MAGA influencer Michael Flynn Jr. apparently thought the easiest way he may “celebrate” the beginning of Pride month was by posting an anti-gay meme.
But his trolling efforts failed due to his selection of meme ― a doctored clip from the beloved sitcom “Parks and Recreation” displaying character Ron Swanson tossing a Pride flag right into a dumpster.
That’s as a result of Nick Offerman, the actor who performed Swanson, responded to Flynn with some truths about his character’s relationship with homosexual individuals.
It all began Sunday when Flynn — the son of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who briefly served as President Donald Trump’s nationwide safety adviser throughout his first time period — posted the “Parks and Rec” clip.
In the unique scene from the Season 4 episode “The Trial Of Leslie Knope,” Swanson throws a pc into the dumpster.
Flynn Jr.’s model coated up the pc with a Pride flag, and he wrote:
“Good morning and Happy Sunday!
Just wanted to post how I feel about ‘pride’ month.”
Because Swanson’s character was written as a loving spoof of manly, taciturn guys, he turned an unironic favourite character of conservatives throughout the present’s seven-season run between 2009 and 2015.
Offerman, the actor who performed Swanson, is certainly extra liberal than the gruff director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department. But he responded to Flynn’s anti-Pride submit by noting that Swanson had no downside with homosexual individuals ― and identified that “Ron was best man at a gay wedding you dumb fuck.”
Offerman is referring to a scene within the present’s sequence finale that exhibits among the characters sooner or later, together with Swanson standing up as greatest man on the marriage ceremony of his barber, Typhoon, to his husband, Craig.
You can see a clip of that scene in addition to different exchanges between Swanson and Typhoon right here.
Not surprisingly, many individuals had ideas about Offerman trying to set the report straight about his character’s live-and-let-live philosophy whereas concurrently burning Flynn.
