Heard about the “black people aren’t monkeys sign”. Who was the girl that Trump said her teachers were trying to turn her trans and when Trump had her family stand up she clapped with her two fingers. She wasn't taken away, she willingly ran away from home to escape them because they denied her care and probably worse.

And, that's a private family matter. I'm sure the girl would have preferred to maintain her privacy like most teenagers but her parents obviously liked basking in the MAGA glow.

Her father gave her a dirty look. It was obviously all staged. She should have yelled out "what are you going to do? Beat me like you do at home?". Her parents wanted her to lie. So even if her lie wasn't true, neither was their BS for Trump.

And there was a guy standing next to her father who was also scowling at her. Was that their lying pastor?
