MLB Umpire Rob Drake Is Prepared To Shoot People In Defense Of Donald Trump
Major League umpire and apparent MAGA fiend Rob Drake posted and deleted a tweet late Tuesday indicating that he would be purchasing an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle on Wednesday in order to wage "CIVAL WAR" should Congress impeach peabrain president Donald Trump. ...
The tweet was evidently wiped out within moments of going live—I can't even find a screenshot of it—but not before it was reportedly forwarded to MLB. The league told ESPN's Jeff Passan that they are aware of the tweet and someone on their end is "looking into it." Not long after ESPN's report went live Wednesday evening, Drake made his Twitter account private, and then minutes later deleted the entire thing. The original bad tweet was reported in full by Passan, for ESPN:
I will be buying an AR-15 tomorrow, because if you impeach MY PRESIDENT this way, YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER CIVAL WAR!!! #MAGA2020
After that tweet was deleted, several others expanding on the point were still live on Drake's account, including one that lamented "[You can't do] an impeachment inquiry from the basement of Capital Hill without even a vote[! What is going on in this country?]", and a tweet from Wednesday afternoon that repeated a bunch of dreary FOX News talking points:
Okay, so umpires aren't that great at calling balls and strikes, but couldn't they at least be expected to pass a sixth grade spelling test before being allowed onto the field?
Tweet to Drake: "You must be bad at your job since you apparently have terrible vision and hearing. The crimes you’re referring to were literally committed and admitted to by Trump himself, on camera. Do you need a replay challenge to help you out?"
I wish there was a way to fit Elaine and George's dad going at each other as a gif here ( I think it was the Festivus episode); "You want to Cival war ? yoooou got it ........."

ReplyDeleteUSA Today posted screen shots of two Drake tweets before they were deleted:
ReplyDelete"Messages included a claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States and a tweet to Hillary Clinton calling her an "(expletive) liar," demanding the truth about "#benghazzi."
