In a recent interview, Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D-Krypton) admirably replied to homosexual rumors by way of refusing to simply accept the premise that such rumors are harmful, which prompted Republican challenger Steve Lonegan (Snowball- Hell) to make Gov. Chris Christie‘s (R-NJ) endorsement of him that rather more embarrassing for the 2016 hopeful by using telling Newsmax‘s Steve Malzberg that Booker’s reaction to the rumors used to be “kind of bizarre” as a result of “As a man, I individually like being a guy.”

Lonegan has already had to maintain a super-racist tweet that was despatched through his marketing campaign, which Lonegan insisted was once no longer racist, even though his marketing campaign deleted it. Now, Lonegan has not only slammed Booker’s über-stylish response to the homosexual rumors and professed his perception that gay men usually are not “guys,” he has additionally ham-fistedly tried to gas these rumors via telling Malzberg “I don’t recognize should you saw the tales closing yr. They’ve been out for rather a little bit about how he likes to go out at three o’clock in the morning for a nail filing and a pedicure.”

“Do you think he’s gay?” Malzberg asks.

“I don’t recognize,” Lonegan replies, and later delivered that the manicures and pedicures were “described as his unusual fetish,” including that “I’ve a more strange fetish: I love a just right Scotch and a cigar, that’s my fetish. But we’ll just examine the two.”

I’ve by no means tried that one, nevertheless it sounds love it would sting something horrific.

As laudable as it used to be, Mayor Booker’s full response in reality didn’t leave a lot doubt in any respect. Even though he said he welcomed opportunities to problem homophobia, he prefaced that question by means of explaining that he keeps his dating life non-public “Because how unfair is it to a young girl to put them in the spotlight in the event that they haven’t signed up for that yet?”

Lonegan’s efficiency is baffling, given his ambitions. This sort of lack of awareness would possibly play smartly with a shrinking segment of the national Republican citizens, but in a blue state like New Jersey, in a distinct election that he’ll certainly lose, all Lonegan is doing is hanging his stink on other Republicans.
