Meshawn Maddock, the co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, took a homophobic swipe at Transportation Secretary and first openly gay Cabinet member Pete Buttigieg via Twitter on Sunday.
Meshawn? More like Mestupid, eh? Eh?
“weak little girl”
he sez, and you focus on the homophobia, but skip the misogyny? Really?
SECOND!!
This action represents the unfiltered Republican Party that has always existed but was cloaked by a veneer of human decency. The gloves are off. Recognize the frauds for what they are, complete hypocrites. Do not forget their words, do not forget their actions, and never forgive. Let’s work for an honest election and use the real majority to push the Grand Old Party to the historical trashcan. Then we can collective start solving our real problems and create a better future for our children going forward.
Meshawn is a woman, still doesn’t absolve her of homophobia.
Someone needs to tell these pusillanimous little fascists that their biggest sugar daddy, Nazi Peter Thiel, is, like Buttigieg, a gay man with a husband.
All Republicans have to offer is hate, anger, ignorance, and fear. That’s it.

If you have ever wondered what an “UltraMAGA” is - here’s an example
apparently they feel justified in scoping out anyone and everyone who has a way of living that they object to - and the just launch an ugly assault .
WHAT A PSYCHO!!!
Cannot have said this better. They are quite ugly in their behavior against others…until they themselves need assistance, understanding and compassion.
What they have not faced is that the future we all share would be much worse if their Party has a significant role in governance.
When I was in high school in the mid-70’s I had a gay classmate. Someone took a photo of him moving a refrigerator down the street for a neighbor. It was on his back. I learned at an early age that being gay has nothing to do with physical strength. Perhaps this idiot needs some education, too.
Dude’s definitely from Flint. Clear case of long-term lead poisoning.
I will say this: Buttigieg has consistently impressed me since taking office and I consider him a serious contender for POTUS in the future…very much more so than his first ill-advised attempt.
Cretin mocks wise man with stupid taunt, feels smart.
She is cementing the image of the MICHIGAN GOP as PARTY OF HOMOPHOBIA !
gotten herself lots of publicity …
I saw him in an interview setting a while back and he was quite impressive. I am happy that he is at the helm at Transportation.
She also seems not to know, or care, that Ford and Chevy have already or are in the process of retooling Michigan plants to build those cars (and trucks) that’ll be heading to California. But never mind economic boons to one’s home state–there’re Culture War points to score!
But you’re both okay with the misogyny? Okay…
His appearance on Wait, Wait–Don’t Tell Me a few years back is well worth the search. I’d look for it myself, except that I have places to go now, people to see.
“We’re so blessed this weak little girl moved to Michigan!” Maddock tweeted with a video clip of Buttigieg discussing California’s new law banning gas cars by 2035. “Looks like he’s bringing all his California Dreaming here with him.”
Such a class act, these reactionaries. I have to presume their next piece will be an enactment Michael O’Donoghue’s rendition of “The Aristocrats.”
Her ilk are well aware of the corporate plans - and they are furious - they name call the “board room geeks” for following this strategic direction and scream that they are
“betrayers of the American Internal Combustion Engine Heritage” -
and they insist that these company leaders should be thrown out on their ass!
