Jen Psaki, Biden Press Sec, homophobic tweet
-
Biden's Press Sec, Jen Psaki's homophobic tweet calling Sen Lindsey Graham "LadyG" has resurfaced.
Not surprisingly, the wokest ever Administration refuses to talk about it.
MSM, except Fox, has also been silent.
Just like with Joy Reid's homophobic tweets that she claimed was due to her account being hacked and called in the FBI only to later admit she lied, liberals didn't care because she was anti-Trump. The FBI didn't charge her with filing a false report, either.
It seems you can be as shitty a human as you want to be, as long as you hate Trump, and liberals will ignore your shittiness.
You could rampage through a maternity ward raping and eating all the babies and it would be ok with liberals because you are wearing an "I hate Trump" t-shirt.

I'd like to see this tweet.
Does this mean that conservatives suddenly care about LGBTQ people now?
-
Of COURSE not - it's about "Rage against the machine"!!
On a serious note, we held the Trump Administration to a high standard, and the Biden Administration shouldn't be given a pass either. I have no desire for there to be a double standard
That said, calling Sen Graham "Lady G" is actually common in LGBTQ circles in DC. If anyone deserves an apology, it's Sen Graham (not the LGBTQ community - who openly embrace this usage!). True, it is intended to be derogatory, but not to LGBTQ people, it's a "dis" to Sen Graham.
What this tweet tells me is that Jen Psaki has LGBTQ community ties
That said, since the Trump Administration virtually never apologized for his slights to other officials - slights that were grossly more offensive than this one - then I don't think we should expect an apology from the Biden Administration. Equal is equal.
Should she be called out for it? sure
Should we expect an apology? Girl? No! -
Remind me again which party was it that gave the US its 3 most homophobic laws ever?
I'll give you 2 hints, Bill Clinton and the party name starts with a D.
You know how you people whine about not being able to get gay cakes and whatnot? Well, you clowns can thank Schumer who authored the bill, and Biden, one of the co-sponsors, as well as Slick WIllie who signed it into law.
They also gave us DADT and DOMA.
DOMA violated the US Constitution by violating the Full Faith and Credit clause, even if you ignore the other parts, such as Equal Protection, etc.
For 26 years, people have been screaming that the 1994 crime bill was racist, which is kinda true. You hate the guy that reversed most of it and elect the guy who created it because y'all dumb as a box of rocks.

Ever? Really? Back in the 1700's, homosexuality was a capital offense (that is: death penalty) in some US Territories...
You wanna walk that back a little?

The case wasn't about getting a "gay cake" - it was about whether the cake maker could be FORCED to make a gay cake.... and the RIGHT DECISION was made, IMHO - just go get another cake maker! Jeez! Not like they're rare!
Or, if you HAVE to have one of THEIR cakes, order it without the HE&HE topper, and buy one on the friggin' Internet!
Freedom has to work and apply to both sides - the freedom of the gay couple to get married, and the freedom of the cake maker to not put 2 men on a cake.

Sorry, but Democrats do not have a monopoly on sounded good then legislation that was racist as fuck - even at the time it was passed!
Ever wonder why the drugs used by minorities were made illegal in the 1970's (in the original War on Drugs - thanks NIXON (a Republican)), but the ones used by Whites were generally left alone?
- Smoking pot is illegal! It's a mind-altering drug that is habit-forming and is a "gateway" drug to worse ones
- Smoking tobacco is fine though - never mind that nicotine is (in some studies) more than 5x more addictive than cocaine!
Later, in the 80's (thanks, Nancy Reagan), we realized that White folks were addicted to cocaine - same as black folks! But the blacks were using CRACK cocaine, while the whites were still sniffing it! So?
- Let's increase the penalty for CRACK cocaine and LOWER the penalty for "regular" cocaine possession!
Let's not forget the "Jim Crow" laws (passed mostly by Southern Democrats). No, I don't mean the drinking fountain or separate bathroom laws - I'm talking about the laws that make simple things felonies, and up to a Judge's (a white judge's) discretion.
Why? Because those same States have laws that say that FELONS CANNOT VOTE!
It wasn't at all uncommon for a black man to be found guilty of a minor crime - even a traffic accident - and have the white judge define it as a felony, and then set aside the sentence as "time served"! The whole point of the exercise wasn't so much law enforcement as it was voter suppression!Homophobia and racist ideals run deep in America.
We homosectionals should remember that we have a lot in common with other, racial and otherwise, minorities! Our fights are their fights!

1700s we were colonies of the UK. You know, in case you forgot.
Texas was the last place to have the death penalty for homosexuality and that had to end before they could officially join the US.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act allowed bigots to discriminate against LGBTs by claiming they violated their religion. It did not allow any other group to be discriminated against. They couldn't even discriminate against blacks citing "blackness is the mark of Cain". NOPE, the law only allows discrimination against LGBTs.
WOW, you are desperate to downplay the 1990s Democrats, as well as the Dixiecrats. Let's not forget that the Democrats are the party of the KKK.
"Blacks are like weeds that need to be exterminated" is a quote from Planned Parenthood found by Margaret Sanger, one of Hillary's heroes. Oddly, Sanger was an advocate of free speech. It's odd because the people that call her a hero tend to be against free speech.

@raphjd
The only part of the ugly, racist, homophobic past of the United States we disagree on is that I assign blame across the board. You want to blame one party over the other. -
So, you see both parties as equally bad, when only 1 of the parties have spent the last 50 years lying to and abusing us.
The party that promised us the moon, while telling us that the other party will murder us, is the party that repeatedly stabbed us in the back.
We were told to vote for Bill because he and the DNC loved us and would give us equality. Instead, we got 3 extremely homophobic anti-LGBT laws and a racist crime bill.

LOL, only to a RINO is telling the truth about Dems = rabid.

In a sense, yes.

I've seen the tweet since, and I think she should clarify what she meant, at the very least.
That said, calling Sen Graham "Lady G" is actually common in LGBTQ circles in DC. If anyone deserves an apology, it's Sen Graham (not the LGBTQ community - who openly embrace this usage!). True, it is intended to be derogatory, but not to LGBTQ people, it's a "dis" to Sen Graham.
It seems that way.

Possibly.
That said, since the Trump Administration virtually never apologized for his slights to other officials - slights that were grossly more offensive than this one - then I don't think we should expect an apology from the Biden Administration. Equal is equal.
This was my point, conservatives being 'outraged' over this is shallow.
Should she be called out for it? sure
Should we expect an apology? Girl? No!Yes
Depending on her explanation, she probably should so that it can be put behind her.

Whataboutism

Deflection

Gish Gallop

More Gish Gallop

Who forced it through Congress?

Frumpy didn't do jack with that legislation except tinker with its edges.
...Now, back to the subject at hand; there is only one party, in the present day, that attends the races for blatant, overt, rampant, and disgusting homophobia.
That party's name doesn't begin with a 'D', in spite of the spaghetti you just flung.

You really do have a mental illness.
It's funny that a commy worships the Democrats.
Kim Jong Pelosi
As a commy, I'm sure you are aware China and North Korea will take you in.

When you have nothing, this is what you reduce yourself to.

I don't.
Kim Jong Pelosi
Again, irrelevant.As a commy, I'm sure you are aware China and North Korea will take you in.
Nothing to do with my point.
It's aparrent you don't want to face up to the reality.

You refuse to admit the shitty history of the DNC. Even in the very recent past they were homophobic and racist.
Hell, they use racism to show they aren't racist.

The difference between you and I is that I acknowledge the past, but I don't wield it as a cudgel and as a weasel way out of facing the current day reality that only one party is overtly racist and homophobic.
Hell, they use racism to show they aren't racist.
Sure.
-
So do I, that is why I bring up the history of the DNC. The fag loving party has been extremely nasty to us over the years and well within my life time.
The RNC hasn't done much to us, despite the lies and hysteria the DNC made up about them.

You bring up history to engage in whataboutisms and deflection, not because they are germane to the discussion.
The RNC hasn't done much to us, despite the lies and hysteria the DNC made up about them.
Sure, just because they haven't lynched you, doesn't mean they haven't tried.
-
Ah, so we can only talk about hating the RNC. Gotcha.
BTW, you started the deflection and wataboutism in your very first post in this thread because you tried to make it all about conservatives when the topic was clearly about liberals.
If you are gonna get butt hurt and screechy, then follow your own rules before squawking at me.

Nope, you really do struggle with following a topic.

It's conservatives that are shrieking about this, not liberals.
Not a whataboutism.

I am. Keep up.
