OP
This is why we can't engage in such crap. We are supposed to be the good guys.

Yep. Most tweeting are R's. The Reagan Battalion? Reagan was horrific to the LGBTQ community.

Better yet: she says she was wrong, a bit insensitve, apologize and then never does it again ...

Yes, enough time has passed. No reason to freshen the mild transgression in people's memories.

No I am asking for a press secretary that doesn't use homophobic slurs.

You've not been paying attention to DU. I've lost count how many people use that slur here.

No. I would think it was stupid, tonedeaf and insensitive and if they apologized

If she was a republican, she would have doubled down and would have refused to apologized.

NO. Jen is not "the devil," for fuck's sake. She was referring to current events.

No, she was referring to the nickname given to the hypocrite by male sex workers.

Public figures can indeed sue for defamation, they just have a higher burden of proof.

Except he did. Only the "unjust enrichment" claim was thrown out, not defamation.

No, what is not true is your claim that "Public figures can't sue for defamation."

I did not make up your wrong claim that "Public figures can't sue for defamation."

That's my point. She's not homophobic that I can see. She was going after Lindsey's goat ...

Exactly! There is a difference between being a homophobe and saying/doing something homophobic.

She should say "I regret some people got upset at my choice of words". And move on.

She should not apologize. She's nicer and more civil than anyone Trump ever had working for him.

My guess is she will apologize and then check herself going forward. She seems a decent sort.

+1. Jen Psaki is a friend of the LGBT community and does not deserve this kind of swiftboating.

Psaki is not a homophobe, and she is doing an absolutely outstanding job for Democrats.

Are the gay sex workers who came up with the Lindsey nickname "Lady G" homophobes?

No, it's not. And if Harding says he heard sex workers call Graham Lady G, how is that hearsay?

No, he is asserting that he heard specific sex workers call Lindsay Graham Lady G.
