PENNSYLVANIA: GOP State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe Calls Gay Rep. Brian Sims A 'Lying Homosexual'

[Soph0571]

A Republican state lawmaker in Pennsylvania is calling a colleague a “lying homosexual” in a Facebook post attacking liberal legislators. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe also is defending his comments, which he made Friday.

He tells The Associated Press that he mentioned the sexual orientation of Democratic Rep. Brian Sims of Philadelphia because Sims has spoken openly about being gay, and because he believes it is “immoral behavior.”

Sims is calling Metcalfe “Rep. Snowflake McRacist” on Twitter and says Metcalfe “claims victimhood” when he’s called out in public. Metcalfe also recently accosted another state lawmaker for repeatedly touching his arm, and suggested the man might be gay.

In the UK this would be a resignation offence......

1. Good god! How these people get elected and then morph into these crazy loons ?

Metcalf is an openly bigot hater and needs to be voted out of office. Wow.
What an asshole Metcalf is.

3. He wont lose

I took a look at his wiki page and something tells me the voters of his District think like him.

Demographics
96% White
1% Black
1% Hispanic

He also said the quote below. Which seems like something a closeted man would say:

On December 5, 2017, Metcalfe strongly took issue with colleague Matthew Bradford touching his arm while speaking to him, saying, "I'm a heterosexual. I have a wife. I love my wife. I don't like men as you might so stop touching me all the time. Keep your hands to yourself. If you want to touch somebody, you have people on your side of the aisle that might like it. I don't."

8. He and his district listen to Fox

And Fox amplifies homophobia to get votes for GOP billionaires. Welcome to the Republican party.

9. "How these people ..."

I'm originally from Pennsylvania and, sadly, some of "these people"
are my right wing evangelical siblings.

5. Whenever I see

Whenever I see something like this I always wonder if they have a wide stance and what his Grindr profile is.

How is Ted Haggard doing these days? All better now? Make him go through conversion therapy and see how he likes it.

Keep out of people's bedrooms and knock off the bigotry.

6. Metcalfe is an utter loon case

And he will be re-elected in a heartbeat. Welcome to Pennsyltucky.

7. GOP propaganda aims to amplify homophobia

So this is what you get. Not just gop base voters listen to fox and Limbaugh’s homophobia. But gop politicians do too.

Best thing we can do to improve acceptance in this country is vote Dem and reject GOP identity politics that amplifies hate to get votes.
