Mitt Romney’s Sexist Spokesman Is Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

[witchcurlgirl]

Last week, we introduced you to Richard Grenell, the man who had just been hired as Mitt Romney's national security and foreign policy spokesman. We also introduced you to a variety of mean and often sexist tweets that Grenell had gone in and deleted from his Twitter account because they made him look like a total asshat. Well, the good news is that he abruptly resigned from his job today, so we won't have to contend with his sexist remarks and general incompetence.

The bad news, however, is that the reason Grenell stepped down is because he was under heavy attack from anti-gay GOP groups who had it out for him because he is openly gay. Not cool. Not cool, at all. Apparently his boss, Mitt Romney, responded to the nasty attacks on Grenell by essentially hiding him from public view. What a brave and courageous leader that Mittens is! This decision was understandably frustrating to Grenell, whose entire job was to be a public voice for the campaign. So, he said whatever the Republican equivalent of "peace out" is and decamped for less controversial (and probably more profitable) pastures.

I really am fucking confused by Gay Republicans... Just as much.as I am by Black Republicans

"Mittens." lol

Why anybody would work for Obama's admin or this guy's is beyond me. Neither of them support equality for the homos.

I am too, and yeah, usually this type(sexist, racist, etc) is in the closet and all-I hate it when 'out and openly' gay men display this kind of behavior.

Fucker needs to get some damn therapy or else STFU.

I don't get it either.....I want to bang my fucking head against the wall sometimes just thinking about this kind of shit. It just makes no sense to me...

And he's hot dammit.

And female Republicans...

Me too. And I am surrounded by fucktons of these here in MS. I think they've all lost their goddamned minds.

So this fucker: It's obviously ok for him to make sexist comments...no fears of forced resignation there. Not that it isn't fucked up and offensive that he'd have to resign over being gay (frankly, I think it would give the clueless Rethugs a major image boost if they didn't give a fuck about this). But no one gives a rat's ass if he's a sexist. That shit is cool obviously.

These fucking Republicans are just making themselves look worse and more extreme with everything they say and do. And even though they have a very vocal group of supporters....like my clueless, living-in-the-past southern peers and religious nut jobs everywhere (not just the south)...I think everyone else is getting tired of their bullshit.

You'd be surprised (well, I was) at how many gay men I've met who are total sexists though.
