I know, I know…. “Stop giving this idiot attention”
I'm not generally a critic of what you post, but this time I would have to say that you are, in fact, giving him unnecessary attention. He's a dumbass kid who is no longer useful to the GOP.
Wait, I thought they (GOP fascists) were making him their next protégé? (Legit question)
Or have they already dumped this little turd?
I don't see a lot of them backing up the stupid shit he's been saying. It seems like they've left him twisting in the wind.
I just love hearing about the stupid stuff conservatives do though lol
I also do think there’s an argument where you shouldn’t ignore people who might become dangerous later in life.
I understand that, but this is a news community, not a politics community. This just isn't news.
Agreed. This story is essentially "Guy who was relevant years ago says 'Ur Gay' to someone on Internet". Which while disagreeable isn't something I'd expect people rushing to the presses about.
Funny, I thought it wouldn’t be appropriate for a political community since he isn’t explicitly in politics
And yet you do it anyway?
If you know, why not take it down?
It’s pride month. The Advocate thought it was newsworthy. Ignoring homophobia won’t make it go away.
