Maybe you saw the clip  (if not, it’s below) floating around of a kid named Connor being interviewed in DC the night before the inauguration as protests went on outside the Deploraball. “Screw our president,” the kid said after claiming he’d set a small fire “because he felt like it.”

Turns out it wasn’t just any 11-year-old kid. It was Drew Carey’s son. “Sources” told TMZ that Connor got a talking to by his parents who said “Connor got caught up in the emotions of the crowd around him,” and talked about how to better express himself in the future.

Honestly, he expressed himself just fine.

  1. He is following in the footsteps of David Gilmour’s son – Charlie. Next up for Connor: challenging Don Trump to a marathon game of Plinko.

  3. And yet his father, Drew Carey, spent the following night hosting the American Legion “Salute to Heroes” Veterans’ Inaugural Ball with VP Mike Pence in attendance, at the DC Renaissance Hotel Downtown, just across the street from the two official Trump balls at the Convention Center. Pretty hypocritical for Drew’s son to be biting the hand that’s feeding/ paying his father to come to town in the first place.

  4. Take your malarkey back to the wingnuts and Neanderthals at the PeeDee website, getoverit…this is a progressive site with a progressive readership. Get over it, getoverit.

    You’re only here to troll and to pee in the pool, and everyone here knows it.

  5. So progressivism supports arson? I didn’t know that was part of your platform. And its not a “pool” here, its an echo chamber. And why you lost.

    Surprised you had time to attack me here Chuckles…I thought you were busy preparing the Dem’s Labor platform for 2020….btw, did you look him up? You did, didn’t you ;^)

  6. If you want a pissing contest over Puzzler, you will have to find yourself another contestant on which to aim your stream of yellow journalism. It would be a waste of time and keystrokes, and in the end, nobody wins…they just end up wet and smelly.

    Is that really how you want to get your kicks?

    So some punk kid (whose father’s a small-time has-been Hollywood celebrity) started a fire in a riot in D.C.–big fucking deal. Who cares…except idiots like you and the gossipmongers at bullshit-filled TMZ?

    There’s a lot more newsworthy stuff going on these days, and SCENE ought to know it, even if you don’t.

  7. Granted, it’s almost two years later, but I’m just now reading this for the first time.

    Drew Carey has no children, that was not his son.
