Ellen Page Slams Trump Administration’s Anti-LGBTQ Policies in Emotional Speech (tr)
Variety ^ | February 1, 2019 | ERIN NYREN

Posted on 02/01/2019 8:34:39 AM PST by EdnaMode

As the aftermath of the Jussie Smollett attack continues to unfold, Ellen Page gave an impassioned speech on “The Late Show” blasting President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for their anti-LGBTQ policies and emphasizing how those policies affect the experiences of marginalized people.

“Connect the dots, this is what happens,” she said, referring to Smollett’s attack while holding back tears. “If you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering — what do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused, and they’re going to kill themselves and people are going to be beaten on the street.”

She's upset over a fake hate crime. Trump has done nothing to hurt gays.

Can she point to the specific policies which have her so upset?

Didn't think so.

Good Lord. It seems to be the fashion to make outrageous over-the-top statements that everybody is going to be murdered personally by Trump. All her friends will cry out “So brave!”. This is a kind of bondage porn.

A young actress who once had a hot career that now seems to be stalling.

“If you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them,


She demonstrates the false narrative often pushed by the liberals, which is that you allegedly “hate” someone if you aren’t on board with all the liberal ideology for that group.

Is there any evidence that Trump and Mike Pence hate homosexuals??? And it’s a good question to ask, what policies are hateful???

What evidence is there, that they want to cause suffering to a homosexual??

She’s basically full of it, let’s face it. But she and her ilk get a platform on these inane “comedy” shows, which only allow for comedy directed at conservatives or people of faith.

She is confusing hate with not praising them. When she accuses Pence of hate, she is really saying the Bible is a book of Hate. It’s the opposite.

I don’t even understand what she’s babbling about. How is this Trump’s fault? I think she “jumped the shark” on this one.

She looks pretty much exactly like Janeane Garofalo did in 1993.

If you truly hated someone, you would want them to lead a homosexual lifestyle.

We should be so lucky to live in a country where people pay close enough attention to connect such dots. Instead, what we have are hoax victims on the left who always get attacked by criminals who supernaturally know their political and sexual orientation which they reference in the attack.

never heard of her, and don’t care what kind of tantrum she throws. There are a lot of people who deserve to be marginalized, and she sounds like she is one of them.

Of course, this will never be acknowledged by the degenerates.
