Evangelist Calls On Mayor Pete Buttigieg To ‘Repent’ For Being Gay, Twitterverse Claps Back

Franklin Graham

Hypocrisy much?

Evangelist Franklin Graham tweeted on Wednesday an attack on Democratic White House hopeful Mayor Pete Buttigieg for being gay and being in a same-sex marriage.

Graham took Buttigieg to task for being openly gay which the evangelist said was something the South Bend mayor should “be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised, or politicized.”

“The Bible says marriage is between a man & a woman—not two men, not two women,” added Graham. “The core of the Christian faith is believing and following Jesus Christ, who God sent to be the Savior of the world—to save us from sin, to save us from hell, to save us from eternal damnation.”

Graham has also called Melania Trump, who worked as a (sometimes nude) model in her time before the White House, as the “classiest First Lady our country has ever had.”

Buttigieg, who is a practicing Episcopalian, has been open about his religious beliefs. At a CNN town hall on Monday, he told the crowd he’s a proud gay Christian and feels that “God doesn’t have a political party.”

Buttigieg has also called out evangelical leaders who spew anti-LGBTQ policies.

During an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, he said “I don’t have a problem with religion, I’m religious, too.”

He quickly added, “I have a problem with religion being used as justification to harm people.”

The 37-year-old has also pointed out the hypocrisy of evangelicals who have turned a blind eye to Donald Trump’s multitudinous lies and his alleged affair with porn star, Stormy Daniels.

Buttigieg isn’t the only one who sees hypocrisy in action.

The Twitterverse was quick to respond to Graham.

Meme Of The Day: Trump Says He Is “A Young Vibrant Man”

In a reaction to the announcement by former Vice President Joe Biden that he will run for president in 2020, Donald Trump offered a backhanded (and questionable) comment about his own, and Biden’s, current physical conditions.

“Well, I just feel like a young man. I’m so young. I can’t believe it. I’m the youngest person — I am a young vibrant man. I look at Joe, I don’t know about him.”

Hugh Hewitt: “2020 Election Isn’t Going To Be Close”

In an op-ed for the Washington Post, conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt foresees a different 2020 presidential election than most liberal voters have in mind:

In an op-ed for the Washington Post, conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt foresees a different 2020 presidential election than most liberal voters have in mind:

The 2020 election isn’t going to be close. This will come as news to #Resistance liberals, who are certain Trump will lose, because they dislike him so much.

They still haven’t figured out that 40 percent of the country love him and at least another 10 percent are very much committed to considering the alternative in comparison to Trump, not reflexively voting against him. That decile is doing very well in this economy.

Unemployment remains incredibly low. The markets are soaring. That’s not a given for the fall of 2020, but better to be soaring than falling 18 months out.

Hewitt is correct, to a degree.

While I’m immersed in politics on a daily basis, it’s important to note most Americans are not. They experience politics in terms of jobs, income and a healthy economy.

But, Hewitt’s crystal ball isn’t always accurate.

After just a year, his MSNBC show was cancelled in July 2018.

So, there you go…

Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino packed the house in Las Vegas last night as he begins his five week stint as Celebrity Guest Host with the iconic men of Chippendales at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

Before the show, Vinny took to the red carpet to ‘strike a pose’ with the Chipps and give a taste of what’s to come.

Vinny unfortunately suffered a severe sprained ankle earlier in the week, but he took to the stage in a surprise appearance on Thursday night to let the crowd know he wasn’t letting that get in the way of putting on a show for the audience.

“Now, you may notice I’m walking with a little ‘gangster lean’ cause I went a little too hard beating up the beat last night, but it’s ok,” he told the crowd. “I’m still here to party with you guys.”

“And, my hands still work, so you know what that means…” he added as he slowly unzipped his hoodie to reveal his “Keto Guido” abs.

Guadagnino is the latest in a line of guest stars at Chippendales which has included international super-model Tyson Beckford, America’s Next Top Model & Dancing with the Stars champ Nyle DiMarco, 90210 & Sharknado star Ian Ziering, and Joey Lawrence, among others.

Vinny Guadagnino joins the Chippendales through May 26, 2019 (Friday through Sunday performances) at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

The box office reports that tickets are seriously going quick, so click your tix quick and get down to see Vinny G and the men of Chippendales.

Adam Schiff: The Way To Deal With Trump Is “Vote His Ass Out Of Office”

Rep. Adam Schiff

During an appearance on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff told Bill Maher that impeaching Donald Trump may not happen but there is an eventual solution, “vote his ass out of office.”

“I’m not there yet on impeachment. I may get there, he may get me there. But here’s the awful dilemma that we face: if we don’t impeach him, that sends a message that this kind of conduct, this obstruction of justice, this kind of willing use of the help of a foreign adversary, all the lies and cover up, that this is non-impeachable.

“At the same time, if we do impeach him and he is acquitted as he would likely be acquitted, then the message is ‘those are not impeachable offenses.’

“At the end of the day Bill, there is only one way to deal with this problem, whether we impeach him or not, and that is to vote his ass out of office.”

Schiff also shared the opinion of his 90-something father, about Trump, that “if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, he’s probably a crook.”

I agree with Schiff on all of the above.
