Failure to support the Left’s agenda is apparently tantamount to support for murder.
By Ben Shapiro — June 22, 2016
In the immediate aftermath of the murder of 49 Americans at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., CNN’s Anderson Cooper descended on the scene of the crime. There, he confronted Florida state attorney general Pam Bondi, who was attempting to organize support for the victims and their families. She agreed to speak with Cooper, presumably to talk about those efforts.
Cooper, however, had a different agenda.
Bondi had defended Florida’s statute in favor of traditional marriage in court. This, according to Cooper, put her in league with the ISIS-inspired jihadi. “Do you really think you’re a champion of the gay community?” Cooper sneered. “Do you worry about using language accusing gay people of trying to do harm to the people of Florida when doesn’t that send a message to some people who might have bad ideas in mind?”
Cooper’s not alone. The New York Times lamented that the Orlando massacre did not drive sudden, wholesale acceptance of the LGBT agenda, from same-sex marriage to transgender bathrooms. Writing in the Times, Jeremy Peters and Lizette Alvarez mourned that the terrorist attack “only exacerbated the anger from Democrats and supporters of gay causes, who are insisting that no amount of warm words or reassuring Twitter posts change the fact that Republicans continue to pursue policies that would limit legal protections for gays and lesbians.”
