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.

SELECTIVE OUTRAGE???? She takes her SON to see DRAG QUEENS!! horrible parent!!

They’re everywhere. Say what you will about Joe McCarthy, but he was really on to something.
retired professional soccer player
....is unacceptable.
Why not adopt the Metric System at the same time? Then we can drink tea and eat cheese and the Europeanization of America will be complete.
the GRAND Marshall takes her son to see DRAG QUEENS!!
Lee Harvey Oswald served in the marines too but I don’t think he’d make a good grand marshal for 4th of July parade
Is THAT the Grand Marshall??? OMG!!!!
Independence from tyranny. Dependence on God alone. That’s what this holiday’s about.
AMEN!! Thank You, JESSE KELLY!!
“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.”
Over the years they infiltrated the military because they were constantly hammered for their “lack of service”.
Look at kinzinger, ducksh*t, lamb, murtha, cleland, kerry, etc, etc who have wrapped themselves up in the flag while doing everything they could to destroy this country.
Took her son to Vegas to meet a drag queen?
If you ask me, she[?] is one sick ans twisted person.
“Threats to Carter and/or her son are bullshit and I hope those making them are prosecuted.”
I doubt there are any threats.
This is just another tactic in the leftist playbook to deflect criticism.
Yep..... Tats and all.
Yep, it’s a sick-ass.
IIRC, he eventually got kicked out of the military.
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.

Yeah, that all sounds quite normal. What mom hasn’t surprised her son with a trip to Vegas to meet drag queens.
They’re talking about Friendswood, TX. It’s a Houston suburb, not far from the space center.
People still speak of him as a villain as if the Venona Papers never happened.
That just SCREAMS “dyke, dyke,” doesn’t it? What a disgusting piece of trash.
