Prior to Richard Spencer getting clocked in the face, the greatest viral moment to arise from the post-inauguration protests in Washington D.C. was footage of a young boy admitting to starting a bonfire outside of noted “alt-right”/white nationalist hell-shindig The DeploraBall on Thursday night.
“My name’s Connor and I actually kinda started this fire,” said the rosy-cheeked boy, smirking like a saintly Dennis the Menace. When questioned about his rationale by a Fox News reporter, Connor was not guilted: “I felt like it and because I’m just, uh, saying screw our president!” he exclaimed.
Today, a report by TMZ recasts Connor’s tale in a new and even more hilarious light: This fledgling, striped-shirted hero is no random boy, but instead the son of ’90s primetime icon and Whose Line Is It Anyway?/The Price is Right host de jour Drew Carey. Look, here they are together:
That’s definitely Connor, and that’s definitely a nu-Carey soul patch.
Naturally, MAGA3X, the ghoulish Trump support group that hosted the event, and related legions of trolls are trying to bully the Carey family about the incident:
