cringe factor

Log Cabin Republicans take desperate to wild new level and they’re getting trolled so hard

Following the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, the favorite right-wing response has been to wail that the agency has become “weaponized” against Donald Trump. No matter that crimes may have been committed and it’s their job to investigate.

Needless to say, their Stonewall tweet didn’t go over so well:
