getmisch(R) state candidate, CT:
“If you're a sodomite, you should get the #DeathPenalty. Simple as that.”
Doubling-down on a swinging noose GIF he posted in response to the end of #MarriageEquality - "The #Bible has a better idea" meaning public #executions.
He refused to step down after CT #GOP asked him, so he's being primaried.
