Former Trump Official Baffles the Internet With Bizarre New Term for Trump Supporters

Former Trump Official Baffles the Internet With Bizarre New Term for Trump Supporters

Former President Donald Trump's ascent to the White House brought with it a widespread public embrace of deranged conspiracy theories like QAnon, which hinges on the belief that Trump was sent by God to expose a covert network of satanic cannibal pedophiles secretly controlling the United States government.

One QAnon defector who went viral for trashing a display of masks at Target, said she was "sucked in" to the conspiracy theory, and compared the militant belief in it to "hitting rock bottom for alcohol or drugs."


QAnon is but one conspiracy theory subscribed to by a vast portion of Trump supporters. Other theories include belief in the lie that the 2020 election was "stolen," that vaccines against the virus that's killed over 600 thousand Americans are a secret exercise in government control, and that the Capitol Riots were carried out by antifa.

The undying loyalty to Trump has baffled and infuriated his critics, with many wondering what could possibly shake them from their image of the former President as some messianic figure.

That's why a bizarre Tuesday tweet from Trump's former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, raised eyebrows as he encouraged Trump's supporters to call themselves "pipehitters."

Pompeo issued the call as part of the rollout for his Champion American Values PAC, and claimed that "pipehitters" were those "dedicated to stand against the radical Left's agenda."

In a video, he says:

"I need each of you to be a pipehitter. Get stuff done. Keep grinding."

"Hitting the pipe" is often used to refer to drug use, though it also can also be a crass colloquialism used to dismiss constant peddlers of delusions and conspiracy theories.

It's that last definition that resulted in widespread mockery of Pompeo's tweet.







People speculated as to how on earth the PAC decided on the term.



It doesn't look like they have any intention to backtrack on the name.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
