Barnstable official criticized over Twitter poll asking if gay politicians are ‘too self-absorbed’ to be effective

An outspoken Republican member of the Barnstable County Commission who was imprisoned in 1991 for threatening to kill President George H.W. Bush is drawing a new round of criticism for a Twitter poll in which he asked whether gay politicians are too self-absorbed to be effective lawmakers.

Ronald Beaty Jr. is a strong supporter of President Trump who was elected to one of the commission’s three seats in 2016 and is scheduled to stay in office until 2021. Beaty, who frequently posts polls on his Twitter account, is under fire for one he posted Tuesday.

“Generally speaking, are gay politicians too self-absorbed and self-centered to adequately represent ALL of their constituents in a fair and equitable manner?’’ he posted.

3. Trump is the most self-absorbed politician in the history of the nation.

Should we ask if all straight, white, republican males are too self-absorbed to be effective?

Wait, maybe we should...
