What appeared to be an emotional meltdown at a recent Texas city council meeting left viewers with multiple reactions.
A video clip posted allegedly from a meeting in Denton, a city within the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, appeared to show a man having a very emotional reaction as he shared public comments about transgender rights.
Political columnist Benny Johnson tweeted that it was “the funniest thing on the internet today,” sharing the clip from Cassady Campbell whose Twitter bio describes him as an actor and comedian.

Campbell, a YouTuber with over 1.5 million subscribers, provided the full video which included a musical number from a guitar-carrying man that followed the meltdown segment.

The part about all of this was the end the chairman keeping a straight face saying we need to take a break and wipe all of that down.

But the clip sparked a debate online about whether it was real or a prank.
Is this a bit or did this legitimately happen?

How do you know? Do you know the guy? Where you in on it? I agree looks way over the top but do you think ‘no one’ would ever act like that in a public forum? Will ‘everyone’ that acts like have to be ‘pranking’?

Indeed they are. But I don’t think this guy is actually a liberal.

I’m sort of alarmed that so many people in the comments don’t seem to realize that this was a joke.

Many Twitter users reiterated that, in fact, the “liberal” was a master troller.
this has to be an actor… and a very good one!

Who are the people that believe that this is legit? Id like to have a word with you.
I DO wanna know who this guy is tho… I imagine he’s some right wing comedian or something. This shit is hilarious 😂

The fact that we live in a world where I had to pause to wonder whether this might not be sarcasm is terrifying.
