"MAGA trolls wasted no time spewing racist epithets online after a Mexican Navy sailing ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, killing 2 crew members.
The ship’s tall masts crumbled against the bridge as onlookers watched in horror on Saturday; 277 people were on board, according to The New York Times.
Yet the shock of the incident didn’t last long as MAGA used the incident to wage political attacks against the country.
“In an absolutely stunning modern metaphor a ship blaring Mexican music and flying a massive Mexican flag just got destroyed by the Brooklyn bridge,” wrote right-wing serial plagiarist and misinformation peddler Benny Johnson.
“Can’t make it up,” he added.
MAGA grim reaper and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer commented under the tweet, “They sent their tired, their poor, and their huddled masts,” to which Johnson responded, “Nailed it.”"
