Trump Backtracks on Pro-LGBT View


Less than 24 hours after saying transgender individuals should be able to “use the bathroom they feel is appropriate,” Donald Trump backtracked from that pro-LGBT position. Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News Thursday evening, the Republican presidential frontrunner decided that while he still believes North Carolina’s law overturning local anti-discrimination ordinances is “causing a lot of problems,” he thinks “local communities and states should make the decision. The federal government should not be involved.” This comes despite the fact that there was never any questions over whether the feds should have a say in the matter.

Only 12 hours? His handlers are getting better.  Hey, He only has two more position changes to go before he's on to his next liberal statement backtrack.

I'm getting to wonder if Sean Hannity is not playing a role here - maybe sitting with him before the cameras are turned on  telling him how to presumably move an unpopular position to the right a bit, giving him course corrections for the FOX audience.

We wanted Trump to stress his presidential side, not become a division of Manafort & Black.

To think that I used to actually like Hannity. 
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Trump the Chump is a flip-flopping fraud.  Sean should be ashamed of himself for aiding and abetting him.

Hannity is Trump's main Cabana Boy over at FNC but Greta, Bolling and those perky kids at Fox and Friends (especially Kilmeade) are not far behind.

Never any question whether the feds should have a say in the matter?

Transgender teen wins federal case over bathrooms, Title IX

A federal appeals court ruled in favor of 16-year-old Gavin Grimm, reversing a lower district court's decision. Grimm claimed the Gloucester County School Board violated Title IX, a law banning sex discrimination in schools, when the board prevented him from using boys' restrooms.

"The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit marks the first time a federal appeals court has determined that Title IX protects the rights of transgender students to use sex-segregated facilities that are consistent with their gender identity," the American Civil Liberties Union said.

Both the abortion and gay rights issues are no-brainers.

Americans now gleefully open their arms wide open for both perversions - regardless of the letter they wear on their foreheads.

IOW, Americans are a perverted society, and nobody cares.

Wonder no more. Hannity could not show his bias any more clearly if he tried.

It was just a matter of time before tRumps handlers told him to change his mind on what he said. 

He has back tracked every negative statement he has made in this campaign, why not this one.

Why can't we just go back to a system of absolute property rights?  If I own a business i should be able to do whatever I want with it.  If it pleases my clientele and displeases others, too bad.  If i want to have gender neutral bathrooms, I should be able to have them.  If I don't then I should not be compelled.  What is it about this concept that is so foreign to people?  In the end, these issues always come down to either right wing social conservatives or left wing do-gooders trying to force me to do something with MY PROPERTY.  Once we allow that, and the cat has long been out of the bag, in time there really will be no rights associated with owning property that cannot be removed by the tyranny of the majority.

I will Colmes credit for keeping Hannity "Conservative." After Hannity got his own show he began to swing more to the middle, now that he is shilling for tRump he is full bore left. He has had tRump on radio or television over 40 times. that is more than the other combined :beer:.

Poor Happy doesn't see the difference between a Presidential CANDIDATE, and a First Lady.

Did we elect Laura as President, Happy?  Did her opinions matter that much?

Her husband was unequivocally pro-Life and proved it throughout his Presidency.

Trump is pro-ABORTION  and pro PLANNED PARENTHOOD, as well as clearly pro-LGBTQ agenda.

And YOU think he's Jesus.................
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I think you're right about that verga.  Hannity never has been what you could call a 'thinker' but with Colmes he at least argued from a Conservative perspective.

Now that he's drowning in TRump Koolaid, he's swung hard left and is unrecognizable as the guy who used to fight with Alan.

I remember years ago stopping in an open-air bar in Florida.  I pulled out a cigar and was about to blaze-up when the owner told me I couldn't because of the new laws there at the time.  It struck me and I said, "but you are the owner.  What do you think?"  He said, "it doesn't matter what I think".  It was one of those moments that stays with you.
