27. Hypocrisy to the max - worried about drag queens reading books, but real child molesters...?

The Republican Party has become a collection of full-on bigots, liars, and fascists. They attack drag queens reading books to kids as groomers, but when one of their own says he was forgiven by God for his molesting of teenage girls, that's just fine. After all, he's just a good ol' boy.

But then there is the ultimate violation of the Tennessee way - be a black man working for change. Do that and you are out.
