Tila Tequila (Nguyen) Neo-Nazi (!?!?!) has her Twitter Account Suspended!

.


I guess the standarards for being a Neo-Nazi are pretty low these days.

Twitter suspended former social media star Tila Tequila’s account Monday following a string of neo-Nazi tweets that drew increased attention over the weekend, when she attended a conference of “alt-right” white nationalists in Washington, D.C.

At the conference, the 35-year-old Vietnamese-American model posed for a photo in which she and two other individuals performed the Nazi salute. She shared it on Twitter, writing the caption, “Seig [sic] heil!”

On Monday, following the tweet, Maggiano’s Little Italy —the restaurant where the photo was reportedly taken — apologized on Facebook for hosting the conference, an event that “resulted in hateful sentiment.”




Much more after the jump.

(Correction: Neo-Nazi)

That was my first response.
My second? Despair that millions of people actually do know the answer to my question and do care about something so vapid and insipid in the first place.

This planet is fucked. Reality TV has taken over and is in charge now...brought to you by the makers of Viagra, Miller Lite and Geico...
