I Got Kicked Out of the Texas Democrat Convention
« on: July 16, 2022, 12:16:01 am »
Texas Scorecard by  Brandon Waltens | July 15, 2022

What don’t the Democrats want you to see?

Like other media outlets, Texas Scorecard applied in June for press credentials to the biennial event, where the party creates its platform and gears up for the November election.

As recently as last week, we were assured by party staff that we “should be all set” and that credentials would be emailed out shortly before the convention.

The credentials never arrived.

So, on Friday morning, we drove up to Dallas to report on the event and were delighted to see the convention center was far from being “at capacity,” as we had been told
All was fine as we set up a camera and microphone in a lightly-traveled hallway on the ground floor and began to ask willing participants various relevant questions:

•   Is this your first time at the Democrat convention?

•   What priorities do you care about?

•   Do you think Beto O’Rourke has a chance in November?

•   Do you think Joe Biden will be the nominee in 2024?

After holding polite, informative interviews for over an hour, a disruptive attendee began to hurl obscenities and shout that we were “fascists.”

Then, she brought a few friends who began taunting us and yelling for the purpose of disrupting an interview.

With the mob cheering on, one of the KBH Center’s “security” ushers soon informed us the event was “private” and that we must leave. (She also was probably unaware of state law on the matter.)

Thinking back, I’m not sure who tipped them off, though State Rep. Julie Johnson (D-Carrollton) had fired off a tweet earlier in the morning.

Beware of this guy from Texas Scorecard. His name is Brandon and he’s not at the #TexasDemConvention in a friendly capacity. #TDP22

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, if you aren't doing anything wrong, there's nothing to hide, right?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"In a friendly capacity"? So the media people given credentials are there "in a friendly capacity"?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
