“How can we trust that the nation’s top law enforcement officer will protect all Americans when he’s willing to meet behind closed doors with a group that supports criminalizing homosexuality and marginalizing LGBT people around the world? The Alliance Defending Freedom has rightfully earned its designation as a hate group by demonizing LGBT people.

assholes in this administration, Beauregard is right at the top of the list. This subterfuge and behind-our-backs bullshit is getting old. I hope he has a Roossky boat anchor tied to his neck as well as the others.

or that his secret dope smoking boyfriend comes forward!
