Log Cabin Republicans Endorse Donald Trump Re-Election
BY JACOB OGLES
AUGUST 16 2019 7:15 AM EDT
The Log Cabin Republicans have endorsed President Trump’s re-election efforts, citing promises to the LGBTQ community that have actually not been accomplished.
“Since taking office, President Trump has followed through on many of his commitments to the United States, including taking bold actions that benefit the LGBTQ community,” wrote Robert Kabel, Log Cabin Republicans chairman in an Op-Ed published by The Washington Post.
The decision marked a sharp turn for the organization, which in 2016 declined to support Trump’s White House bid.
The organization at the time praised Trump as “perhaps the most pro-LGBT presidential nominee in the history of the Republican Party,” but withheld an endorsement because of then-candidate Trump showed inconsistency.
A list of judges he promised to draw from for court positions included many with anti-LGBTQ records, and of course, he chose Mike Pence, a politician with an anti-equality record as governor of Indiana and as a member of Congress, as his running mate.
