Tila Tequila brings D-list celebrity glamour to Alt-Right conference in DC this weekend

Tila Tequila is a bisexual former reality TV star of Vietnamese descent whose stage name incorporates the name of an alcoholic beverage made in Mexico. She’s also a Hitler-loving Alt-Right Trump fan who likes to joke about the Holocaust.

And so it’s perhaps less weird than it might seem at first glance that Tila spent the weekend at the annual National Policy Institute conference in Washington DC, a gathering of Alt-Rightists and fellow travelers, where she treated the attendees (and her Twitter followers) to Nazi salutes, anti-Semitic jokes, and an assortment of baffling pronouncements — ranging from an assertion that she’s an “alpha male” to a claim that she “willed Trump into [the] Presidency.”

Let’s take a look at some of Tila’s more, er, colorful Tweets from the convention.

It was a busy weekend for Tila, clearly, but she managed to find time for some anti-Semitic antics that she, at least, seems to have considered utterly hilarious.

She also posed with an assortment of Alt-Right personalities and fellow travelers, including “journalist” and beard-haver Chuck C. Johnson.

She lashed out at her critics:

And somehow managed to claim credit for Brexit and Trump’s electoral college win:

Apparently she’s taking lessons in reality-manipulation from Mike Cernovich and master persuader Scott Adams:

Given how this year has gone so far, I fully expect Donald Trump to name her to a cabinet position. Is there a Secretary of Delusional States?

Lobo Classic is Hilarious, and honestly the fights between a happy go lucky punk rocker and the caped crusader are a blast. It’s like seeing the boy your parents tell you to meet vs the one they never wish to see duking it out.

Apparently Tila Tequila has had her Twitter account revoked.

Good.

My apologies for making you uncomfortable, Viscaria.

@Victorious Parasol,

I just saw that earlier, too. Half of me thinks “good” and the other half thinks that this will be used by alt-righties as evidence of how transgressive or dangerous or martyred they all are.

Oh, probably. But it was still the right thing to do, and it’s not like Twitter has had a great record of that lately.

Nequam – I’ve loved Jill Sobule since I saw her open for Warren Zevon (RIP, Warren) in the 90’s in Ventura. What a show that was for someone* who loves quirky singer/songwriters!

*that is to say, me!!

@ mish & vicky p

Is declaring war by tweet against their terms and conditions? We might even see the official presidential account losing its blue triangle thing.

(I really hope Obama spends his last day in office using the official presidential email address to subscribe to every junk mail provider and scam artist going)

Ha! Good – I’d heard about Trump’s “suggestion,” and Mr. Parasol and I were snorting at the idea. Glad to hear our scorn is shared.

We have all of these great musicians denouncing Trump publically, with a song, or in concert.

And then you have the nazis with Tila Tequila, an uninfluential nobody who can’t sing her way out of a paper bag. They have Kanye West who is Kanye West, and Ted Nugent.

What shitty bards.

Our bards could kick thier bards asses.

Farage looking favourably on Trump’s suggestion for his future employment ? So he’ll chuck national sovereignty under the bus for personal gain despite basing his career on bleating about it. Surprise, surprise…

They’ve thrown a few bones to oppressed groups here and there, but you don’t see very many brown faces in leadership positions at the DNC. You never hear mainstream Dem politicians talk about reparations. You never hear them come out for unions. You never hear them come out for a serious crackdown on redlining. They never, in short, suggest anything that will actually significantly change anything for the better. The difference being that Republicans suggestions always, always, make things worse. And ‘the other side didn’t offer me more treats’ is a lousy fucking excuse to vote fascist.

Perhaps we need to badger the DNC with tons of notes and petitions telling them what we want until their heads explode.

One thing that’s making me feel a wee bit more hopeful is that the most extreme of the alt-rightists are already starting to turn on Trump now that he’s won the election. (Look at the comment section on this article, for instance).

After all, using alt-right logic, since the Jews run everything, Donald Trump must actually have been their preferred candidate all along, else he wouldn’t have been elected.

They’re definitely going to have a wake-up moment sooner or later. Take Steve Bannon for instance. He deliberately pandered to anti-Semites and the alt-right in order to channel their support into getting Trump elected. But he’s also gone on the record as being pro-Israel. He’s been using the exact same playbook as Netanyahu, who like Putin has a similar strategy of trying to curry favor with European ultranationalist groups (including antisemitic ones), based on a shared opposition to Muslims.

There was also that Wayne Allyn Root editorial describing Trump as the “first Jewish president” in the same sense that Bill Clinton was the first black president. Trump seems to be shaping up to be more like an American version of a Likudnik, than a Nazi. (But that doesn’t mean he’s a good guy).

Once the Nazis realize they’ve been played like a fiddle, boy are they going to feel stupid. (They might even turn on Andrew Anglin and the other vocally pro-Trump Nazi “leaders” as well). Hopefully they’ll slink back into the shadows from whence they came, with their tails between their legs.

I think the best strategy for dealing with the alt-right is exactly that. Tweet the Root piece at them. Link to it on their websites. Highlight the awards (some of them as early as 1983) he’s received from pro-Israel activist groups. Tie him to Netanyahu. Basically, do anything to make them give up on Trump. Concern trolling can be used against them as easily as they used it on Hillary supporters.

Without him (or their belief that he’s really on their side), they will have nothing left. That won’t make Trump himself go away. But at least he won’t be the preferred candidate of the Nazis anymore.

Thank you for that. We need all the hope and good news we can get.

I’m not interested in watching that, but this is in the “about” section:

“I AM THE REVELATION 12 WOMAN WHO IS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST (AND MOTHER TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD) AND ONE WHO BIRTHS OUT THE CHILD WHO IS SNATCHED “TAKEN OUT” INTO GOD’S PRESENCE SPOKEN OF IN THE BIBLE. ALL THE PROOF HAS BEEN POSTED ON MY PAGE. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE! In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.- Jeremiah 33:16 MY MINISTRY RELYS ON DONATIONS ONLY SINCE I DON’T ADVERTISE ON HERE. SO PLEASE SEND YOUR DONATIONS TO: $BrideofChrist23 ON Cashapp. GOD BLESS YOU!”

Note how this is not the only, or even the first, but the 23rd “Bride of Christ” on CashApp (which, in turn, is not the only, or even the largest, donation site; Paypal and Patreon are both much huger).

Kind of undermines any claim to be the actual, one-and-only, next messiah or whatever, hmm? 🙂

So, she’s a bride of Christ now?

I’ll admit, of all the possible futures I could foresee for Ms Tequila, nun was not one of them.

Not just a bride of Christ, the bride of Christ, or so she’s claiming. Someone prophesied in Revelation, no less.

Also, she doesn’t seem to dress much like a nun, if the one image in this thread is anything to go by.
