'Am I the only one laughing at Trump supporters' boats sinking?'
Multiple boats sank on Saturday during a boat parade showing support for President Donald Trump in Texas. Leftists seized on the opportunity to mock Trump supporters and their misfortunes.
Austin authorities reported that "multiple" vessels sank on Saturday after hundreds of boaters gathered on Lake Travis in support of Trump's re-election. Authorities responded to numerous distress calls, KEYE-TV reported.
However, the exact number of boats that sank or people who needed rescuing was not clear because others boaters helped provide assistance before first responders could get to those in distress.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the chaos.
What caused so many boats to experience danger also was not exactly clear. The New York Times reported:
With winds around 10 miles an hour, and gusting to as much as 15 m.p.h., the weather conditions in and around the lake most likely would not have caused the boats to sink, Aaron Treadway, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Austin/San Antonio office, said.
Meanwhile, the Travis County Sheriff's Department attributed the problem to the number of boats on the lake triggering such a large wake, CBS News reported.
They pounced on Trump supporters, mocking the dangerous situation as "Dumbkirk," a reference to the notorious rescue of French and British soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940.
