By Bil Browning · Tuesday, August 15, 2017
Fox News pundit Star Parker is apparently not the brightest bulb in the pack. The Fox News pundit appeared on Fox and Friends this morning and made one whopper of a claim.
Asked about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosis comments about Donald Trumps reluctant denunciation of white supremacists after the weekends violent neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia, Parker compared white nationalists to LGBT people.
It shouldnt take the president of the United States two days to summon the basic decency to condemn murder and violence by Nazis and white supremacists, Pelosi said.
You know whats really interesting and really incredible irony here is the same people that are demanding that the Confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up, Parker replied. These two flags represent the exact same thing. That certain people groups are not welcome here. So if Nancy Pelosi wants to say that were going to start shutting down First Amendment rights of a certain group of people, then what happens the next time that the homosexuals want to walk through an American city and protest and counter protesters come out?
Thats right. A black pundit is claiming that the rainbow flag a symbol of inclusion and human rights is the same as the Confederate flag that symbolized slavery and white supremacy. Apparently she is also unaware that most pride parades draw religious conservatives who stand on the sidelines wishing death upon the community and shouting hate speech.

Fox news is doing a good job of having the dumbest tools in the shed. Watching pundits on CNN, I was worried that Fox would be hurting for "talent." I guess that "Star" Parker is filling the void.
