Hate Group Mouthpiece Warns Christians Will Be 'Marginalized' If Moore is Defeated
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
In her support of accused serial sexual predator Roy Moore, Sandy Rios of the anti-LGBTQ hate group American Family Association (AFA) pulled out all the stops on Thursday. Speaking to her radio audience, she blamed a gay conservative journalist, begged listeners to get over the "ick" factor, and claimed that Christian conservatives are a "marginalized" group.
Taking aim at conservative journalist Matt Drudge of the right-slanted aggregate site "The Drudge Report," Rios, who is AFA's government affairs director, claimed, "The reason Drudge is so dreadful toward Moore is because Matt Drudge is a homosexual."
As for news reports that Moore had a history of cruising teenage girls in an Alabama shopping mall while a thirty-something prosecutor in the 1980's, Rios said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please-I'm begging you, really-especially those of you in Alabama, not to stay home. Do not let the 'ick' factor set in because that's what the establishment in Washington wants," Rios said. "They want to cast enough taint on Judge Moore-and it will be somebody else next. Trust me."
But Rios saved her best irony for last. The woman who has made a career throwing stones at the LGBTQ community closed her act by claiming that conservative Christians like her will be "marginalized" if news of Moore's predatory past prevents him from taking national office.
"If they can destroy him, honestly, I don't think that Christian conservatives will have a chance. We will be so marginalized, and 'marginalized' probably doesn't even capture it. You can already see how hated we are," Rios said.
