Massachusetts: GOP State Senate Candidate Ted Busiek LIkes To Use The Word “Faggots”

Ted Busiek

Raw Story has the details on current Republican Massachusetts state Senate candidate Ted Busiek, who recently praised Donald Trump for “putting self-righteous faggots in their place.”

Oh – but Busiek didn’t mean “faggot” as a slur, however that works.

MSNBC’s All In With Chris Hayes pointed out during a broadcast last week that Trump had complained to the Native American affairs subcommittee in 1993 that some reservations did not deserve to receive gaming licenses because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”

Ted Busiek, who is running for Massachusetts Senate, responded on Saturday by lauding Trump’s remarks.

“DONALD TRUMP. Putting self-righteous faggots in their place since 1993. How I love this fellow,” he wrote.

Busiek later insisted to State House News Service that he did not use the word “faggot” in a “hateful sense.” The candidate said that term was used to show that the congressman questioning Trump was “obnoxious” and “kind of being a jerk.”

“It’s hard for me to get exercised over naughty words,” he explained. “You can insult somebody without being hateful.”

Busiek, who opposes same-sex marriage and adoption rights, said that he was standing up for “anybody who works for a living,” especially those who had “oppressor status” for being white, male and wealthy.

Hillary Clinton Campaign Responds To FBI Announcement On Email Investigation

"We are pleased that the career officials handling this case have determined that no further action by the department is appropriate. As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again. We are glad that this matter is now resolved."

Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesman Brian Fallon issued this statement in response to the announcement today by FBI Director James Comey that he would not recommend any charges against the former secretary of state in the investigation into her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.

“We are pleased that the career officials handling this case have determined that no further action by the Department is appropriate,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement. “As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again. We are glad that this matter is now resolved.”

FBI Announces “No Charges Are Appropriate” In Clinton Email Investigation

From the New York Times:

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, on Tuesday said the F.B.I. is recommending no charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a personal email server while secretary of state.

Mr. Comey said “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case against Mrs. Clinton for her handling of classified information on her private server. But he said Mrs. Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless” in their use of email.

The F.B.I.’s recommendation to the Justice Department will have an enormous impact on the presidential election.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Friday that she would accept whatever recommendation she received from the F.B.I.

The statement by Mr. Comey concluded an investigation that began a year ago when the inspector general for the intelligence agencies told the Justice Department that he had found classified information among a small sampling of emails Mrs. Clinton had sent and received.

The inspector general, I. Charles McCullough III, said the emails contained information that was classified at the time they were sent but were not marked classified, and the information should never have been sent on an unclassified system.

“No intentional misconduct.”

For months it has been obvious: if Hillary was charged over her use of a private email server her haters would point and say how surprised that the FBI did a great job.

If she was not, they would still scream that she is guilty and that the system was rigged in her favor.

In regard to those that hate her, there was never going to be a way for her to “win.”

Here’s the full press conference:

Orlando Gay Chorus Peforms Emotional “You’ll Never Walk Alone”

Denver hosted the Gala Choruses Festival this past weekend, where the Orlando Gay Chorus delivered an emotional “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from the Broadway musical Carousel.

Halfway through the song, the conductor turned to the audience and encouraged them to stand and sing along. The result of the unified voices raised in song is as impactful as you would imagine.
