Hey, this Ted Busiek guy sounds fun! He’s not afraid to tell it like it is, and apparently “like it is” is calling anyone who challenges Donald Trump a “self-righteous faggot.”
Busiek was referring to Trump’s performance in a 1993 clip, where the businessman argued on-camera that Native Americans shouldn’t be allowed to run their own tribe’s affairs because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”
Good lord. Evidently, that 23-year-old clip met with Ted’s approval, and he wrote, “DONALD TRUMP. Putting self-righteous faggots in their place since 1993. How I love this fellow.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Ted later walked back the comment, ever so slightly. He told reporters that he didn’t mean the word “faggot” in a “hateful sense,” just that it’s another word for someone who’s “obnoxious” and “kind of being a jerk.”
He added, “You can insult somebody without being hateful,” and said that gay couples shouldn’t be allowed to get married or adopt children. He’s also called trans people “perverts.” Okay so what does he actually think hate is, if this isn’t it?
Trump hasn’t responded publicly to the kerfuffle. But the end result of the whole thing is that we are yet again talking about the guy, so on balance he probably considers this a PR victory.

His crimes are he supports Trump and called someone a name?
Obviously he deserves nothing short of public humiliation and an end to his career.

They still make Brylcreem? This guy certainly fits the Republican mold of stupid beyond belief, hateful beyond sense, and ignorant beyond believability. Another in a long long list of stupid people trying to run for office and that big money for no work while trying to show how hateful you can be to other fellow citizens. Nothing like appealing to the gutter trash.

He’s a homophobic douchebag.No wonder self hating people defend that.(That thing doesn’t deserve to be called a person let alone a man.)

Anyone who is a public figure in politics should know better than to use this kind of hate speech and appalling language regardless of their views or personal feelings. How do these people get into office?
