Riggleman, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, upset many Republicans in his district last summer when he officiated the wedding of two male campaign aides.

3. The uglier and nastier they are, the better the GOP voters love them. They are barbarians.

Show a shred of scientific knowledge, be smart, fair, educated and believe in equality, the GOP will hate you. They are just like the diabolical creatures of past. The GOP holds the US back so damn much.

Republicans are all Trump humpers at this point.
