    Very strange comments. People have been accusing or insinuating that LGBT folks are pedophiles since I can remember. If I'm reading her comments correctly, she seems to be blaming the folks who are pointing out this very fact as opposed to the people who've been doing it.

    Weird. I read it the same way. Can’t wrap my head around it.

    Here’s the shooter’s dad. Maybe he is tired and overwrought but he sounds like he is relieved his son is only a mass murderer and not a homosexual. Jeez

    The Colorado shooter’s dad on finding out his son murdered people: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican. We don’t do gay.

    Now now it’s not very nice to point out how rancid this party is in fact “It’s insane”

    Are we sure this is real? This is just absurd.

    Team Trump weighs in on Club Q. Charming people. My reasonable POV m? Fewer evangelical Christian clubs more Satan clubs.

    'Reaping the consequences of eternal damnation': Jenna Ellis says Club Q victims are burning in Hell

    The five people who were killed in the nightclub that night, there is no evidence at all that they were Christians. So assuming that they were not, that they had not accepted the truth of the gospel of Christ and affirmed Jesus Christ as the lord of their life, they are now reaping the consequences of having eternal damnation," Ellis said. "And that is far, far greater – we should be having that conversation. Instead of just the tragedy of what happened to the body, we need to be talking about what happened to the soul and the fact that they are now in eternal separation from our lord and savior Jesus Christ."

    Not surprised, many ignorant MAGAlites feel this same way.

    That's an unfair and dishonest swipe. The Mod you refer to has said there are good people to be found within Trump's camp, but to say he was speaking of those who think like the shooter's father is a stretch and distortion of what is posted above. Context is always key.

    You are imputing thoughts, words and intent into the sentence you quoted that aren't there.

    Just like that, the shooter went from an assumed representative of right-wing anti-LGBT harassment to a victim of it. Facts may change, but the narrative never does.

    Congregations, that was a much more articulate response than I expected.
