    Archuleta himself, though, has a history of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. He previously blamed LGBTQ+ individuals for the Club Q shooting and said that queer people are “groomers” – or child sex abusers – a negative stereotype that has been used to justify hatred and discrimination.

    Shit gets shat on.

      yeah of all the things in the article, that bit was particularly unforgiveable. It’s stunning that this man expects his words to hold any weight with his own party if any of them already believe that kind of garbage.
