#SkittlesGate Continues with #SkittlesWelcome and a New Plot Twist

by Kim D.

Not even Brangelina can detract from the Skittles outrage. To keep alive the narrative that Trump is a racist, bigoted, xenophobic jerk, now #SkittlesWelcome is currently trending.

The outraged:

To all the people worried about being attacked by terrorists, we should probably ban cars first. https://t.co/7SMHxYvAcx #SkittlesWelcome

Dont feed into Trumps Nazi logic. Refugees are not the enemy, fear, ignorance, racism, hate, and intolerance are. #skittleswelcome #educate

Mr. Privilege took a brief break from killing endangered animals to attack people who have nothing. Disgraceful. #SkittlesWelcome

If you don't teach kids compassion & empathy, to be sensitive to others feelings, they grow up to become like this moron. #SkittlesWelcome https://t.co/OYod5Kkk3N

The realists:

Quit virtue signaling. If you're so tolerant why don't you open up your home to a refugee. You trust them don't you?#SkittlesWelcome

One of your Skittles just detonated a bomb in NYC and he hates America and gays.#SkittlesWelcome

Liberals wouldn’t admit that the Skittles poisoned them even if the Skittles left a video explaining why they did it. #SkittlesWelcome

Thus the Skittles debate continues even amid a plot twist - evidently the man who took the Skittles photo for the Trump ad is a refugee. Hmmmmm . . . . 

David Kittos, 48, from Guildford, UK, woke up to find an image he had posted to Flickr in January 2010 had become embroiled in a political controversy. "This was not done with my permission, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," Mr Kittos told the BBC.

"In 1974, when I was six-years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees." 

Mr Kittos is unsure whether he will take action over the use of his image by the Trump campaign. "I would like the Trump campaign to delete the image, but they are probably not interested in what I have to say," he said. "I was thinking about getting lawyers involved but I don't know if I have the patience. 

Cue up the lawyers . . . this could get interesting!
