The Kootenai County GOP in Idaho has endorsed David J. Reilly for a school board candidate position in the city of Post Falls. Despite pledging not to send his daughter to the school district or any public school, he says hell do all in my power to make sure Kootenai County remains a place where families can raise Godly, conservative, patriotic children.
The GOPs endorsement comes despite the fact that Reilly has made several anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks, both on social media and as a writer and digital content creator. That includes his claim that out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, are planning to start dabbling in human trafficking because they sought to become parents.
Reilly made the statement in a 2020 tweet sharing an article by LGBTQ Nation in 2019 that reported the couples intent to become parents. Now, they are.

For years, anti-LGBTQ people and Republicans shamelessly attacked the couple for not having children before. Now that they are parents, many of those same people have wasted no time attacking the couple for being parents.

(2,636 posts)The GOQP has its own dictionary.
Adoption is now "human trafficking."
Never mind GOQP policies surrounding women's reproductive health will lead to 1) more unwanted pregnancies, and 2) a return to the forced birth/baby scoop era where affluent but inconveniently
infertile, childless Christain/Christofascists decide whether an inconveniently fertile young woman forced to deliver keeps her child or surrenders it.
Never mind the biggest pedos/human traffickers seem to be in the GOP.
Muddy up the language to hide what they're doing in plain sight.
