Donald Trump may be asking the FBI for protection against Joaquin Guzman Loera, the notorious Mexican drug lord known as el Chapo, who recently escaped from prison, again. But The Donald has already been attacked by a more formidable adversary who also hails from The Mexico. And his weapon of choice? Not bullets, not machetes, not gruesome torture...... Butt plugs!
Meet Fernando Sosa, the 32-year old 3D artist based in Orlando, Florida, who was born and raised in Puebla Mexico. Sosa, who came to the United States when he was 11, was enraged when he heard Donald Trump spew his racist vitriol about Mexican rapists. So he decided he would turn his anger into a product... a butt plug, made of "fully colored material with a coarse finish and a delicate feel," more specifically, as his website explains. In case you don't know, a butt plug is a sex toy that does exactly what it sounds like it does.
In an interview with me on this week's The Katie Halper Show, Sosa explained that he was initially incredulous that Trump had said what he had about Mexicans. In case you missed it, the Donald peppered his presidential announcement speech with the following:
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.
I asked Sosa if he was concerned that his work would perpetuate "the stereotype of the political protest butt plug creating mexican?" He admitted he was aware of the impression that college-educated, business-owning, Mexican-born, butt plug 3D printing artists were ruining America. But what are you gonna do?
Listen to my full interview with Sosa on butt plugs and politics, as well as my discussion of social media fails with political comedian Justin Williams, Iran with Ali Gharib and Scott Walker with Meredith Clark!
