Trump Taps Wayne Allyn Root To Speak At Vegas Rally

[Initech]

Tonight, President Trump will be holding a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada and he has reportedly asked unhinged right-wing commentator Wayne Allyn Root to be an opening speaker:

Root is a right-wing radio host, Trump–obsessed sycophant, and radical conspiracy theorist who has repeatedly claimed that the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas was carried out by ISIS and asserted that DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered on the orders of high-ranking Democrat officials.

Root has said that “most straight men” are scared of transgender people, claimed that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are gay, declared that liberals were responsible for the overdose death of former Fox News host Eric Bolling’s son, and suggested that Mollie Tibbets was somehow responsible for her own death because she foolishly went running outside.

On his radio show last year, Root declared that Megyn Kelly has struggled in the ratings since leaving Fox News because all liberal men are gay … and that is because all liberal women are ugly:

1. Ummmm...let's see now.

“Robert Mueller has probably never had sex in his life,” Root said. “I know he has never had sex with a beautiful woman. Did you ever see the angry look on Robert Mueller’s face? Robert Mueller needs sex badly and he is so jealous that Donald Trump was a billionaire playboy and obviously had sex with the most beautiful women in the world.”

tRump?
Robert Mueller?

tRump?
Robert Mueller?

What am I missing here? NO F*N CONTEST!!!

Plus, Ann Mueller is a perfectly lovely woman, TYVM.

11. I think Robert Mueller is a very handsome man and Trump is the most hideous man on the

planet. Who has to pay women for sex? Not Mueller. He's out of his warped little mind.

12. I'm with you on that, smirky!

2. Hugely successful playboy who had to pay $130,000 for less than 2 minutes of nothing

4. Surprisingly, according to CNN

Aides quietly stunned by Trump's respectful handling of Kavanaugh accuser

Day-um...does she have something on tRumpie too? That's the only way he shows respect for anyone!

5. Root is ultimate lowlife

I've mentioned him here many times previously. He started in the Las Vegas sport betting scene 25 or 30 years ago, ranting about lock of the century and crap like that.

Then another Las Vegan named Papa Joe Chevalier started turning his own sports radio show into nothing but rants against liberals every day. He had a ready made audience with all the right wing nutcases in the local sports betting scene.

Root realized that he could take it further, and he did, first with rambling letters to the editor to the fishwrapper known as the Las Vegas Review Journal. Those letters were so unhinged he became known for it and he turned his radio show into a daily version of the letters to the editor.

8. They used to run the Papa Joe show here in Iowa back in the 90s! I sort

of recall him expressing some RW leanings, but I guess he decided to let his freak flag fully fly sometime after that.

Thom Hartmann used to regularly debate Root on his show in recent years, but I've been listening to other stuff since I went to SiriusXM.

15. Correct...Papa Joe got much worse later on

"Liberals stand for nothing"

That became his daily theme, with barely any sports commentary surrounding it

9. I did a Top 10 entry on him and he's nuts.

The betting scene in Vegas definitely makes for some strange bedfellows.

17. Strange people but lots of good people also in the sports betting scene

Jimmie "Dy-no-mite" Walker became a Stardust regular in the mid '90s and well into the 2000s. Yes, that Jimmie Walker. He loved to bet the oddball stuff like Canadian Football and the daily "Grand Salami," which is the total of how many goals would be scored in all the NHL games put together that night.

I had a sports score pager in the '90s. Jimmie often would stop me and ask the score of a hockey game. Invariably he'd say something like, "Damn...I need 2 more goals."

Another good guy was Jack Maxwell, who does the "Booze Traveler" show on Travel Channel. Maxwell arrived in town as a young pretty boy who was brought in to host some of the weekly syndicated handicapping shows. Some of us dismissed him as not much of anything until we met him at the Imperial Palace during the '90s, between breaks while he taped those shows in the sportsbook. Genuinely nice guy who would remember your name, greet you the next week, and also had an interesting take on some of the games along with the betting aspect.

13. Oh lord, I remember Papa Joe

Haven’t though of that lowlife hack in years. Is he still above ground?

[Awsi Dooger]

16. Died at age 62 in 2011

Months after a stroke paralyzed him

I knew he died but I had to look up the details.

He was always overweight and he smoked and drank frequently whenever I saw him hanging out in the sportsbooks

6. "People are saying he's one of the few people in America who still think I'm smart!

Very smart! Very very smart! I don't know. But that what I hear. I mean people are saying that. I mean that's what I hear. That's what my staff says. Pedro and that other guy. I think that's his name. Pedro. White House staff. Our Official Hispanic, I think. Great lover of taco bowls. Very very smart! Anyway, here he is. That other guy, I mean"

7. "... Mueller met .. Ann Cabell Standish, at a high school party when they were 17 ...

In September 1966, they married at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. They have two daughters ..."

10. Didn't Las Vegas go heavily for Hillary

Makes you wonder why he still has a radio show. At the very least it makes you wonder why there aren't a thousand people on the sidewalk in front of his stations studio and offices.

These cookiecutter hate talkers are like cockroaches. If you do nothing to stomp them out, they breed and spread everywhere.

14. I'm not defending these guys even slightly but. . .

If we protest outside their stations would that mean that we are protesting free speech? No one wants to be on that side. That would be an instant campaign killer.
