Discussion: NC GOP Senator Behind Bathroom Bill Speaks Out About His Donation To Gab

Old tune:

Bishop announced on Twitter that he was ā€œabout done with SF thought police tech giants.ā€

New tune:

ā€œI donā€™t use Gab, but if its management allows its users to promote violence, anti-Semitism, and racism on the platform, they certainly have misled investors and they will be gone quickly, and rightfully so,ā€ he wrote.

Bishop sent out a tweet saying he only gave the site $500 via a crowdfunding effort.

Next up, itā€™s revealed that Bishop owns stock in the Daily Stormer and is shocked ā€” SHOCKED! ā€” to discover it is used to promote white-supremacist, anti-semitic, pro-Nazi views.

ā€œI thought it was a local Storm Lake, Iowa weekly newspaper,ā€ he said. ā€œIā€™m surprised Rep. Steve King recommended it so highly it to me.ā€

ā€œYeah, I donated to Mussoliniā€™s annual gala, but it wasnā€™t even enough to get me VIP seating. And nobody told me he was a dictator.ā€

He invested in the Gab thought police! Great job!

From the story: ā€œWithin minutes of the statementā€™s release, Bishop sent out a tweet saying he only gave the site $500 via a crowdfunding effort.ā€

That is damned rich!!! He is trying to rationalize and explain away his investment in a site that promoted white nationalism and anti-Semitism, by saying ā€˜it wasnā€™t that much!ā€™ Good God Almighty!!

What a big spender. He touts that heā€™s investing in a startup but only gives them $500 ? If that is his idea of ā€œinvestingā€, heā€™s a loser. That doesnā€™t even rate a complimentary coffee mugā€¦

Could it be that heā€™s so used to taking contributions in return for favoring donors that he doesnā€™t understand the difference between a donation and an investment in normal usage??? Odd.
