Fox News host suggests gay Get Equal is against “black man” Obama, and potentially violent? [video]
”But I wonder, couldn’t this heckling be a precursor to violent extremism? And could this agitation toward our president, said to be based on policy, really be thinly veiled racism? I mean, the president did say he agreed with this gay group and yet they still heckled. Perhaps the members of Get Equal should look in the mirror and ask themselves why they’re so uncomfortable with a black man in the Oval Office.”
