Fred Karger Wants ‘To Change The Republican Party,’ As If What The GOP Really Supports Is Change

Fred Karger, who hasn’t asked a single Queerty blogger to join his presidential exploratory committee, celebrated yesterday’s formal declaration to run for president like any politician: with a media appearance. “Being a gay Republicans is kind of an oxymoron,” he tells CBS News. “I have been a fighter in my party, I have always been on the more moderate side but I’m also a protege of Lee Atwater. We need to open up this party and that’s one of my reasons for running. The party should not be dominated by one faction or another. It should be open to all.” COMMIE!
