🇺🇸👌⚡️- The Indiana GOP has fired an organizer of 10 years, Paul Joseph Tinkle, for making an "ok" hand gesture during a group photo.

Paul was previously an English teacher in Japan as part of a US Embassy program and use of the hand symbol was common.

The Indiana GOP did not allow Paul to defend himself in person instead deciding to fire him after a single phone call where he could only offer an explanation.

To this day the ADL still considers the gesture a "hate symbol" after a deliberate prank by internet racists to get it declared so.
