Nick Pringle knew that posing as a male escort at the RNC would be a dangerous assignment.
But it appears that the promiscuous project has brought on even more backlash than the popular left-leaning influencer could’ve imagined.
In a video posted Tuesday, Pringle, who uses his platform to rail against Republicans and their attacks on LGBTQ+ people, says he’s received a swarm of death threats since his apparent undercover operation.
“It was genuinely scary,” he said. “These are people who have and will kill to keep this secret.”

Despite the vitriol, Pringle says he will reveal the names of Republicans who solicited his services at “Tr*mp-a-Palooza” this month in Dallas… in Part 2.
“This has been a delicate situation,” he said. “But don’t worry. I will be naming names in this video.”
Noble cause, questionable approach
Pringle is an ardent LGBTQ+ ally. In a recent video, he laid out why the administration’s attacks on trans people are everybody’s business.
“When they start taking rights, they don’t stop until they get to you,” he said.
As for those who claim they’ll never be targeted because they aren’t doing anything “wrong,” Pringle had some news for them.
“They’re gonna change what illegal means so it fits what you’re already doing,” he added.
When Pringle announced his intention to expose Republicans at the RNC, he explained his rational: he wanted to out them as hypocrites.
“[I want] to expose Republicans and religious lawmakers for the hypocrites that they are: championing and writing legislation that actively make the lives harder for the LGBTQ+ community while engaging in homosexual activities,” he said.
He said he expected to receive threats. “If this is the last message you hear from me, I’m either dead or I’ve been sufficiently threatened,” he explained.
While we appreciate Pringle’s MO, his cheeky insinuations make us think his stunt may have just been exactly that.

Oops! Grindr goes down during the RNC after surprise thirst trap
Things are getting weird
What happened with Grindr at the RNC?
Unsurprisingly, another large gathering of Republicans produced reported widespread Grindr outages. While Grindr denies the charge, it is funny to think about. And if there were any horny hunters in Dallas, GOP officials provided them with some Grade A material: a thirst trap of leftist streamer Hasan Piker.
Over the ensuing days, MAGA’s crush on Piker reached peak levels of insanity. Their candidates and media lackeys couldn’t stop harping on him.
As far as Pringle, he says he used Grindr at “Tr*mp-a-Palooza.” He found it to be a digital meat market that he wasn’t expecting (do your homework dude)!
“Grindr, I was expecting it to be like Tinder,” he said. “It was not.”
Did Pringle really pose as an escort?
It’s unclear. While we never want to accuse an ally of lying… he hasn’t offered any proof.
Yet.
Pringle went dark in the days after the RNC, reemerging on September 14 to give his followers a proof of life. “I’ve had to go radio silent over the last few days, because as you can imagine, I’ve been fielding a considerable amount of death threats,” he said.
He goes on to share screenshots of the IG accounts sending him threats.
In his most recent video, Pringle again talks about the death threats, saying they raise his suspicion about closeted Republicans even more. “Doth death threat too much,” he said.
But after another video in which Pringle doesn’t name names, we’re beginning to think whether “doth tease too much.”
He lays the groundwork for an underwhelming conclusion.
“It was really hard to tell who was there for the RNC and who is some random gay dude who happened to live in Dallas,” he said.
You know what they say: a headless torso is a headless torso, bro!
