From the moment he became the Republican nominee for Virginia lieutenant governor, Chesapeake minister E.W. Jackson has had to cope with questions about some of his past controversial remarks on social issues. On Wednesday, he hit upon a new strategy for dealing with them — denial.

In an interview with WUSA 9, Jackson began by saying: “Probably most of what they hear in the mainstream media from my opponent is not true,” and claimed he had been a “unifying figure most of my life.”

Anchor Derek McGinty then asked: “Did you say that gay people live a sick lifestyle, they’re sick people?” ... “Never said that,” Jackson responded. “What I’ve said is I think that the movement, the effort to change the culture is an effort to pervert things. But look, here’s the thing. I said that in the context of ministry. And as a minister, I teach what? The Bible. I’m not running to be minister of Virginia or bishop of Virginia.”

But Jackson did say that, as has been widely reported. ... In a recorded interview in October 2012 with the group Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, Jackson said of gays and lesbians: “Their minds are perverted, they’re frankly very sick people psychologically, mentally and emotionally and they see everything through the lens of homosexuality.” (He also said homosexuality “poisons culture, it destroys families, it destroys societies; it brings the judgment of God unlike very few things that we can think of.”)
