The BLUE-CHECK MOB is very angry at Jesse Kelly for telling a joke about his kid's Lego robotics tournament

Twitchy favorite and conservative talk-radio host Jesse Kelly stirred up a whole lot of hate over this tweet where he joked about spending his Saturday at his son’s Lego robotics tournament:

I’m at a Lego robotics tournament for my oldest and you’ve never seen this many depressed fathers in one place. We’re all thinking, “Other kids play football…”

— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) January 19, 2019

An example of the outrage:

The kids competing in a LEGO robotics tournament are our future leaders and scientists. I’m going to guess you played football. https://t.co/voqNk6d9lX

Guys, HE WAS JOKING:

Doctor, what would you prescribe for someone who lacks a sense of humor? https://t.co/1D7fdArIAV

It’s pretty clear from the other tweets in his thread:

One team is named “The Shockers” and I have no idea how everyone thought that was a good idea.

They just announced the champion and this place is rocking like it’s the Super Bowl. I don’t belong here.

Hey Jesse … maybe you can give her some parenting tips?

Sooooo…meanwhile I’ve been trying to make my son realize how exciting THE SPELLING BEE is! (Also I confess I am jealous that @PreetBharara ‘s son is a Rubik’s Cube champ.)

I would be *over the moon* if my son was competing in Lego robotics tournament. ? https://t.co/5YlNvAPBek

The guy with “Rehire James Gunn” in his user name — you remember, the director who was fired for making jokes about child molestation — feels bad for Jesse’s kid:

"I'd rather my kid play a sport known for brain damaging participants than use his brain to do something smart and constructive because I need my son to validate my own insecurities about my masculinity". i mean, weird flex, but… https://t.co/8HFWJehtFy

This is so sad. Enthusiastically support your sons and all the healthy talents/passions they wish to pursue. Like 0.0001 percent of people make it to the NFL. Your son could be a kick ass engineer. https://t.co/BO6zvVXbW6

I hope his kid rereads this tweet right before deciding what home to put him in. https://t.co/p9zwP6ycCE

No. You’re the only one thinking that, you garbage person. https://t.co/HG0incqbYX

America's Most Embarrassing Veteran is now denigrating his own kid in front of everybody https://t.co/1xNnj5nyeP

A "conservative" father, writing for public consumption–to make his base giggle, to trigger the libs–how depressed he is that his son is not more "manly." Family values, circa 2019. https://t.co/u0boEdftnU

"Sure sucks my kid has a functioning cerebral cortex, wish he could turn into mashed potatoes via helmet-to-helmet wrecks down the middle." SMH, Kids pick up on this. Too bad this obviously gifted kid has to have a conservative cliche as a dad… https://t.co/IuRcvOvVru

The good news is Jesse’s kid made the next round, so we can all do this again:

They qualified for the next tournament. pic.twitter.com/hS4rcrfMvr

Maybe all these blue checks are just jealous that Jesse raised a Lego robotics competitor and they haven’t?
