A Florida state representative expressed how much his political party hates gay people while urging his colleagues to vote in favor of a bill urging Congress to “restore” the military’s “warfighting ethos” and rid it of “woke social engineering and experimentation practices.”
On Monday, Republican Rep. Jeff Holcomb spoke in Florida’s house, but his remarks drew gasps and disturbed looks from some lawmakers.
“Isis, the Taliban, and Al-Qaeda, those are the folks who discriminate. We bombed a building in 2017 like we never usually do. We bombed it because they threw homosexuals off that building,” Holcomb said.
He then said out loud what many are saying was the quiet part.
“Our terrorist enemies hate homosexuals more than we do,” the Republican legislator said.
As Holcomb made the stunning admission, the chamber filled with gasps and rumbles.
State Rep. Kelly Skidmore, a Democrat seated behind Holcomb as he spoke, recoiled, her disgust visible on her face.
“They’re the ones who discriminate our job in the military, our Navy Creed. ‘I’m committed to excellence and fair treatment of all.’ That’s what we learn in boot camp. That’s what we drill into ourselves each and every day,” Holcomb concluded.
