Wow. Ellen Page stopped by Colbert and ripped the president and vice president a new asshole for facilitating hate against LGBTQ people. Good for her for using her voice! She was not fucking around.
“Sorry, I’m like really fired up tonight. But it feels impossible to not feel this way right now, with the president and the vice president, Mike Pence, who, like, wishes I couldn’t be married. Let’s just be clear: The vice president of America wishes I didn’t have the love with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana, he believes in ‘conversion therapy,’ he has hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the [governor] of Indiana.”
Added Page:
“Connect the dots. This is what happens. If you are in a position of power and you hate people, and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering, what do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused and they’re gonna kill themselves, and people are going to be beaten on the street. I have traveled the world and I have met the most marginalized people you can meet. I am lucky to have this time and the privilege to say this. This needs to f**king stop.”
Check out what she had to say above!
So what do we say now? Funny ppl can jump on a situation until it doesn’t fit their narrative. So should we blame all of the left for this guy lying? He is what’s wrong with relationships between both sides.
Perhaps Page should wait until we are sure there was an attack and not just an accusation. There has been a huge increase of bias attacks being proven to have been hoaxes. This story of Smollett’s is unraveling like Tawana Brawley’s. Now Smollett is refusing to turn over his phone to prove his claim that he was on the phone when he was attacked. He has given different accounts of the incident. Despite there being lots of security cameras none have footage of the attack.
Here’s a novel idea, let’s not jump to conviction until all the facts are in.
Look at my surprise that a false flag-er appears to be having a meltdown in a comments section.
Just. Utterly. Shocking.
To Jerry: What?! The attackers were wearing red MAGA hats and yelling “This is MAGA country!” And you’re saying this had nothing to do with Trump?!
Jerry, Donald did not say that Trump TOLD those guys to beat up Smollett, he is saying that Trump and Pence have made their hatred of gays acceptable. Sure those idiots are adults and can make up their own minds. Unfortunately, those idiots are cowards and followers and wouldn’t know what to do with a true thought. Bigots are bigots and Trump/Pence are leading the pack in stupidity and bigotry.
The Smollett story sounds contrived. What racist homophobes carry bleach and a noose with them at all times hoping they will eventually run into a third tier character on a low rated TV drama?
This smells like a bogus, staged event like churches being burned or swastikas being painted on synagogues or Tawana Brawley being “raped”. We’ll find out eventually but no one will print the story because it won’t fit the paradigm.
BOTH are an abomination to Oval Office and the White House Period! The guy in the Oval Office
has caused all the problems we have now in America! Yes I am aware that we had some of the problems before he was ….. hmm elected…. But since he started its WORSE! He has instigated such hateful actions, that we never had before from a leader of this great nation! As for the other guy pence and the bill he want to pass in the state of Indiana concerning gay marriages is as ludicrous as he is. Both of these guys are not worth mentioning the titles of office they hold!
To bad the security personnel at the White House can’t just bodily pick them up and take them
to Pennsylvania Avenue and drop them in the gutter!
This is just my own personal opinion!! I know it’s sounds stupid! lololol
You cannot blame anyone’s actions on Trump. These are adult men or women that allegedly did this horrible act. Just because you simply hate the current sitting President, you can’t blame him for these cowarly acts. He (Trump) did not tell these idiots to attack Mr. Smollett. This was a random act of violence on an individual walking the streets of Chicago. Let’s get all the facts, before you go passing judgement. Chicago is basically a democratic state where they usually vote Democratic. Did you ever ask yourself, Hmmm, did these guys know the victim? What was he doing out at that time of night? Descriptions, interviews, witnesses, cameras??? Get it?? I did not vote for Trump, and I certainly don’t like some of the things he’s said or done, but I would never blame him, nor anyone else for someone else’s stupidity. Let the police do their work and hope everyone that has jumped to judgement is just as fast to jump in with apologies on National TV in the event the police find the real cause.
You are being way too reasonable. This is an opportunity to blame Trump for something that was more likely to happen during Obama’s tenure and you are going to squander it!!!
How many LGTB flags were waived at Obama rallies or Clinton rallies (you know, marriage is between a man and a woman and his other women)? Trump was the first president to accept gay marriage while running rather than waiting for a drunken joe biden to force him out of the closet.
I’m not a huge fan of Trump’s but I see the rest of the democrats as football players willing to accept a blowjob in the empty locker room before they later condemn you on the weekend to Jesus, Yahweh, or Allah.
“Oh, it’s so much worse for gay people in 2019 than 2009 or 1992.” NOT!!
What kind of question is: What was he doing out that time of night? It’s very easy to give Trump a pass when his irresponsible behavior doesn’t affect you.
