CNN Contributor Accuses Man of Anti-Semitism For Wearing Bacon Suit to Basketball Game
The man wears the bacon suit to basketball games because his name is Michael Bakan Like bacon.
"Look at the guy in the 'bacon suit,'" [Hilary] Rosen tweeted with a photo of the Georgetown student section. "This is a Georgetown #Hoyas fans anti-Semitic smear to the Syracuse team."
Rosen even doubled down on her tweet when the game ended with a Syracuse win, asserting that "bigots lose."
The student in the suit, junior Michael Bakan, told The Daily Caller he was shocked when friends started sending him screenshots of the tweet. He explained that the suit was a joke about his last name, which is pronounced "bacon."
"At first I thought it was a joke," Bakan said of Rosen's accusation. "The real way [my last name] is pronounced is bacon, and that was the impetus behind the costume. I’ve worn it to three games now."
They seem to get off sexually on the thought that someone somewhere is thinking about oppressing them.
