENT RANDOM PEOPLE,
WHO WERE EVEN UNVERIFIED TO BE THAT PERSON, REALLY HIDEOUS
THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
SO, A WOMAN AND A GROUP OF MEN HANG AROUND TILLERSON'S
SEAT DURING A BREAK IN HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING.
THE WOMAN NOTICES THAT TILLOTSON LEFT HIS NOTES, WALKS OVER,
AND POSITIONS HERSELF IN A WAY TO SUGGEST THAT SHE IS
TAKING A PHOTO.
SOMEONE TOOK THAT CLIP AND PUT IT ONLINE, AND IT WENT VIRAL.
SOMEONE SOMEWHERE TO ñ DECIDED THE WOMAN WAS ACTUALLY
WASHINGTON POST HOMEPAGE EDITOR DORIS TRUONG.
THAT LED TO A POST ON JIM HOFT'S GATEWAY PUNDIT DECLARIN, "SICK,
WASHINGTON POST REPORTER CAUGHT SNEAKING PICTURES..."
FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS PERSON WAS
EVEN A REPORTER, AND EVEN IF IT WAS A REPORTER, NOTHING
UNETHICAL HAPPENED, BECAUSE REX TILLERSON, EVEN IF HE HAD
SOMETHING SENSITIVE ON THOSE DOCUMENTS, HAD LEFT THEM
OUT ON THE OPEN ñ LET THEM OUT IN THE OPEN.
A REPORTER IS SUPPOSED TO REPORT ON THINGS, AND IF THERE IS NO
REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY BECAUSE SOMETHING
IS LEFT OUT IN OPEN SPACE, HE OR SHE CAN REPORT ON IT.
DO YOU THINK A RIGHT-WINGER WOULD HESITATE FOR EVEN A
SECOND BEFORE TAKING PHOTOS OF NANCY PELOSI'S NOTES, WHICH
SHE LEFT OUT IN PUBLIC?
IT'S NOT EVEN THE BEST PART OF THE STORY, I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE PICTURES AT ALL.
THE BEST PART OF THE STORY IS, IT WASN'T EVEN DORIS TRUONG.
AND SO THEY START FLOODING HER TWITTER WITH HIDEOUS TWEETS.
ONE PERSON WRITES, "JUST DEPORT THIS CUNT ALREADY.
WHY BE NICE ABOUT THIS KIND OF DEVIOUS SHIT?"
YEAH, BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE EDGE OF BEING NICE ABOUT IT AND
THEN CHANGED HIS MIND.
AND NOTICED THE NOT-SO-SUBTLE RACISM OF, DEPORT HER.
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS, BECAUSE YOU GOT THE WRONG
PERSON.
BUT HE'S THINKING, ASIAN, NOT REALLY AN AMERICAN, LET'S DEPORT
HER.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WRITING, FIRE THE BITCH NOW.
THEY CAN'T TELL ONE ASIAN APART FROM THE OTHER, AND THEN
THEY ARE ON THE WARPATH LIKE THEY ARE THE RIGHTEOUS.
BUT WE AREN'T EVEN DONE, THERE'S A SECOND LAYER TO THE STORY.
AFTER IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE WASHINGTON POST EDITOR WAS NOT
THAT INDIVIDUAL THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE GOING
AFTER, INSIDE CLIMATE REPORTER LISA SONG WAS ACCUSED.
OKAY WELL, NOW THEY GOT HER.
SO THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT HER TITLE IS, THAT'S NOT THE
REPUBLICATION ñ ñ
THAT'S NOT THE PUBLICATION THAT REPORTED IT WAS HER.
BUT STILL SHE GOT A BUNCH OF TERRIBLE TWEETS.
THESE ARE JUST TROLLS ON THE INTERNET, AND THEY'VE NOW
MOBILIZED AND GOTTEN TOGETHER.
THERE IS A POLITICAL THING WE CAN USE TO KEEP TROLLING.
HERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN GATHER TOGETHER WITH ONE COMMON THING,
AND, YOU KNOW, I GUESS DIRECT OUR EFFORTS TOWARD ONE THING AT
A TIME.
BASED ON OUR POLITICAL VIEWS, WHICH, BY THE WAY, I DON'T
EVEN KNOW THE PUT VIEWS THEY HAVE.
THEY DON'T EVER USE THEIR REAL NAMES, IT'S ALWAYS RIDICULOUS
PHOTOSHOP IMAGES FOR THEIR AVATARS, THEY MIGHT BE 12
AND 13-YEAR-OLD BOYS.
YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE, AND THEY ARE JUST CLOWNS.
THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HARASS ESPECIALLY WOMEN,
WHO WORK IN THE NEWS, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
AND THEN THEY CRY LIKE LITTLE BABIES IF YOU CALL THEM RACIST.
BUT THEN THERE ARE TWEETS LIKE, GREAT LEADER KIM JONG-UN WOULD
BE SO PROUD OF YOU.
AND THEN THERE'S THE TWEET THAT SAID, "FUCKING CHINK."
AND IF YOU CALL THEM RACIST THEY ARE LIKE, I'M NOT RACIST,
WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME RACIST?
YOU ARE NOT RESPECTING ME, THAT'S WHY YOU LOST THE
ELECTION!
THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS, THEY ARE STILL
RANDOMLY GRABBING ASIAN REPORTERS LIKE, I HATE HER, KICK
HER OUT!
BY THE WAY, IT'S FUNNY, BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE RACIST, YOU
CAN'T STOP.
I KNOW, BUT, THEY MAY VERY WELL BE RACIST, BUT WHAT'S THE
ANATOMY OF AN INTERNET TROLL?
IS TO SAIL RAGES THINGS TO GET A RISE OUT OF PEOPLE.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.
THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY ARE SAYING.
I DON'T CARE, YOU CALL SOMEONE A FUCKING CHINK, YOU ARE A RACIST.
I WAS KIDDING ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A SCUMBAG RACIST I WAS, BUT
THERE'S NO WAY FOR YOU TO PROVE THAT.
I CALLED AN ASIAN PERSON A CHINK, HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE
ME OF RACISM?
I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR THEM OR MAKE AND I COMMIT
THAT THEY ARE NOT RACIST, I AM JUST TRYING TO SAY THAT THEY ARE
GETTING EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT RIGHT NOW.
EVEN THOUGH THIS PROVES THAT THEY ARE MORONS, BUT WE ALREADY
ALL NEW THEY ARE MORONS.
IF YOU WANT TO GET FAMOUS, WHICH IS PART OF WHY THEY ARE DOING
THIS, BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSERS AND CAN'T GET FAMOUS BY DOING
SOMETHING RIGHT.
I CAN'T ACCOMMODATE ANYTHING IN MY LIFE SO I LIKE TO GET
FAMOUS ON TWITTER.
GREAT, TELL US YOUR NAME AND GIVE US YOUR PICTURE, WE'LL
MAKE YOU FAMOUS.
SO WHEN YOUR EMPLOYER FIRES YOU FOR BEING AN OVER-THE-TOP
RACIST SCUMBAG, DON'T COME CRYING.
DID YOU WANT THE FAME OR NOT?
THEN THEY WILL CRY TO THE END OF THE EARTH, THEY OUTED ME!
OH MY
GOD, THEY WON'T LET ME RACIST ANYMORE.
THAT'S HOW ALL THESE BITCHES RUN.
AND THEN WHEN I CALL THEM THAT, OH MY GOD HE CALLED ME A BITCH!
MY FEELINGS ARE HURT!
I NEED A SAFE SPACE.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE VERY SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES.
OKAY GUYS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO DIFFERENT ASIANS ARE
BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS, I KNOW THAT
COMES AS A SHOCK TO YOU.
ONCE YOU START CALLING BLACK PEOPLE THE N-WORD, OR OLD THEY
ARE LAZY, VIOLENT, WHATEVER.
YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO STOP THERE?
THEY ARE GOING TO STOP THERE, THAT'S WHY THE GUYS RUNNING THE
DEPLORABALL GOT INTO A FIGHT OVER JEWS.
THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO STOP.
DO THEY HATE ASIANS?
OF COURSE, LOOK TO THEIR DEAR LEADER IS, STEVE BANNON, ON
TAPE INTERVIEW WHERE HE IS INTERVIEWING DONALD TRUMP
SAYING, THERE ARE TOO MANY ASIAN CEOS IN THE VALLEY.
AND EVEN DONALD TRUMP IS LIKE, SO WHAT?
AND HE'S LIKE, NO THEY AREN'T OUR CULTURE.
SO OF COURSE THEY HATE ASIANS, BECAUSE THEY ARE RACIST.
DO THEY HATE MUSLIMS?
OF COURSE.
DO THEY HATE JEWS?
THEY HATE EVERYBODY, AND THAT'S
WHY THEY ARE HAVING AN ARGUMENT
OVER WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE ANTI-SEMITIC OR NOT.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, AND THERE GUY, STEVE
BANNON, CHIEF STRATEGIST AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
WOW.
I WONDER IF HE CAN TELL DIFFERENT ASIANS APART, BECAUSE
ELAINE CHAO WAS GOING TO BE THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION, SO
I HOPE HE DOESN'T ACCIDENTALLY FIRE HER FOR TAKING REX
TILLERSON'S NOTES.
