YTA, Thom Tillis - Man Goes Viral for “Innovative” Approach to Town Hall
AITA for thinking my senator, Thom Tillis (R-NC), just invented a new level of political gaslighting?
So, the guy holds a “tele-town hall” to avoid actual humans. Constituents are calling in, screaming about social security and student loans. Standard fare. But then, an elderly woman gets through and says, “Senator, I’m a lifelong Republican, but I voted for Biden because you voted to repeal the ACA and I need my insulin.”
Tillis’s response? Deadpan, over the phone: “Ma’am, I think you might be confused. I have a perfect voting record with the American Conservative Union. Perhaps you have me confused with the other Thom Tillis who also works in the Senate.”
I swear to God. He said this. He blamed a doppelgänger.
The audio leaked. People are now convinced he’s either running a bizarre simulation, has a secret twin, or is just trolling us at this point. One user commented, “TL;DR: Man discovers he’s not a real person, just a collection of votes.”
The kicker? His office later released a statement saying the “other Thom Tillis” was a “metaphor for the spirit of bipartisanship.”
I can’t. AITA for finding this hilarious or terrifying? I think the answer is both. 💀💀💀
