Trump says he would vote for a gay president

Tim Fitzsimons 16 hrs ago

President Donald Trump said in an interview Thursday that he would be open to voting for a gay candidate for president.

"Would Americans vote for a gay man to be president?" Fox News journalist Geraldo Rivera asked 40 minutes into an episode of his podcast, "Roadkill With Geraldo."

"I think so," Trump said. "I think there would be some that wouldn't, and I wouldn't be among that group, to be honest with you."

"I think that it doesn't seem to be hurting Pete 'Boot-edge-edge,'" Trump said of the openly gay presidential contender, slowly using the phonetic pronunciation of the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor's Maltese surname.

"But there would certainly be a group," the president repeated, "that probably wouldn't. But you and I would not be in that group."

"We would not," Rivera responded.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

After knowing what the homosexual agenda has done to this nation.  I am one that is all for people doing what they want in their own bedrooms as long as it isn't a crime.  But the homosexuals have sued people.  Have been homosexualizing (word) this country for probably better than 20 years.  It hasn't been about personal relationships.  Its about exposing yourselves in public during gay pride.  Its about painting sidewalks with gay rainbows.  And most of all changing the church. 

What has happened to the Republican party?  Used to support marriage act.  Now we want gay presidents.

It's also about openly condemning and punishing anyone who dares say that homosexuality is a sin and that marriage is between a man and a woman.

It's far more perverse than even the filthy "gay" parades.  It's about destroying the moral fabric of the country and marginalizing anyone who stands for it as having some sort of mental illness.

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.

So, if he has made mentions of wanting to be President for life, and says he would vote for a gay President... would that mean he's actually in the closet?  :pondering:

(that's a joke, btw)

I realize that facts may not matter to this discussion, but Trump did not say he "would" vote for a homosexual, but only that a person's homosexuality would not to Trump be an absolute bar to voting for him/her.

IOW, the OP article title misrepresents what Trump said. Unsurprisingly.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Well... they're desperate to find something, anything, they can use to turn off enough Trump voters.  If they can present Trump as "pro-homo"... it would, they hope, turn off enough of his Christian/evengelical supporters.

Actually, that IS what he said.  That he wouldn’t be in the group that wouldn’t vote for a homosexual.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Facts are immaterial where there's an opportunity to hyperventilate about Trump.

My two cents - being a homosexual is no more disqualifying for the office than any other sin we are all guilty of. Being open about it would determine whether I would support him/her.

Well, I read and re-read it.  Donald Trump said he would be open to voting for a gay president.  So I am responsible for promoting Trump as "pro-homo"?  I think he did that himself.  But don't worry about Evangelicals.  They have Jerry Jr. and his gay escapades.  They haven't folded yet even though Jerry Jr.  runs one of the biggest Christian Universities but never mentions God in his twitter.  Only his fabricated god Trump.

Well you wouldn't if you suspected they were going to further shove their agenda down your throat.

1. Government encouragement, support and even requirement of sex education courses, prepared and taught by homosexual women and men, presenting homosexuality — and homosexual sex acts — as a valid, healthy preference and lifestyle and a viable alternative to heterosexuality (for a recent summary of the queering of sex education in America, click HERE, and for a blatant admission that gay activists want to indoctrinate your kids, click HERE). This is where your children are taught details about homosexual sex acts and forced to commit them. (See 12, 20 and 21);
2. Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent (making your children open season for pedophiles);
3. Repeal of all laws that restrict the gender or number of persons entering into a marriage unit;
4. Extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit, regardless of gender or numbers;
5. Addition of “sexual orientation” to the list of minorities protected by anti-discrimination laws (this would be the first people group in America granted such status based upon volitional behavior rather than upon immutable characteristics, such as gender or race);
6. Deny tax-exempt status to organizations and institutions that discriminate against lesbian and gay people (this would include Christian churches and para-church ministries);
7. Deny federal funding to institutions that discriminate against lesbian and gay people (this would include Christian colleges and universities and para-church ministries);
8. Passage of “hate crimes” laws in all 50 states (regardless of the fact that such laws violate the U.S. Constitution);
9. Passage of laws making it criminal to have thoughts and speech of a “homophobic” nature (regardless of the fact that such laws violate the U.S. Constitution);
10. Permeate every level of government with gay-friendly officials (to codify the gay agenda);
11. Demand legalized same-sex marriage, thereby wrecking the traditional institution of marriage (for a recent admission of this intent by a pro-gay activist, click HERE);
12. Attack the Bible, especially where homosexuality is condemned, and make it appear that God does not condemn homosexuality by inventing new interpretations of selected verses (7);
13. Win over Christian churches and denominations, thereby neutralizing the greatest obstacle to the homosexual movement (7);
14. Partner with the liberal media in mounting a propaganda campaign to win over the majority of heterosexuals to the homosexual movement;
15. Portray homosexuals as victims, instead of aggressive challengers;
16. Make homosexuals look good by publicizing famous homosexuals who are well-liked by the general public;
17. Make homosexuality look good by portraying lasting, committed homosexual relationships as the norm of the homosexual lifestyle (never mind the facts that such homosexual relationships are the exception rather than the rule and that promiscuity is rampant in most such relationships, relative to heterosexual marriage);
18. Make the anti-gay “victimizers” look bad by coining and repeating charges of hatred, homophobe and bigotry against anyone who does not agree with them;
19. Knowingly and intentionally propagate lies, myths and hoaxes that promote the ideals and goals of the homosexual movement, in order to win over the heterosexual majority;
20. Punish businesses that do not support the homosexual movement (e.g., boycotts, demonstrations, lawsuits and negative media blitzes).
21. Jamming. This tactic refers to the public smearing of Christians, traditionalists or anyone else who opposes the “gay” agenda in order to marginalize them and make them shut up, and it requires the full cooperation of the liberal media.

If I suspected a particular candidate had an agenda that I considered wrong, I wouldn't vote for that person - regardless of his or her bedroom behavior.

Well I don't know where you live but most of them do.  Try living in one of the most gay cities and you would know they all have that agenda.

Also the most gay cities in America are run by the liberals.  Might not say much to you, but it says a lot to me.

They will allow everything.  Is it any wonder that San Francisco is overrun with human crap?  No, because San Francisco is a everything goes place.

One thing leads to another.  Gay scene, drugs, violence...…………..

If you want to vote for the homosexual agenda go ahead.

Referring to the ideas of Edmund Burke, in his "The Conservative Mind"
Russell Kirk articulated 10 core Principles, among them:
"The Family Unit of Father, Mother, Son and Daughter is the foundational
core and essence of culture/society within the nation/state."
As such, any attitude, behavior, impulse or sentiment that harms the
Family Unit is condemned/forbidden which includes abortion, homosexuality,
incest, transgenderism; among others.
So much for Trump's Conservatism!!!!!!!!!!

What has happened to the Republican party?  Used to support marriage act.  Now we want gay presidents.

To be fair to President Trump he didn't say he "wants gay Presidents."
