Or is it Sikhs don’t know how to dance with hookers?

And the viral part is doubtful…someone is trying too hard to do…something?

How about if Christians Dance with (without evidence) hookers in Public!

Who cares?

That the account you are promoting in the OP, Marc Randazza, is an attorney who is known for representing Nazis, white supremacists, and Alex Jones. These are not random happenstances. He actively seeks employment and status among these groups.

https://flatheadbeacon.com/2019/04/26/neo-nazi-website-founders-lawyers-backing-case/

"A neo-Nazi website operator’s attorneys intend to withdraw from representing him in a lawsuit over an anti-Semitic “troll storm” that terrorized a Montana real estate agent’s family.

One of those lawyers, Marc Randazza, told The Associated Press on Friday that his decision stems from his client’s refusal to comply with a court order requiring him to be present in the U.S. for a deposition."

Both Randazza and Barnes have become celebrity free-speech attorneys among conservatives for their work on behalf of InfoWars and other controversial right-wing clients. Randazza once pleaded guilty to ethical violations in a Nevada Bar investigation into whether he had cut a side-deal with another client’s legal foes.

In a statement, Randazza told The Daily Beast said that other, “utterly terrible” lawyers who have worked for InfoWars are trying to distract from their own mistakes.

On Dec. 18, 2017, Taylor’s Twitter account, as well as the account for American Renaissance and other white nationalists, was suspended. This was part of Twitter’s new rules banning accounts promoting hate speech and violence. In February 2018, Taylor filed a lawsuit against Twitter on First Amendment grounds. He is being represented by Marc Randazza, who has represented other neo-Nazis including Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer.

It may be preferable not to promote, on DU, persons who actively seek the employment of individuals and groups identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as merchants of hate.

Just my opinion, of course. You may give free publicity to whomever you choose.

I've never heard of him before now.

https://twitter.com/USConst_Amend_I 's retweeting seems to have been done solely to highlight the Constitutional implications of the posting of the video, rather than the politics of the attorney.

Sunlight being the best disinfectant, here's more about the guy:
