I Didn't Say It ...

Milo Yiannopoulos, the self-loathing openly gay man-child, has encouraged Australians to vote ‘No’ to equal marriage:

“My gut would be to vote against it. I’m gay and a Catholic. The highest priority for me is making sure no church, no believer anywhere, is required to violate their religious conscience. I think those things can co-exist perfectly peacefully. I think the state probably should recognize a gay couple who want to commit to one another. But the paramount consideration is not those gay couples – it is religious freedom.”

I can see his point, if he’s that concerned about religion, which I doubt, but ... Yiannopoulos made these statements just three weeks after marrying his partner, John.

So, you know, fuck off, Milo, you’re a little hypocritical man seeking attention.

How sad.

John McCain, not so subtly bashing _____ for being a draft-dodger:

“One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest-income level of America, and the highest-income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”

As you may know, _____deferred the draft five times, four while he was in school and the fifth for bone spurs.

You know, his feet hurt.

Elton John, blasting Georgia GOP Congresswoman Betty Price, after she suggested people with HIV be quarantined:

“Price’s comments about people living with HIV are horrific, discriminatory, and astonishingly ill-informed. As a doctor and elected official from a state where people are still contracting HIV at an alarming rate, Mrs. Price should know better than to demonize people and perpetuate myths that stigmatize people living with HIV. Her words smack of a dark time when there was little or no information about HIV and people were afraid of each other. Today, thanks to scientific advancements, growing acceptance and love, people living with HIV are living longer, healthier lives. We also know people living with HIV pose no public threat.”

The only public threat I see is electing ignorant people like Betty Price to any public office.

Myeshia Johnson, widow of La David Johnson, one of four soldiers killed in Niger, criticizing _____ how he spoke to her during a condolence:

“He couldn’t remember my husband’s name. The only way he remembered my husband’s name is because he had my husband’s report in front of him and that’s when he actually said ‘La David.’ I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband’s name. And that’s what hurt me the most. If my husband is out here fighting for our country, and he risked his life for our country, why can’t you remember his name?”

Simply put, _____ doesn’t care because he knows nothing of service to his country.

Newt Gingrich, suggesting that _____ have a boxing match with Representative Maxine Waters:

“First of all, let me just say — you’d never get it to happen, but the idea of a round between her and Donald Trump is pretty interesting.”

Seriously? Politicians have differences and you go right to boxing match?

Go away, Newt, don’t you have a wife to cheat on?

Jeff Flake, continuing his attacks on _____ after the so-called president blasted him on Twitter:

“How many more disgraceful public feuds with Gold Star families can we witness in silence before we ourselves are disgraced? How many more times will we see moral ambiguity in the face of shocking bigotry and shrug it off? How many more childish insults do we need to see hurled at a hostile foreign power before we acknowledge the senseless danger of it? How much more damage to our democracy and to the institutions of American liberty do we need to witness in silence before we count ourselves as complicit in that damage? Nine months of this administration is enough for us to stop pretending that this is somehow normal, and that we are on the verge of some sort of pivot to governing, to stability. Nine months is more than enough for us to say, loudly and clearly: Enough. The outcome of this is in our hands. We can no longer remain silent, merely observing this train wreck, passively, as if waiting for someone else to do something. The longer we wait, the greater the damage, the harsher the judgment of history.”

I’ve been thinking about that battle cry at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic and gay activism about AIDS, Silence = Death.

It’s true in this case, too, because silence will get us nowhere; silence will continue to let _____ run roughshod over our country while the GOP, a tribe of hypocrisy, does nothing about him.

That’s why We The People need to stop being silent, and start speaking up and demanding our elected officials do something, or vote each and every complicit asshat out of office.
