Look at this guy… Here we are living in a world where the same media that destroyed a rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask is okay with this. Yes, the same media that spent months vilifying the GOP and then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney…

Rep. Andy Ogles made a social media post Tuesday saying “homosexuality has no place in America,” and then deleted it after drawing criticism from at least one fellow House Republican.

Yet critics from the Conservative Party said there were some glaring omissions in the…
