The LA riots are really bringing out a colorful cast of protestors eager to take their stand against Trump and his ICE minions. Speaking of “Minions,” one middle-aged Mexican mom was equipped with quite the loadout at a recent demonstration, and some compared her to the little yellow characters from Despicable Me, according to the Daily Mail. On top of her interesting cosplay, she also wielded a leaf blower, which she claims will blow the tear gas “back at those motherf—ers.” The excited protestor also had some choice words for President Donald Trump, as well.
YouTuber Nick Shirley interviewed the LA mom with the leaf blower, asking her what she would say to Donald Trump. She quickly responded, saying, “You’re just mad because Selma Hayek wouldn’t give you the time of day.” Needless to say, the internet loves this woman and her animated personality. “WHO IS THIS DIVA I LOVE HER,” remarked a TikTok user. “This energy is giving me life this morning 😭,” said another. “SHE’S SO REAL FOR THE SALMA HAYEK STATEMENT 💀,” laughed a third. “WHO IS THIS ABSOLUTE QUEEN?” asked a fourth.
Whether you think it’s stressful or entertaining, the LA riots and other massive protests across the country are making their way across the internet, with millions watching what’s happening. The Mexican is just one in hundreds, if not thousands, of demonstrators downright sick of the Trump administration and ICE pushing immigrants around like they have no rights. It was only a matter of time before the populace started to get upset and push back against the inhumane and absurd decisions made at the White House.
One thing is for sure, though, as one TikTok commenter puts it: “We’re living in a South Park episode.” And whether you’re laughing at the Minion mom with her leaf blower or cheering her on, hopefully, some good will come about these protests and compel DC to make an actual positive change for society.
