My phrasing should’ve been better on that, it was an accusation not a request haha.

Tribalism is a scourge on politics and on society as a whole.

I don’t subscribe to that at all. I’ll call both sides out in a heartbeat.

It’s the hypocrisy of these people in this instance because they are trying to push a story and leading with the gay angle. It’s lauded and seen as a virtue if you’re on the left, but controversial if you’re on the right

It's probably more a problem of lying than a problem of being gay.


Lying how? Do you know who it is?

What if it’s just a closeted fig? Is that lying now?

such discrimination. Let these people be gay and don't worry about it. THe issue is being uncareful with any romantic entanglements, gay or straight.

Granted, though, if somebody is deathly afraid of being found out, blackmail is a factor. And being closeted adds to the deathly afraid factor. same as being married and having an affair.

I don’t know any of them but Cotton seems like the clearest guess based on pics of the candidates and their families

Barney Frank’s boy toy ran a brothel out of Frank’s DC condo, the Dems had zero problems.

But now the animal fricker Cenk wants to drop an October surprise STORY about 1 lone Republican?

Bet he’s in a hotly contested race too.

Tim Cotton is the obvious choice.

I hold my nose to vote for him every cycle and Hallie Schoffner is putting a better fight than most Dem candidates do in Arkansas. Cotton’s polling lead was in single digits last time I looked so maybe they are hoping to sway some folks and get those of us who can’t stand cotton to just skip that race.

I just assumed all members of Congress are sexual deviants.

This guy is a nutcase. He hates Israel's guts and backs the Muslim brotherhood...

I am sure when he drops the closeted figs name he will hate on israel and jews some more.

He is as bad as Tucker but he has always been this way...

I suspect they will say either Paxton or Husted from Ohio.

Tom Cotton gives off gay vibes. But he would win either way.

He wants to be president, I figured as much, I think if he wins Michigan, he will be the democrat nominee. Just heard a liberal woman that was on his campaign staff confirm it. Says he is full of himself and thinks he’s the next Obama. Again, no surprise, just confirmation

I could care less about people’s private life but if it’s underage then it’s a problem and they need to resign.

There is zero question in my mind that it is likely him. My second guess would have been Wicker out of Mississippi.

Wicker isn't running. I doubt they waste that much capital on someone not running this cycle. In my opinion it has to be someone running in a competitive race.
