This gay congressman just blasted his colleagues in a fiery speech and the internet is lit
Powerful speech from @MarkPocan, decrying an effort by Republicans in the appropriations committee to block funding associated with any groups in the LGBT orbit pic.twitter.com/0HbNbOgUdRThank you.Thank you for this.
You were 1000% spot on.Dang, Rep Pocan is a real oneWow!!!But Pocan didn’t stop there: he also called out a specific committee member, Representative Andy Harris (R-MD), for falsely suggesting one of the LGBTQ+ centers in question had a support group for seven-year-olds to “groom other seven-year-olds.”“You know there’s a saying — how do you show you’re a bigot without saying you’re a bigot?” retorted Pocan.For the next several minutes, Harris, who seemingly can’t handle the truth, proceeded to whine about Pocan’s language. “I know it’s a little warm outside and a snowflake can melt, but this is a little bit ridiculous,” said Pocan.
Diva down!If the @HouseGOP took away earmarks from the NAACP or the Urban League because they serve the Black community, they'd rightfully be called racist bigots.Stripping funding from LGBTQI+ groups, however, is just another day in Congress for these extremists.Enough is enough.
