Even for the left, this is pretty childish.
#MittRomney is on the plane with me. #gag

If you don’t know who (or what) Laverne Cox is, join the club.
When called out for childish rudeness, Cox claimed that *gag* is just a word gay people use to express surprise. As in, “I just won the lottery. *gag*”
Obviously, if Mitt Romney had been a solid “man-of-the-people” “champion-of-the-middle-class” Democrat like Al Gore or Hillary Clinton, he could have avoided the whole issue by flying on a private jet like they do.
Someone needs to tell it that gays don’t have gag reflexes
Yeah, when admonished on their attitude, they always claim that the obvious impression is not what they intended. Uh huh…sure…
These people simply don’t know how to handle contrary opinions.
Remember always, the Left is the party of inclusion and tolerance, as long as you’re not one of the groups they hate …
Craig — it’s projection, a manifestation of the Left’s delusions. All the things they accuse the Right of, they do, or are planning on doing. Notice that this trans had no problem complaining about being on a flight with Romney — and yet the same Lying Left would INSIST that it is the Right that is intolerant.
The Left simply cannot comprehend anyone not being as thin-skinned, sexist, racist, and full of petty hatred as they are, so they assume everyone else is like them.
I’m normally a fan of Ms. Cox. This, though…
Laverne needs to remember she’s chosen to be a public face of a demographic, not a political party. When she makes politically charged attacks or comments she’s also attacking people she claims to speak for.
I don’t know why she felt that any apology was needed at all.
She doesn’t like Romney and the damage he would do to my country. I certainly agree with her there.
It makes me sick to watch my country being transformed from the land I love into a corporate oligarchy filled with thoroughly propagandized “conservatives”.
Obama and the oligarchs are not conservative.
While Romney isn’t a conservative, I don’t see him as an oligarch.
BTW, if you voted for Obama, you have only yourself to blame for the state the country is in. Own it.
And I bet you will vote for Obama’s evil twin Hillary too, for more of the same.
But hey gay marriage and subsidized sex changes! And that is all you will get as you lose everything else.
Indeed. Those who think the country wouldn’t have been better off with Mr Romney as president simply haven’t been paying attention over the past 5.5 years. (And probably think that narcissists can’t do any real harm.)
