Title: Looks Like Alton Brown Will be Off the Air Soon
Post by: Ben on November 10, 2020, 11:41:08 AM

Alton Brown just came out as Republican. Even though he also came out as a never Trumper, it appears the karens are running him out of town.

It's actually a great example of how much bullshit this "unity" crap is. Even if you don't like Trump, if you vote R, you must be destroyed.

I’ve seen several posts from the left about how a list needs to be made of Trump supporters so they can be “dealt with”

Yeah sounds like a real desire for unity.

Wait, so you were ok with all of the anti-science, bigotry, homophobia, racism and its ilk all up until NOW? Like the entire platform.

I am super surprised about you supporting a party who has been deeply rooted in anti-science platforms and their will to erode it.

No, he said he voted Republican, not Democrat.

The tolerant and loving left displays their unity once again.

Alton Brown just came out as Republican.

That was known years ago if one was paying attention.  Brown had a few posts on facebash/instapot/twaddle showing him shooting his SCAR17 at a match and making pro-gun comments at the time.  That doesn't guarantee he is republican, but it sure looked that way.

Brown is an entertainer, though, so he made sure to downplay or hide his conservative feelings so he could keep his showbiz life going.

I met Alton Brown at one of his book signings years ago. Really nice guy. Gave a great address to a rather huge crowd and, from what I heard, stayed WAY into the early morning hours to ensure that everyone who got a ticket for an autograph got his autograph.

Mtnbkr's wife got us tickets in the 40s... I saw another of my friends there that evening who had a ticket near 500.

He laughed when I told him I had just put the finishing touches on 20 pounds of home cured and smoked bacon that I made using his instructions.

Well, it is. From a certain point of view.
