Conservatives Trend #HalperinQuestions on Twitter to Shame Mark Halperin’s Cuban Inquisition
Trigger warning: Stupid pendej0ry ahead.
Yesterday many conservatives were incensed at the idiotic race inquisition that news media hack Mark Halperin put Ted Cruz through in order to prove his Cuban bona fides. Today they took it nationwide by trending “Halperin Quotes” to mock and shame Halperin by composing other racist questions he might ask of other candidates.
Here are some of my favorites:
"Governor Jindal, you claim to be of Indian heritage. What would you say is your favorite flavor of Squishee?" #HalperinQuestions

"Is it true the Cuban National Anthem is 'Row,Row,Row Your Boat?" #Halperinquestions

#HalperinQuestions: Nancy Pelosi, do you listen to chupacabra songs? Can you speak in Chupacabra? Voters want to know about your ethnicity.

Who says conservatives aren’t funny? LOL!
Maybe Halperin got cultural sensitivity training to Hispanics from MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts, or the execrable Dana Milbank from the Washington Post. But you won’t see liberals object to this racism – they only freak out when it’s from conservatives.
