Noted homophobe and former Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel, who is currently running to replace outgoing Sen. Rob Portman in the U.S.
Senate, has once again made a complete ass of himself on Twitter.Related: Photo of Josh Mandel in stuffed bra and wig resurfaces after he tweets transphobic slurEarlier this week, the 43-year-old Republican shared a satirical op-ed written by Joe Mathews about abolishing parenthood to make the state of California a more equal place.“This is not satire,” he raged. “They are trying to turn America into Sodom.”This is not satire.
They are trying to turn America into Sodom. https://t.co/7uZVQhMujt— Josh Mandel (@JoshMandelOhio) January 17, 2022To be clear, the article is satire.
If that wasn’t already obvious by the headline (“California should abolish parenthood, in the name of equity”), then surely this line makes it abundantly clear:My solution — making raising your own children illegal — is simple, and while we wait for the legislation to pass, we can act now: the rich and poor should trade kids, and homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors.Either Mandel didn’t actually read the article before sharing it with his 66,000 followers, or he’s just really that dumb.
