The World Clown Association is bringing together all types of clowns for its 40th annual convention.

Michelle Bruzzese for NPR

Members of the WCA hail from 35 different countries and their one purpose is simple, to"bring happiness, joy, fun and comic relief to children of all ages." Robin Bryan"Pinkie Bee" holds up her medal. On the right, name tags with clown names were on display.Robin Bryan, who goes by Pinkie Bee, is president of the WCA. She's a white-faced clown, who traditionally played the"straight man" in gags and routines.

Patsy Garland who goes by Patty Cake is also a white-faced clown. She wears a full face of white makeup, with a bright wig and flower hat on top.

Damn it... i need a go fund me. I promise to be funny.

Had no idea the RNC moved up the Convention date this far

Y'all need to stop comparing the clowns to politicians. It's really mean. The clowns just want to bring joy, they don't deserve this treatment.

At least parking will be easy.

They should be pitching their tent at the fed courthouse in NY tomorrow, no...?

its_erin your people are in town

Majority of the attendees will be swifties iktr

You all need to think for yourselves. Take a step back and take a good look at where this state is and has become within 2 years. You really do not want the government controlling your lives. You really don't

I didn’t know Meadbymead and TheBiancaDelRio were in Orlando this week!

Ok

Didn’t they just have a preview of it in Waco?

tedcruz DanCrenshawTX chiproytx and all the other failed Texas republican legislators are meant for this. But tbh this would be insulting to the other clowns.

We sent Steve Inskeep to tell us CIA-approved narratives about the clowns

So it’s a just a bunch of mainstream media members?

DerekMerrin you should headline!

ryanlongcomedy no laughing matter

I'm hoping there are representatives from both the Democratic and Republican party there

This year it'll be headlined by a special member, Elon Musk

So what you're saying is Congress is moving to Orlando?

Will Donald Trump be a featured speaker?

chump the brain-dead comic carnival barker aka klueless the klown will be keynote speaker.

yo barr08 ZawDawg PjMarshalka justinporterste iamtherog you guys already get your invitations?

Sounds like a Democratic fund raiser

Will Trump, McCarthy, Greene, Santos and Boebert be attending or officiating?

How is this news?

Sorry NPR the world clown association already met this year, in National Harbor, Maryland, on March 1-4.

Funny that this is the tweet that precedes this on my feed, initially thought it was part of the NPR Clown tweet!!!

The best part is that the entire convention only needed one parking space.

Uneasy_Peasy

Will Trump be there!?

All clowns are welcome to watch football with us tomorrow at CWStadium shoot me a note for group deals and on field experiences!

I didn't realize Congress, the Senate, and the WH were only around for 40 years

bertkreischer heads up

Is DeSantis there too?

First Covid and now this? The world is becoming a scary place.

I knew Pelosi would show up sooner or later!

Of course it’s in Florida.

realDonaldTrump time to rise up!

That is some low hanging fruit ya got there… to easy, but tempting.

Is Trump invited?🤣

Too easy

Everyday on Twitter is a clown convention! 🤡

Heard Homie D.Clown will be there as well as Pennywise the dancing clown.

Please call things by their right name. In this case, that would be the Democrat National Committee.

Just an extension of the GOP Policy Summit held there, I presume.

Wow, the Republican national convention is early this year!

We just call them liberal arts and humanities majors.

I thought CPAC was a few weeks ago.

So that's what the 'C' in CPAC stands for.🤔

your corporate reunion?

So, how many politicians are going?

You mean GOP GOPoversight HomelandGOP JudiciaryGOP Jim_Jordan RepMTG RepJamesComer
