Who was the guy (or gal, couldn't tell) in the purple fluffy hat standing behind Kevin Downing who was holding a sign and who turned it when the protester turned his sign around? Was he there to try to deflect attention from the protester's sign? Have you seen this before? Is this some kind of Republican tactic like having a person of color behind Trump's right shoulder at his rallies?
Kevin Downing, like Paul Manafort, is a product of the Catholic elite school system. You have to wonder, especially after the Kavanaugh hearings, how the people in charge of those could get away without addressing the amoral scum they turn out onto the world. As Charles Pierce noted, after the scummy behavior of Kavanaugh and his possee came out, this isn't the blue-collar Catholic schools that normal people who aren't rich know about.
Update:
I have said it before but will say it again: The Catholic Church in this country was in danger of becoming an upper-class club for people with conservative politics and conservative sexual ethics. The influx of Latino immigrants has combined with the leadership of Francis to make that danger far more remote.
