How a gay hipster became a right-wing smearmeister

“Flat-out deranged.”

That’s how The Denver Post’s editorial board described 26-year-old libertarian politico Jonathan Lockwood’s comments last month about Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet’s vote in favor of the Iran deal.

Over the past months, the word deranged has appeared in The Denver Post to describe a select few people: the Aurora theater killer, the school shooter at Arapahoe High School and the white supremacist who massacred nine churchgoers in South Carolina.

Lockwood is the only person the paper has referred to as “deranged” this year who hasn’t killed somebody.

He has a rich dad and grew up in a privileged environment, as evidenced by the photo in article of him wearing tee shirt with "Stop Being Poor" printed on it.

As for him being gay, he's lucky he lives where he does. If he were in a "real" Rethug environment, he would risk the same fate as Matthew Shepherd. He is supporting some really monstrous assholes.

Obviously the little shit has no clue. . .
