Republican Convention Turns Into Coke Fueled Fear Fest

We predicted that the Republican Convention would be a freakshow, and they certainly gave us a freakshow. Between Kimberly Guilfoyle's screaming, Don Jr.'s frantic speech pattern, and Matt Gaetz's fear mongering, the Republican Party looked like a group of junkies who belong in rehab instead of on stage for a political party. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well, last night was the first night of the Republican national convention. And last week we warned it was going to be a freak show. And, uh, I think it's safe to say we were right. In fact, it was a little more than a freak show. The whole thing pretty much turned into a Coke, fueled fear Fest, uh, based on what was going on on stage. Uh, we had people like Kimberly, Guilfoyle shouting screaming at the top of her lungs to an empty room. Uh, we had Don jr with his bloodshot eyes and a late night infomercial type sales pitch of this could all be yours. And of course we had Matt Gates who came out there and said that if you vote for Joe Biden, uh, he's going to let ms 13 essentially come and murder you. Uh, it was insane folks. It was pure, insane insanity, but let's start with the one everybody's obviously talking about, right? And that is Kimberly Guilfoyle, who, uh, spoke for a few seconds over six minutes, shouting almost the entire time at a room full of nobody. Here's, here's a clip of a ms. Guilfoyle speaking to that nonexistent crowd.

They want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear, they want to steal your Liberty, your freedom. They want to control what you see and think and believe so that they can control how you live. They want to enslave you to the weak dependent, liberal victim ideology to the point that you will not recognize this country or yourself.

And that was actually a Tamer part of her speech, by the way, that was not the loudest that she got during that. But that kind of gives you a good idea of where her, where her center was through most of that speech. Um, that's kind of nuts, right? Why are you screaming? You're talking into a microphone. You don't need to yell. I understand, you know, sometimes the emotions take over and you yell for a second, but you yelled the whole damn thing, like start to finish there. There were no breaks in there, no pauses in there. And as somebody pointed out on Twitter, I wish I remembered who so I could give them credit. It's even funnier given the fact that you can hear her voice echoing back to her because it's an empty room, but that also actually goes to show that the Republican convention has no problem wasting money, because they could have had her do this speech in a, in a makeshift studio.

They could have sent her to an actual TV studio that has soundproofing on the walls, you know, rented that for 1500 bucks for an hour. But instead they had to make up this whole stage. They had to rent this room. They had to do all of this, probably spent thousands and thousands of dollars for the president's sons, girlfriend to yell in an empty room and of the president's son. Uh, the dude looked like he had been doing cocaine for three days straight. I'm not saying he did. I'm saying, that's what he looked like. He got up on stage bloodshot eyes kept like tripping over his words, his eyes kinda like he didn't quite know where he was. And of course, like I mentioned earlier, he was making that infomercial style sales pitch saying, if you get another four years of Donald Trump, this too can be yours.
