GLAAD Slaps Openly Gay Ambassador for Criticizing 2020 Democratic Candidate

As I mentioned earlier, US Ambassador to Germany and openly gay man, Richard Grenell, spoke out against 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg’s attacks on Vice President Mike Pence.

Those are strong words, to be sure.

According to Daily Wire:

Grenell made the remarks Thursday night on Fox News’ “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” where he also defended the character of both Mike and Karen Pence.

“Mayor Pete has been pushing this hate hoax along the lines of Jussie Smollett for a very long time now, several weeks, and I find it really ironic that Mayor Pete stayed silent about this so-called hate hoax on him and others during 2015, 2016, 2017 when Mike Pence was governor,” Grenell said. “There was total silence. It’s ironic that right about now when he’s starting his fundraising apparatus to run for president that he comes up with this idea and this attack.”

“One of the things that really bothers me about this attack is that Mike Pence is a friend of mine. Mike and Karen are great people. They are godly people. They’re followers of Christ. They don’t have hate in their heart for anyone. They know my partner, they have accepted us. You ask me do we agree philosophically on every single issue? No,” Grenelle added.

And as I said then,  they don’t HAVE to.

Since when is it necessary to agree with someone on EVERYTHING to be able to have respect for them?

Well, apparently GLAAD is all about giving gays in America a voice – unless of course, they disagree with them.

A sitting ambassador shouldn’t be going on TV to attack a Presidential candidate, @RichardGrenell https://t.co/FCscMPoNBq

And why is that, GLAAD? Why exactly should an Ambassador keep his mouth shut when he sees something he disagrees with?

I thought you were all about giving people a voice?

Why should Ambassador Grenell be voiceless?

Ambassador Grenell has responded:

Odd that GLAAD wants to silence gays they don’t agree with. Are we all supposed to think the same?#realdiversity https://t.co/j3W57A6hRd

So “odd.”

And yes – apparently your “gay card” has been revoked for daring stand up for what you think is right, Richard. Sorry ’bout that.
