A participant in a town hall Wednesday night became a social media meme as his head bobbed in doubt when former President Donald Trump tried to downplay and explain away the Jan. 6 riot as a "day of love."
At the town hall on Univision Noticias, Ramiro González, a Tampa, Florida, construction worker, said he wanted to give the MAGA leader a chance to "win back" his vote.
"Your action and say, maybe, inaction, during your presidency and last few years ... was a little disturbing to me. What happened during January 6 and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol? Coronavirus — I thought the public was misled during the coronavirus. And I feel many more lives could've been saved if we had been informed better."....
As Trump started to acknowledge a "tiny" percentage of the protesters rioted, he pivoted and called it a "day of love."
That was a bridge too far for González, whose head cocked from one side to the other, visibly skeptical of Trump's explanation.
His reaction quickly became a meme on the internet, with social media users seizing on the clip.
Democratic consultant Holly Figueroa O'Reilly wrote on X: "THE HEAD BOB," adding three cry-laughing emojis.
"His brain is mush," former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) wrote on X.
"Look at that piece of s--- grab his ear like he can’t hear what the guy is saying," jabbed Adam Parkhomenko.
