Poor thing was probably scared.
I'd be scared too seeing all those pedophiles and rapists and generally horrid people in one room.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They appear to have been using electric shocks to get the elephant to go where they wanted.
Elephants are stereotypes as being patient and wise. How the fuck did the Republicans end up with it as their mascot? Their mascot should be a freshly kicked hive of hornets.
Patient for sure. They are in this position partly because of their aptitude for playing the long game.
Wise...idk. There's definitely some incredibly intelligent people strategizing the party, but not in office. Those people may as well be paid actors.
Intelligent, at least, in understanding and exploiting social behaviors. You don't have to be ethical or moralistic to be smart. Chaotic Evil wisdom. Hitler was like this. Voldermort level. Terrible, yes....but great.
It's the party of con men, so of course they'd pick something that lies about their true nature in every possible way.
Paige exercizing her 1st amendment rights, freedom of speech and redress of grievances.
Give this elephant an award!
So close. Just turn 90⁰ to your left.
Literally turning a party convention into a circus? These writers suck.
Elect a clown, get a circus.
Be grateful if you have peanuts.
I find it funny the mascots of the parties. A Elephant if it could think of politics, I doubt Republicans would be who they'd vote for given a choice.
As well as the donkey. Even a jack ass can see only a dumbass would vote republicunt.
