When the city of Friendswood, Texas, announced on Facebook that hometown hero Haley Carter would be the grand marshal for the town’s famed Fourth of July parade, the post was peppered with excited comments. Carter, who was in the Marines and is a retired professional soccer player, was just the type of person residents wanted to see lead the parade.
Then the right-wing culture warriors showed up.
Conservative radio host Jesse Kelly tweeted the same day that Friendswood had appointed a “gun-grabber” who is “into drag” and “trans activism” to lead the parade. Kelly is from Ohio, ran a failed congressional campaign in Arizona, and now hosts his radio show from nearby Houston. “Communists are in blood-red areas too,” he wrote.
Soon, excited Facebook comments were accompanied by screenshots of Kelly’s tweets about Carter, some of which included a picture of her young son. She began receiving threats.
On paper, Carter seems like the kind of person conservatives who claim to love the military would support.
She attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served two tours in Iraq after graduating in 2006.....
But Carter is also an outspoken supporter of gun reform in her home state of Texas. She serves as the chair of the Mayor’s Commission Against Gun Violence in Houston, and in the wake of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, she wrote a letter demanding Texas leaders act on gun reform. She also regularly takes her son to drag events and once surprised him with a trip to Las Vegas to meet his favorite drag queen.

The idiot is from Ohio, ran a political campaign in Arizona and lives in Texas. What the.....?
Yeah.
That's the person who launched the campaign against the grand marshal.
I love how the author believes Houston is “nearby” Arizona!
The HuffPo, looking at her military history, says she’s perfect on paper. By the same standard, so was Benedict Arnold. What’s their point?
Leftists are so tiresome with that sort of BS.
Exactly. If only this was the first time one side or the other played the, “I’m OUTRAGED!!!! I tell ya!” card.
The libs have it down so well half of our side doesn’t even notice it anymore.
“She also regularly takes her son to drag events and once surprised him with a trip to Las Vegas to meet his favorite drag queen.“
That’s some serious issues right there.

This is not someone who conservatives would or should support.
Whoa, she is a real sicko!
Funny when BLM literally shut down major highways effecting peoples liveli- hoods and business they were called “protestors” even though what they were doing is illegal:
Yet when the right just uses freedom of speech we are “warriors” and “activists”.
I’ve said for years the left is nothing if not hypocrites.
HuffPo? Please......
They say that like it’s a bad thing.
Ironic, too, because leftists HATE the military until a case like this comes along and they then LOVE the military because they can smear conservatives with it.
Yup, Leftists are always outraged when we treat them like they have treated us for decades.
Suck it up leftists. You’ve been pulling this crap for decades. Its time you had to eat some yourselves.
I surprised my son with a trip to Las Vegas to go to the Motor Speedway to watch NASCAR. Another time I surprised my son with a trip to NYC to watch the Yankees play.
I never once ever thought about taking him anywhere to “meet his favorite drag queen.”
I guess I’m hopelessly behind the times.
1) she is a gun grabber in Texas.
2) She takes her children to trans stripper clubs.
BOTH points disqualify her from representing normal people. The 2nd is the worst, it makes her into a child abuser.
~~This is less a culture war and more normal people saying, “NO!”
