Do what? I’m not acting like it’s the first time these people have seen snake handling, I’m telling you it’s the first time they’ve seen the secretary of health and human services, who they think is hilariously triggering the libs, doing such a fucking stupid thing. These idiots are impressionable when they see famous people in positions of power doing something on their phones and tvs. Don’t act like they aren’t and like previous knowledge or experience predicts future action for impressionable morons.
