You’ve Heard of the Crying Lib — Meet Wailing MAGA Guy
Many on the right have mocked the left for years for being sensitive, emotional snowflakes, often pointing to a particularly memorable 2016 photo of a woman wailing over the election of former President Donald Trump.

Now, they might want to check in with some fans of the newly-minted convicted felon.

NBC News covered the guilty verdict handed down to Trump as all 34 counts were read on Thursday. Outside the Manhattan courthouse where the hush money trial took place, both supporters and non-supporters gathered in their designated area to either celebrate, mourn, scream, laugh, whatever array of emotions they may have felt moved to express.
And one gentleman carrying a sign that said “FREE FATHER TERESA” and wearing a shirt that said “FREEDON!!” was having many, many feelings in full view of cameras. And they were LOUD.
Minutes after NBC’s Laura Jarrett read through all 34 guilty verdicts, a side-by-side shot of the crowd revealed Wailing MAGA Guy, viscerally reacting to the news that Donald Trump just became America’s first former president-slash-convicted felon. It’s like a different brand of “America First” — now featuring jury-rendered criminality!

Anyway, Wailing MAGA Guy wailed and wailed, trying to comfort himself with his oak tag sign, bellowing towards the heavens in an attempt to exorcise the demons of injustice from this God-forsaken city that built Trump and then, in some eyes, betrayed him because he paid off a porn star who threatened to tell everyone about their sex affair and screw up his whole great plan to become president, which he did anyway, and then he spent four years in the Oval Office sending tweets and trying to alter the weather and wish away a global pandemic before he tried to overthrow the government he was elected to represent.
But do not weep for poor Wailing MAGA Guy. There’s a whole right-wing echo chamber where none of this ever happened. He will find his safe space there.
UPDATE: We found his safe space! It’s an alternate reality, which often arises when someone is an actor playing a fictional character! This is the case of Trump superfan Jake Byrd, sent from ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live to provide the best possible non-serious coverage of the verdict.
As for falling for a Jimmy Kimmel plant, Mediaite regrets the error but thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment.
