Marty O'Donnell, the Trump-backed Republican nominee in a competitive congressional race, has described LGBTQ+ people as part of an alliance pushing Western civilization toward an "abyss."

O'Donnell, a video game composer best known for his work on the Halo and Destiny franchises, made the remarks during a June 29 interview, weeks after winning the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Susie Lee in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District.

"Talk about an existential, existential threat," O'Donnell said. "We are on the cliff looking down into the abyss. And the abyss is Marxism, its anti-Western philosophy."

Is this supposed to be a problem? Citizens are not allowed to have an opinion? Seems anti-American to me...

Marty O’Donnell! Wow. Blast from the past. I played the original Halo and the and his music for the game was really really high quality work. Had no idea he was in politics now. He’s totally correct on this. Hope he wins.

I don’t usually donate to out-of-state races but I’ll definitely be sending him a few bucks.

According the the homo-left, O'Donnell is speaking high blasphemy and must be stoned for it.

Remember, "if you want to find out who rules over you, learn who you are not allowed to criticize."

We’re not up against Marxism. We are up against Bureaucratic State Capitalism. Marx would have opposed the DSA on principle, maybe.

Vilifying gays is not a winning strategy. It’s a feel-good raw-meat stand that accomplishes nothing. And I’m straight and Christian, so spare me the lectures.

My sons loved Halo. Be interesting to tell my TDS afflicted sons about this Trump endorsed Halo video game programmer.

My sons played extensively the original Halo. They went to a bunch of games played in other states. My eldest was ranked very high in the game.
