A gay man named Oliver Sipple, a veteran, saved President Ford from an assassination attempt. He tried to stay out of the news as he was not “out” to his family. But Harvey Milt decided that he’d make the man famous because he was gay and he’d saved a Republican. Sipple’s family disowned him. He was so despondent that he committed suicide, sitting next to the framed thank you letter President Ford sent. Harvey Milt was a worthless POS who would happily destroy anybody for a moment in the news. He’s the worst kind of politician and should be a hero to nobody.
“Sipple’s mental and physical health sharply declined over the years. He drank heavily, gained weight to 300 lb (140 kg), was fitted with a pacemaker, and became paranoid and suicidal. The incident brought him so much attention that, later in life, while drinking, he would express regret towards grabbing Moore’s gun. Sipple, who was wounded in the head in Vietnam, was also diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic according to the coroner’s report.”
Sipple really got a raw deal. Not only because he never got recognition for saving a president’s life, and not only because Milk and the media slime were unwilling to respect his privacy, but also because, in all probability, no one ever told him in sincerity and empathy that he needed treatment for his same-sex attraction disorder.
