Phil Robertson: 'Rid The Earth Of' Gay Marriage Supporters

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 2/1/2016 10:20 am

While stumping in Iowa for Ted Cruz on Sunday, “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson declared that gay marriage is a sign of growing “depravity” and “perversion” in America. Robertson, notorious for his racist and anti-gay remarks, said of marriage equality: “It is evil, it’s wicked, it’s sinful and they want us to swallow it.” “We have to run this bunch out of Washington D.C.,” Robertson said. “We have to rid the earth of them. Get them out of there.” Cruz followed Robertson on stage, calling the reality TV star “a joyful, cheerful, unapologetic voice of truth.”

Rid the earth of WHO? People who are in favor of due human rights? People who support Constitutionally-backed legal precedents?

Let's see - law of the land, or grown adults who think an imaginary friend is simultaneously going to make their lives better and smite all of the "sinners"?

Case in point: the use of the phrase "swallow it". What are they trying to tell us?
