Liberal Group Calls Mitch McConnell A “Gay-Bashing Gay Senator”
Tweets by Bluegrass group have since been deleted.
WASHINGTON — A Kentucky progressive group accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of being gay in a pair of tweets.
In two tweets, both of which have since been deleted, Progress Kentucky accused McConnell of being gay, including calling the Senate’s top Republican “a gay-bashing gay senator.”
Both tweets link to a PRNewswire release from blogger Mike Rogers, who has long sought to try and out Republican members of Congress. While one of the tweets simply retweeted the release, a second tweet read “Is @McConnellPress a gay-bashing gay senator?”
Progress Kentucky has also inserted race into McConnell’s Senate reelection, using twitter to accuse the Republican of favoring Chinese companies because his wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, is of Taiwanese decent.
A screen grab of the tweets is below:

So you’re now covering offensive things local “group”s & bloggers tweet? You’re going to need a much bigger staff if that’s really the new standard here, considering the daily tide of bigoted bilge that rises out of the far reaching RW-blogosphere and thousands of local tea party “group”s. Here, I’ll help you out. Write up something on the chairwoman of the Yellowstone County Republicans & tea party organizer, Jennifer Olsen, and her ‘watermelon trap’, facebook post. Or maybe write something up on the spectacularly offensive thing Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman said today about AIPAC. Or what Gun Owners of America president Larry Pratt just said about his fantasy of an armed race war. Or John Guandolo and Rick Wiles most recently aired, off-the-wall, anti-Muslim conspiracy theories about the administration.
