Republicans Cry Crocodile Tears Over Orange County Dem Vice Chair's Yelling at Gay GOPers
Man, what a bizarro world we live in under the Trump presidency when a Democrat is yelling at gay men who are volunteering on a political campaign, and Republicans are demanding an apology and whining they don't have safe spaces to be their nasty, harassing selves anymore!
Yet that's exactly the situation that arose this month after a viral video showed Democratic Party of Orange County North OC Vice Chair Jeff LeTourneau yelling at gay GOPers in Fullerton. They were trying to convince voters at a Fullerton Wal-Mart to recall State Senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) because...well, the GOP says Newman was the deciding vote on that stupid gas tax the California State Legislature just passed, but everyone knows it's happening because the 29th District is perhaps the purplest in California and California Republicans are desperate for any sort of victory in Aztlán these days.

Conservative media nationwide has huffed about it ever since, and the video even made FOX News. The subsequent uproar led OC GOP chair Fred Whitaker last Friday to call for LeTourneau's resignation, and for the DPOC and Newman to condemn LeTournea's "vicious tirade," he said in a press release. "As a community, we must stand together and oppose this kind of intimidation—it has no place in civil society."
Triggered! Of course, the wackjob press or Whitaker didn't give any context whatsoever: that LeTourneau is a legendary gay activist in Orange County, that he's faced off against OC troglodytes for decades, and that he was the inspiration for the quote most associated with Bob "B1 Baboso" Dornan—"Shut up, fag!" even though it was Dorna's wife who said it during a town hall.
