Unless you’ve been living under a rock that also lives under a rock, you’re likely aware that deeply embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking, and is being held without bond in New York. Well, apparently, the news has spread so far and wide that it has even gotten the attention of the MAGA world who tried and failed at launching a guilty-by-association attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he tried slander by posting a photo of her posing with the Diddy — only the Black man she was pictured with was not Diddy. He was Montel Williams. X user and apparent Trumpster Josh Dunlap shared a video of Harris and Williams, who dated more than 20 years ago, attending a charity event for Multiple Sclerosis along with Williams’ daughter, according to Raw Story. Williams was diagnosed with MS in 1999.

Apparently, Dunlap is so affected by white people’s tendency to think all Black people look alike that he mistook Williams for Diddy despite the two not even looking like they could be related, let alone the same person. Williams responded to the MAGA minion’s error, tweeting, “Hi Josh – not all black people look alike. Do better.”

Williams was actually a lot kinder in his response than others who saw Dunlap’s post, which backfired on the self-described “ultra-MAGA” influencer in more ways than one. Not only was Dunlap, who has a reported 242,700 followers on X, loud and wrong about which Black man Harris was with in the video he shared, but he gave people an opportunity to point out numerous photos floating around the interwebs that show Diddy hobnobbing with — you guessed it — Donald and Melania Trump. Dunlap appears to have since deleted his embarrassing post, but not before the fine folks on X saw it and proceeded to drag him up and down the platform. Check out some of the responses below.
