That Little Kid Setting Fires And Yelling "Screw Our President" During The Trump Protests? Turns Out It Was Drew Carey's Son.

Vulture – During last week’s inauguration protests, a young, anonymous redhead rose to viral fame after starting a small fire. “I actually kinda started this fire,” the then-unknown kid — all we knew was his name was Connor — told Fox News. “Because I felt like it, and I’m just saying … screw our president!”

But Connor’s viral stardom may have been less accidental than genetically preordained. Turns out Connor is none other than Drew Carey’s 11-year-old son, TMZ reports. Carey and Connor’s mother, Nicole Jaracz, were reportedly quite upset with Connor’s interview. A source also told TMZ the boy “regretted his choice of words” after speaking with his parents.

…

Remember Carter the 10 Year Old Alpha Male Trump Protestor?

Well, two things.

One, turns out his name is Connor. Not Carter. Now that I listen to it with Connor in my head I can hear Connor but I (and the internet) was definitely 100% sure his name was Carter the first time around. Pronounce your name better idiot. Oh and he’s 11 not 10.

Two, turns out it’s Drew Carey’s son.

So when I said “Imagine being so good at parenting that you bring your kid out onto the street in the middle of a school night and let him set fires and destroy property? Hope I can be half as good a dad someday,” turns out I was talking about Drew Carey. Go figure. I shouldn’t be too hard on him though, he did have a talk with him “about his language.” Nothing about the destroying public property and setting things on fire I guess, but definitely a stern rebuke about saying “screw.”

What a turn of events. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, you never know what the internet is going to bring on a day to day basis.

TFW the whole world knows your kid is an arsonist but at least he went viral:
