What a racist piece of shit.
Go back to your redneck farm you fucking hick.
Gill married Danielle D'Souza, the daughter of conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza, in 2017. They have two children and live in Flower Mound, Texas.
So Gill's father and wife are okay but a foreigner with differing political opinions is crossing the line?
Who? Man nobody has heard of desperate for warmth of spotlight.
Didnt they have the same reaction when somebody ate a cheese steak with a knife and fork? The things they fixate on...
Maybe if we keep squawking about a bunch of dumb shit, nobody will notice how many rural Americans are about to be fucked 6 ways from Sunday by this big beautiful bill. Then we can spin it as this guy eating with his hands made you lose your healthcare.
Go back to the third world where you'll have healthcare, and food is cheap, and many services are provided by the government. Go back to where medicine can be bought without 4 doctors turning their medi-square tip screen around, where self made men can become something without the financial backing of a sexual terrorist. Go back to a land of opportunity, of potential, of downtrodden poor people in need of a voice. Go back and help them rise to the top.
We're trying to become the world's last 3rd world country here.
Oh, I'm sorry. Which country is it again that can't do UHC but can spend billions on blowing up rockets while people starve and or can't find homes/shelter in this same "first world country"?
Is it India? Because that's where Gill's father in law, political commentator and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is from. Maybe the D'Souzas can leave and take Gill with them.
Words cannot describe the hate I have for the entire American establishment with the exception of Bernie, Zohran, and AOC.
Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Mark Kelly I'll even chuck Tim Waltz in there.
Don’t forget Scott Kelly, not a politician but spaceman and just as cool as his twin.
Maybe we need more astronauts in government, take a good look at the big blue ball before making life and death decisions.
Add them to the exceptions too
Jasmin Crockett might be a decent addition too. Wish Katie Porter was still in.
We should throw in Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan.
It's got to be draining when you know half of your peers don't even read the cases anymore
Hot Take, I don't like Tim "Expand Israel's Borders" Walz.
Not really sure that's his stance. Pretty sure he's made it clear they shouldn't be killing Palestinian kids
Tim Walz said it was his stance during the debates, live on CNN.
MB: Thank you, Norah. Earlier today, Iran launched its largest attack yet on Israel. But that attack failed thanks to joint U.S. and Israeli defensive action. President Biden has deployed more than 40,000 U.S. military personnel and assets to that region over the past year to try to prevent a regional war. Iran is weakened, but the U.S. still considers it the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and it has drastically reduced the time it would take to develop a nuclear weapon. It is down now to one or two weeks time. Governor Walz, if you are the final voice in the situation room, would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran? You have two minutes.
TW: Well, thank you. And thank you for those joining at home tonight. Let's keep in mind where this started. October 7th, Hamas terrorists massacred over 1400 Israelis and took prisoners. Iran, or, Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is absolutely fundamental, getting its hostages back, fundamental, and ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there. You saw it experienced today, where, along with our Israeli partners and our coalition, able to stop the incoming attack. But what's fundamental here is that steady leadership is going to matter. It's clear. And the world saw it on that debate stage a few weeks ago. A nearly 80 year old Donald Trump talking about crowd sizes is not what we need in this moment. But it's not just that. It's those that were closest to Donald Trump that understand how dangerous he is when the world is this dangerous. His Chief of Staff, John Kelly, said that he was the most flawed humanity being he'd ever met. And both of his Secretaries of Defense and his national security advisors said he should be nowhere near the White House. Now, the person closest to them, to Donald Trump, said he's unfit for the highest office. That was Senator Vance. What we've seen out of Vice President Harris is we've seen steady leadership. We've seen a calmness that is able to be able to draw on the coalitions, to bring them together, understanding that our allies matter. When our allies see Donald Trump turn towards Vladimir Putin, turn towards North Korea, when we start to see that type of fickleness around holding the coalitions together, we will stay committed. And as the Vice President said today, is we will protect our forces and our allied forces, and there will be consequences.
Now don't get me wrong, I voted for him as Harris' VP and I would do it again, but I do not like him and I would not be happy if he runs again.
Sounds like he's inviting him to Washington D.C.
Think the overt racism is bad now; it’s only going to get progressively worse.
It's the only way the right is progressive.
remember, the super rich are the enemy of the people, not your fellow citizens from different backgrounds
I have more in common with a homeless person in Somalia, India, or China than I do with the super rich.

scum on earth deserves to be shot
He's already there dipshit. Look around you
I feel like the US is more like a Second World country. By "Second World", I mean the countries that are more aligned to Russia than to NATO. That description now fits the US, unfortunately.
Happy cake day fellow ~~ex-Redditor~~ lemming

Remember the days when an openly racist comment like this would mean the end of your political career?
For Republicans it actually boosts their poll numbers.
People want to be openly racist again. That's what MAGA really means.

Blatant racism aside, look around at the devastation wrought by repugnantcon policies buddy. Zohran is already in a 3rd world shithole, and he has the audacity to try to make it somewhat more tolerable for those in his city.
The term is pretty racist itself, since it was created to refer to tertiary countryies in the Cold War, but soon came to simultaneously suggest those countries were lesser. Calling a failing state "3rd world" just further perpetuates that.

Brandon Gill can go crawl up whatever asshole shat him out.
Republican Representative Brandon Gill has told New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to "go back to the Third World" in response to a video of him eating with his hands.
I guess this asshole has never eaten a burger, chicken, hot dog etc. Fucking racist piece of shit.
I might start eating Doritos with a fork and knife just to be extra "civilized".
Brandon Gill does, in fact, look like the kind of person who would eat a burger with a knife and fork.
Hell, I’ll eat anything with my hands if it means Americans can have universal healthcare.
