Founder of Straight Pride Parade Just Accidentally Told the Truth About What His Group Is Really All About, and People Can't Stop Mocking Him

Whoops!

Former Senate candidate Don Grundmann and his group, the National Straight Pride Coalition (NSPC), announced last month intentions to hold a straight pride rally in its home town of Modesto, California.

Despite the NSPC's website claiming to celebrate the "inherent superiority" of whiteness and heterosexuality, Grundmann insisted its members aren't racist.


Until he didn't.

At a recent city council hearing regarding the NSPC's rally permit, Grundmann accidentally told councilmembers that the NSPC was a "peaceful, racist group," eliciting heavy laughter from the crowd.

Watch below:

Grundmann was accusing Councilwoman Kristi Ah You, who hasn't kept her criticisms of the event secret, of pulling "the race card."

He continued:

"You pulled the race card to justify attacks against us in that park. When they come, you're going to turn right around and say we deserved it. We haven't done anything. We're a totally peaceful racist group."

Ah You, along with the rest of the observers, descended into raucous laughter and applause, leaving Grundmann unable to reclaim his point. The laughter continued on Twitter:

But not everyone was laughing.

Grundmann isn't the only straight pride advocate with skeletons in his not-closet. Another straight pride parade in Boston has also been linked to far-right and white supremacist groups.

Funny how that works.

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
