Former Ted Cruz staffer and current “The Bulwark” contributor Amanda Carpenter is clutching her pearls over hats again. As Twitchy told you yesterday, she suggested that Conservatives wearing “1776” caps do so to put “America First” rather than for the love of U.S. history. No, we’re not making that up, and no, we don’t know why she has a problem with that either.
Then there was this gem:
Tossing out some hats ahead of his speech, where have I seen this move before. https://t.co/ejPtlzayiH

Hats??? At a campaign event??? Whatever will they think of next???
Whoever heard of handing out mementos at an event?

Totally unheard of. Unraveling the very threads of our democracy.

Shocking behavior, indeed!

Breathing air, just like Hitler.

We honestly thought this was where she was headed, too.
Turns out it’s actually this:
Such a classic Trump move. No wonder why his understudy picked it up as part of his stagecraft. pic.twitter.com/U1zGTG6tCQ

“His understudy”.
That seems to be the true gist of the problem. People on the left (and yes, a this point we count the entire staff of The Bulwark among them) are so invested in the idea that DeSantis is Trump 2.0 that they will grasp at any straw to make the comparison.

Hats can be pretty scary, especially when they’re being distributed by *checks notes* a politician at a political event that people voluntarily attend.
They’re just hats, Amanda. It really ain’t that deep. But hey, keep clutching those pearls.
