Queer Eye‘s Karamo Brown has returned to Twitter with a feel-good video following a two-week absence in response to fan backlash for him praising lying liar and former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer as “a good guy” and “really sweet.”
Brown and Spicer are both contestants on the 28th season of questionably named Dancing with the Stars, and after praising Spicer, many people pointed out that Spicer’s lies and gaslighting helped provide cover to Trump’s Islamophobic Muslim ban, his racist claims that three to five million people voted illegally in the November 2016 election and Trump’s paranoid fantasy that Obama wiretapped his offices. Spicer uttered these and oh so many other lies while serving Trump.

After receiving blowback for his praise, Brown originally started blocking his critics on Twitter before temporarily leaving the platform.
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.
But now, in an Instagram post (below), Brown makes some intense duckface and half-heartedly sings along to the Maren Morris song “Girl.” The accompanying caption reads:
So… some of you may know I deleted my other social media pages and took a long break from posting on ig because I been in a bad state of mind. My kids/family & I were being threatened by strangers… People who I thought supported & loved me turned their backs on me… saying I was a traitor, a horrible person, delusional and treating me really bad… but as I walk into my first dance rehearsal for @dancingabc No More Tears and No More Holding My Head Low! Im playing my favorite/pick me up song from @marenmorris … taking a deep breath and reminding myself #EverythingsGonnaBeOkay ??? #ImBack
Yeah, needlessly praising a huge liar is bad, but not merely as heinous as threatening someone’s kids and family. How terrible!
Here’s Brown’s Instagram post:
Spicer stood up for Brown, stating:
“He and I had a really fun talk — not about politics, just about getting to know each other and how excited we are about that opportunity. That’s kind of been his trademark. He has tried to foster a more positive dialogue and he did it again and it was really great, but I felt bad because he was trying to be a good person. … He was obviously doing the right and good thing and he has the best intentions. We need more people like him as opposed to fewer. It was a shame that people were so nasty to him.”
Whatever. The show premieres Sept. 16, 2019.

Yes, no one should be threatened. For the record, Spicer is not just a liar. He is currently a senior adviser and spokesman for America First Action, a Super PAC working to get the racist re-elected.

The right wing troll account is always here to defend anti- #LGBTQ bigots.

Translation: He praised a man who fought to harm his family and kids……but he’s the victim.

As if Queerty didn’t know that was exactly what was going to happen when they ran their multiple pearl clutching articles on this nothing of a story.

No member of trump’s administration should ever be give a pass – unless they actually do something constructive about getting him out of office, stop him from being elected and generally doing all they can to uncover all the garbage this man has strewn on this country. No passes – ever. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. And that goes for anyone who defends them.
Not that this is relevant, but Karamo is the most irrelevent member of this new queer group.

Well we don’t know if his family was threatened – that is his claim. If true then it should not happen of course. However, why did all of this happen in the first place? Sean Spicer is one of the most disgusting men to ever have been allowed in the White House – he willingly used fascist-type propaganda and lies to protect Trump and still has not apologized for it. He is not a ‘good man’ – was Goebbels a good man? Spicer used the tactics of Goebbels .
Mr Brown needs to understand why people called him a traitor – most of his viewers come from the lgbtq+ community or those who might be thought of as ‘liberal’. These are the very people that Trump attacked incessantly – and Spicer justified it with lies If he cannot understand that then perhaps he should just join the Republican Party.
