#plaidshirtguy at Trump rally is ... a Billings high schooler
Billings Gazette ^ | 9/7/18 | Mike Kordenbrock

Posted on 09/07/2018 4:34:07 PM PDT by madprof98

Billings West High School senior Tyler Linfesty learned Thursday morning during first period that he had been selected for VIP treatment at President Donald J. Trump's rally at MetraPark.

Linfesty had applied for tickets to the rally earlier in the week. After earning VIP treatment, he went to tell his friends.

Fellow seniors Erik Hovland and Christian Dunlap were walking to class when Linfesty "approached us in the hallway looking pretty frantic, talking about how he gets the opportunity to get a picture with the president," Hovland said.

***

Early on in the Trump rally, a Billings Gazette reporter saw staffers in the press pen looking at a photo in which Linfesty was circled.

Later Linfesty pinned a stylized rose emblem representing the Democratic Socialists of America to his right breast. The same group of staffers reviewed a photo of the emblem and searched online for more information. A short while later, Linfesty was removed.

"I saw this woman walking toward me on the left," he said. "She just said to me, 'I'm going to replace you.'"

***

As a joke, he also gave a copy of the "Communist Manifesto" wrapped with an "Art of the Deal" cover to Secret Service in hopes of having the president sign it. Agents did not grant his request, and the president didn't sign the book, he said.

"I didn't do it because I'm a communist," Linfesty said. "I did it because I thought it was funny as a joke."

Did you see that kid above him that kept moving around? She was picking her nose and eating boogers. That dingaling woman she was with was draped in a flag and was almost as obnoxious as her kid.

He was also obviously ‘making faces’ and shaking his head ‘no’ in disagreement trying to ridicule when President Trump was making points. It was obvious he was there to cause a spectacle. He wanted to be noticed.

Guess he was hoping to be an instant celebrity from his ‘performance’. He might still be— considering how the democommirats scrape the bottom of the barrel for their entertainer/activists.

I am guessing the ‘lottery’ for the ticket was rigged by the someone(or someones) at the school. You know the education system loved to have the kids sing ‘hail to b-hussein-bama’. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

Where did he learn to be do deceitful? Parents, schools, friends, TV or other social media? Obviously he never learned proper etiquette.

Yes, that girl was so annoying. She looked like she was on something. Never seen such a fidgeter.

“Freepers on the live thread were all over this guy. They KNEW there was something hinky about this guy.”

Yeah; we were. With so many smart FReepers, I’m surprised nobody noticed the commie logo flannel-shirt guy had on his shirt. Youtube scrolling comments had him spotted as trouble, as well.

He learned to be deceitful when he figured out that nothing would happen to him as long as he is a deceitful lefty.

I agree. Maybe give those very exposed spots to known people.

Maybe the Secret Service should monitor our live threads during Trump rallies to get clues.


Agree!!

PS blindness is real, man. We’re searching for a cure. But it takes time and money.

Oh dear. I didn’t see that part. But she did seem awfully fidgety, like something wasn’t quite right with her.

Rally officials need to put their thinking caps on when placing people right behind the President. Hopefully, the lesson has been learned.
