Reid Rasner, an openly gay Republican running for Wyoming's sole House seat, is spending the final stretch of the campaign on a project he didn't expect: suing members of his own party for defamation. On Friday morning, Rasner will settle one case against an Iowa man who called him a "pedophile" under several of his campaign's Facebook posts.

Being a pedo is a badge of honor in the orange chomo's GOP.

So, the GOP seems to be of the opinion that being gay is equivalent to pedophilia?

Why does ignorance seem to be so dominant in the GOP?

Gay Republican. I thought it was something of an oxymoron. A mythical being.

How STUPID can one be? I am asking all of you non-white Christian MAGA voters too. Yes you Mormons. Even you Catholics. Do you think because you have semblance of values that kind of relate to what they spew that they wanted anything but your vote?

Don't want to be called a pedophile? Don't associate with pedophiles (i.e., Republicans)
