Playboy’s White House correspondent had quite the encounter on the Metro Thursday and he thought Twitter ought to know about it.
Met a young Hispanic boy while riding Metro. Saw my press credentials and asked me "why does the President hate me?" @realDonaldTrump

OMG. What did you say to him?

What does one say when a young Hispanic boy riding the Metro notices your press credentials and asks you why the president hates you?

Heartbreaking. What did you say to him, Brian?

I had nuthin. His mother looked sad.
— Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) August 24, 2017
Was she sad because the president hates her too, or was she sad knowing her son, being so woke at such a young age, will never be able to find true contentment in a country lacking social, racial, economic, and environmental justice … to name just a few of the justices in short supply in Trump’s America?
Hmm. Bullshitometer needle is pegged.

It’s something a lot of us don’t like to think about, but Karem’s anecdote inspired others to relate similar experiences they’ve had.

I am a young Hispanic boy. While riding the Metro, a weird creep sat down next to me and asked "do you want to see my press credentials?"

It was only a matter of time before these anecdotes about imaginary woke 8-year olds started drifting into pedo fantasies

I met the same kid, and he said Brian Karem had slapped him. I have the same evidence he does.

The best part about not using public transportation is avoiding all the woke little kids wanting to talk politics.
— jon gabriel (@exjon) August 24, 2017
They're always reading your press credentials, too. Like, leave me alone, man. I'm just a celebrity like everyone else.
