'''Brandon Tatum''' {{lived|1987}} is a former [[police]] officer turned hat salesman. While protecting and serving the community is something that Brandon has always been very passionate about, delivering unhinged rants from his car and confirming the vile opinions of his fans appears to be a much more lucrative career than merely walking the beat.

==Career==
Tatum assumed the role of Director of Urban Engagement for [[Turning Point USA]] in early 2018. With the help of his co-workers and fellow [[token]]s, [[Candace Owens]] and Rob Smith, he embarked on a mission to spread the gospel of [[conservatism]] and police apologia. However, by early 2019, it had appeared that Brandon was no longer employed by Turning Point USA. Brandon currently has his own [[radio]] show that's based out of Phoenix, [[Arizona]]. Tatum is also a co-founder of BLEXIT, a campaign founded by his partner in crime, Candace Owens, that seeks to get more [[African-Americans]] to vote for [[Republicans]].

==Political positions==
Tatum is a run-of-the-mill [[wingnut]] whose political positions are almost identical to those of just about any person that you would find in the comments section of a "Blue Haired [[SJW]] get [[Ben Shapiro|DESTROYED]] with FACTS and LOGIC!!" video on [[YouTube]].

==Brandon's Greatest Hits==
*He thinks that Trump supporters face the same kinds of oppression and discrimination that gay people do. Ironic coming from a man who constantly complains about victimhood culture.<ref name=victimhood />
*He thinks celebrities shouldn't talk about politics unless they're conservatives.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-thinks-celebrities-shut-his-side-doublethink-logical-fallacy-784</ref>
*He says that [[racism]] doesn't exist anymore, but the [[Democratic Party]] is the most [[evil]] and racist party in [[America]].<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-mind-racism-doublethink-logical-fallacy-760</ref>
*He claims that [[Gun control|laws banning guns]] won't curb behavior but also says that [[Alabama]]'s [[abortion]] ban saved millions of unborn babies.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-laws-curb-behavior-doublethink-logical-fallacy-742</ref>
*He claims to not divide people and that everyone should be loved the same yet insists that there's a crucial difference between legal and [[undocumented immigrant]]s.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-people-divided-doublethink-logical-fallacy-736</ref>
*He claims that the Democratic Party [[Demonization|demonizes]] white people but also claims that it is the party of the [[KKK]]. According to him, Democrats hate white people but also think that they're superior. Weird, isn't it?<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-democratic-party-hates-white-people-doublethink-logical-fallacy-716</ref>
*He claims that [[taxation]] is theft but blames people that he doesn't like for not being victims of that same kind of "theft."<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-taxation-theft-doublethink-logical-fallacy-701</ref>
*He claims that Donald Trump can't possibly be a racist because a lot of people voted for him.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-close-self-awareness-doublethink-logical-fallacy-696</ref>
*He can't decide if one should be able to criticize America without having to move somewhere else.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-supports-amendment-doublethink-logical-fallacy-670</ref>
*He's still not sure if [[toxic masculinity]] exists.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-toxic-masculinity-exists-doublethink-logical-fallacy-664</ref>
*Brandon, being the free speech warrior that he is, claimed that Kathy Griffin should have been jailed for joking about beheading Trump.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-supports-free-speech-doublethink-logical-fallacy-659</ref><ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-supports-amendment-doublethink-logical-fallacy-658</ref>
*When Harvard rescinded its admission to Kyle Kashuv for using the word "[[nigger]]" back in 2017, Brandon was more than happy to accept an apology. But, when Democratic governor of [[Virginia]], Ralph Northam was caught wearing [[blackface]] in the 1980s, Brandon claimed that an apology wasn't enough. If Northam was a Trump sycophant, his apology would have been accepted.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-apologies-doublethink-logical-fallacy-600</ref><ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-ppl-offended-racial-jokes-doublethink-logical-fallacy-599</ref>
*He's still not sure if [[virtue signalling]] works.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-virtue-signaling-wrong-doublethink-logical-fallacy-635</ref> 
*He claims to fully embrace the [[Second Amendment]] but claims that having a firearm is enough of a reason to be shot by the police.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-decide-amendment-be-embraced-doublethink-logical-fallacy-594</ref>
*He claims to support prison reform despite also claiming that innocent people ({{wpl|Central Park jogger case|Central Park Five}}) should be in prison.<ref>https://blather.io/fallacies/brandon-tatum-mind-prison-reform-doublethink-logical-fallacy-555</ref>
*He argues that the concept of white privilege both contributes in making black people more privileged and also hurting them. He also claims that black people are favored in job opportunities and university positions with an amount of evidence equal to the amount of fucks left in my closet.<ref>https://www.prageru.com/video/how-to-end-white-privilege/</ref>

==Stopped clock==
*He claims that white moderates or liberals who like to apologize for their [[whiteness]] doesn't actually help the cause, and in fact harms it. This specific detail isn't completely wrong, given that we all have that friend that likes to virtue-signal about how woke they are without actually lifting a finger to solve structural or institutional problems, BRENDA.<ref>https://www.prageru.com/video/how-to-end-white-privilege/</ref>
*Responding to a video [[Ben Shapiro]] made supporting President [[Donald Trump]] potentially pardoning former police officer [[Derek Chauvin]], Tatum stated that it was a bad idea and rejected the idea that [[George Floyd]], who was killed by Chauvin, died due to a drug overdose.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG51gCHOzHg/?igsh=MThrYTFjeTN2cmlveA==</ref>
