Enough Already

This has got to stop.

First firebrand Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is accused of having sexual relationships with female staffers, and now there's rampant online speculation that right-wing pundit and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens is a lesbian.

Next you'll tell me that Melania Trump and Karoline Leavitt hooked up in the Situation Room.

Clearly No Lesbians Were Involved

Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power.

I just don't know how to feel about the accusations against Rep. Lauren Boebert that she had sexual relationships with three of her staffers, two of whom are female.

I mean, we already know the pillar of Christian MAGA virtue has stilettos of clay. I'll never forget the Colorado Republican getting tossed from a Denver production of "Beetlejuice" for, among other things, fondling her date.

Boebert's sledgehammer homophobia and transphobia would make Anita Bryant proud. This doesn't preclude the possibility that she muff dives on the side, but I for one find it hard to believe.

I do know this:  If Boebert is part of the queer community, we have got to raise our standards.

Um . . .
