Grumpy McGrump is Now Kicking His Own Youth Supporters Out of His Events

John McCain is preemptively kicking young people out of his events. Even the ones that support him:

“When I started talking to them, it kind of became clear that they were kind of just telling people to leave that they thought maybe would be disruptive, but based on what? Based on how they looked,” Elborno said. “It was pretty much all young people, the college demographic.”

Elborno said even McCain supporters were among those being asked to leave.

“I saw a couple that had been escorted out and they were confused as well, and the girl was crying, so I said ‘Why are you crying? and she said ‘I already voted for McCain, I’m a Republican, and they said we had to leave because we didn’t look right,’” Elborno said. “They were handpicking these people and they had nothing to go off of, besides the way the people looked.”

I think this is the ultimate "get off my lawn" moment. The Republican Party literally eating its young. I hope this is a widespread phenomenon.
