Conservative Host Thinks Amtrak Engineer's Sexuality Is 'A Factor' In Crash

[Cali_Democrat]

According to conservative radio host Sandy Rios, Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostian’s sexual orientation was “a factor” in Tuesday's train derailment that killed eight people and injured more than 200. Right-wing news sites have hastened to point out that Bostian, who campaigned against California’s ban on same-sex marriage, appears to be gay.

“I am not inferring to [sic] those of you who are gay rights activists and who like to monitor this show, I’m not inferring that this accident happened because he was gay,” said Rios, who hosts “Sandy Rios In The Morning” on American Family Radio. “But I do think it’s an interesting part of the story, and I bet it will be edited out.”

“I don’t know," she added, "but I think it is something to be discussed and I think it’s a factor and I doubt you will hear it anywhere else.”

8. Well, if he "appears to be gay" whatever that "appearance" is, and this expert on "gays"

she's right when she says "I doubt you will hear it anywhere else." Cretin.

10. Assholes like Sandy Rios don't get hired

simply for being bigots but, you know, it is a factor.

11. In addition to everything else, she also used "infer" incorrectly.

It should be "imply".
Actually, why is this person even on the air at all?
I am so sick of these people.

12. You are right.

But while not "inferring" that his sexual orientation caused the crash, she thinks it is an "interesting part of the story"? Huh?? WHY?!!

She might be on to something.
