Huerfano County GOP: Jared Polis is "openly gay" and "against our American values"

[TexasTowelie]

In a June 27 Facebook post published the morning after Colorado’s primary election, Huerfano County Republicans urge anyone considering not voting for GOP gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton to “rethink” their decision. They explained their reason for supporting Stapleton instead of his Democratic opponent in the next sentence.

“Jared Polis is an openly gay congressman who is very much against our American values.”

Included with the text of the post is a link to Congressman Polis’ voting record. It is unclear whether the Huerfano GOP believes him to be “very much against our American values” because he is “openly gay” or because of his voting record.

A call to Huerfano County Republican Chair Debi Sporleder was not returned. Sporleder has previously signed her name to Huerfano County Republicans Facebook posts. This story will be updated with any statements received.

The party account also liked a commenter’s claim that Polis “would head us willy nilly down the socialist anti-Christian path” and who criticized Polis for not mentioning “his gayness” in any campaign ads, despite “purporting to be proud of it.”

1. Not against my American values. What makes them think they are more American than me.

Jared Polis will make an excellent governor while those assholes in the Colorado GOP will live fine lives and still complain. They can take their self-righteous "American values" and go screw themselves. Narrow-minded bigots are what they are.

2. The rightwing always claims the right to define American values

We can't let them get away with it.
