Watch: Rachel Maddow destroys Huckabee, Cruz and Jindal for speaking at a horrifically homophobic event.

I keep thinking about this and it’s just…

It’s really fucking chilling and isolating when multiple serious candidates for president can get on stage and campaign with a guy quite literally and openly calling for the rounding up and execution of people based on their sexuality, and the fucking mainstream newspapers don’t even mention it.

Not even the goddamn ‘we’re-so-liberal!’ New York Times. Oh, the NYT is happy to squee over same-sex marriage and put up little links about ‘Share Your Story!’ for transgender people, but when it comes to calling out politicians attending rallies where the host is literally calling for the death of LGBT folks it’s crickets. Not one fucking word, when it should be the goddamn first story on the front page.

And that’s not even getting into the bisexual/pansexual erasure of the little coverage it has gotten. As if only gays and lesbians either exist or are at risk.
