In an appearance on “Watters’ World” on Fox News on Saturday, Rob Smith — a gay, African-American Army veteran — talked about why he decided to leave the Democrats and how coming out as a Republican was more tumultuous for him than coming out as gay.
“I didn’t lose friends when I came out as gay. I’ve lost friends since coming out as Republican,” Smith told Watters.
“People do not understand it and these are the… left, that’s supposed to be so tolerant and inclusive. These are the people who were the first to shun me when I came out as conservative.”
“I have been called everything but child of God,” he added.
“They call you a sellout and an ‘Uncle Tom.’ But why can’t I have different ideas? Why can’t I be free thinking? Why can’t I have a victor mentality?”
As for why he left, Smith says it was because of the party’s lies around what it was telling African-Americans. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]President Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski warned on Sunday that the country will “go backwards” if Democrats win back the House during the 2018 midterm elections.

Joseph Crowley. – READ MORE
