An ex-cop from Florida posted a truly insane video to YouTube this week railing against gay people, who he says are destroying the Republican party by causing real “patriots” to become frustrated, which ultimately inspired the siege on the U.S. Capitol last January, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Kevin Tuck used to be an officer with the Windermere Police Department. That is until he was arrested last month for allegedly participating in the deadly insurrection on January 6.
Now, he’s been stripped of his badge and is facing multiple federal charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, aiding and abetting, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.
In a video posted to YouTube this week, Tuck, a self-proclaimed “patriot pastor”, called on his fellow Republicans to “rise up” against the “alternative lifestyles” tearing their party apart.
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.
“You look at January 6. That was a day that patriots were fed up. Fed up!” he ranted in the 25-minute video. “Patriots are being arrested left and right for trespassing. You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“The Republican Party is weak,” he continued. “We need to rise up and be conservative again. Do you remember what conservative means, Republicans? Hear me out: We are embracing the homosexual lifestyle as if this is normal.”
Wait… what?
We thought the insurrection was about trying to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election results. But apparently, according to Tuck, it was really about Republicans pushing back against other Republicans for “embracing the homosexual lifestyle.” Or something.
“We need to go back to becoming a conservative nation again,” he ranted. “Back to nationalism. Being proud of this country.”
When asked for comment by his local media station, Tuck said he couldn’t speak on record without first checking with his attorney. Shortly after that, his crazy video vanished from YouTube.
Tuck’s son, Nathaniel, has also been charged with crimes connected to the January 6 insurrection. He, too, worked in law enforcement prior to being arrested last month.
HOLY SHIT! Not only are Kevin & Nathaniel Tuck both cops – at least one is a proud boy https://t.co/JzER9VELf1 pic.twitter.com/4xWmEI5SqS

Kevin Tuck pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him at his arraignment last month. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 1.

Just another “so-called” Christian who spreads the words of hatred. Hope he’s convicted of Jan. 6 and gets a long sentence with his son.

Imagine if we truly did have the power to control the masses to do our bidding?

Up to now, I’ve focused my gay superpowers on choreographing hurricanes. But maybe we should all should start thinking bigger!

I did hear recently that we did over power god and took his rainbow away from it.

Give all the phobes lisps and limp wrists and a strong desire to redecorate every time they enter a dwelling that is new to them. Now — that will help them understand stereotyping and we will just have to work on removing the hatred from their cold, black, ugly hearts.

Forget the entrance exams – cadets need to be psychologically screened before anything else.

This guy should hook up with the guy at the Wisconsin library who’s upset about the gay bunnies. Their obsessions might balance each other out a bit.

Wow, a White Don the Con, Q-ristian, RepubliQan, failed January q-oup participant q-op who hates gay people: no surprise there! There are many, many like him, unfortunately. It’s a good thing the legal system isn’t minimizing his or his son’s crimes, because they both essentially made clear through their actions that they’re members of the shock troops for fascism. Get ’em off the streets and behind bars where they belong.

How was this moron’s single digit (perhaps fractional) IQ even large enough to qualify him as a police officer? I realize the standards must not be very rigorous-at least from what we see almost daily in the news-across the nation. Doesn’t matter though—a traitor is a traitor. He—along with all the others should be lined up and sentenced as any other terrorist would be, and made an example.

I left an earlier comment and all the facts can be proven.

So that’s what happened to Santino Rice!

Hopefully this man will be sent “up the river” for a very long time. Actually, it’s fundamentalist Christians who are trying to destroy America!
