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 scary part...?
"A recently retired CIA officer remarked to SOFREP that right now our counter-intelligence is so bad that we are only catching the dumb ones, the people stupid enough to out themselves on social media or who mail classified documents to news outlets, leading one to wonder how many more are out there that our government is completely unaware of."
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............NO!
I suspect that all of “she” titles repeated so deliberately hide a man-to-woman sex trans.
Sit on it and rotate, shitlibs.
Here’s some more on Haley. Looks like she was big in soccer. Also looka like a man.
Yep. Present events even vindicate him.
Who’s that guy?
good point!
At one time it was called. “Contributing to the delinquency of a minor.” By having said minor associating with an adult pervert. She should be arrested.
Next thing you know they try to make cricket the national sport.
He wasn’t a very good mole.
Jesse was correct!
“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.”
And the idiot author validates that this is 100% true.
Mean old right wing meanies disrupted their celebration of slavery and genocide /smirk
The writer did not make that the clear, unambiguos interpretation.
After re-reading it a couple of times, I caught that, but the last place mentioned in the text is Arizona, not Friendswood.
