And still the #2 wackiest state legislator next to our own Barbara Norton

During a Capitol forum on radical Islamic terrorism, former state Rep. Molly White, R-Belton, called a political reporter a “low-life son of a bitch” for asking a Republican lawmaker whether there would be any upcoming legislative forums regarding threats posed by radical Christianity and Judaism.

White, who was elected in 2014 and served one term, came under fire two years ago for asking visitors to her district office to sign a pledge of allegiance to the U.S. during Texas Muslim Capitol Day, when Muslims come to the Capitol to visit and discuss legislation with their local representatives.

She left an Israeli flag on her desk and instructed her staff to tell any Muslim who wandered in “to renounce Islamic terrorist groups and publicly announce allegiance to America and our laws,”

White also authored a bill to allow businesses to deny goods or services to a person based on “sincerely held religious beliefs.”

The Equality Texas story that White posted on social media notes that she refused to “meet with LGBT constituents.” She also authored or co-authored 10 anti-LGBT bills – many that appeared unconstitutional. Those bills did not pass.
