Crisis? Most folks think there’s a couple hundred. What’s the big deal?
Nothing to see here. Who cares if people are offended?
There is not much funny about this except this ...
He appeared to be doing his song and dance in a mocking way.
Especially that weird thing he did with his tongue at the end.
I have no idea how this was supposed to connect with Hispanic people and I doubt that Hispanics do either.
Stupidity and ignorance are contagious diseases, and is on full display here in multiple languages
Was he dancing, or mimicking milking a cow?
Typical woke buffoon.
My gosh, what a dufus!
But did his husband approve?
