The 'BOOM!' guy with the little cannon is getting DRAGGED over Thanksgiving--Pilgrim hot take

Benjamin Wittes, probably best known on Twitter for his “BOOM!” tweets accompanied by a video of his tiny cannon shooting off a round whenever there’s a new development in the Russian investigation, has quite the hot take on what the Pilgrims would think of Donald Trump:

A frank confession: I’m not thankful this year and I’m not going to pretend to be. I’m defiant. If the Pilgrims had come all this way to find on our shores America’s current domestic politics, they would have vomited all the food at the first Thanksgiving dinner. #sorrynotsorry

Yeah, that didn’t go over well:

I too find strength in what white settler religious fanatics from 400 years ago hypothetically think of Trump. I am normal.

In your alternative history would they still have initiated a genocide against indigenous people and stolen their land? https://t.co/8tU1SGuOxa
