An 18-Year-Old Saw Her Mom, Aunt, And Uncle In DC In A Video — So She Named Them
Helena Duke, 18, thought it was odd when her mom shut off her location on a phone-tracking app that they share earlier this week. Her mom, Therese Duke, had told her vaguely that she was taking Helena’s aunt for a procedure. But Helena suspected that her Trump-supporting mom may have secretly traveled to Washington, DC, for the delusional last-ditch "Stop the Steal" rally.
On Thursday morning, Helena's cousin had sent her a viral video of a physical encounter on the streets of DC filmed Tuesday, the night before the Capitol was raided.
Watching the clip, Helena identified her mom, her aunt Annie Lorenz, and her uncle Richard Lorenz as part of a group of white people confronting a Black woman who had hit Therese in the face after she had tried to grab her.
Stunned to see her mom, Helena decided to tweet about the video and identified her family members as the people in it. "hi mom remember the time you told me I shouldn't go to BLM protests bc they could get violent...this you?" she wrote.

The fighter-pilot zip tie man (not the bartender man) was turned in by his ex-wife.

Are she and Kellyanne's daughter friends?
They should be BFFs.

Only the youth can save our country. A lot of the voters Stacy Abrams registered after November were young and some turned 18 years.

What will happen to poor Therese if she gets kicked out of the family home?
We should start up a collection for her until she can get a job and support herself.

She's already been kicked out several times for being a lesbian.

Sassy Therese should divorce herself from these awful people and stand on her own two feet.
She would be a hypocrite otherwise.

Is that a thing families do now? I think I'd attach my phone to a passing pigeon rather than have my parents spy on the places I was going to when I was 18.

Therese and her lover should escape and elope and make youtube videos and live off donations.

She's 18 years old. People get kicked out at age 18 all the time.
