Donald Trump is the Twitter candidate, so it shouldn t be a surprise that one of his supporters got himself into hot water with a recent tweet. That supporter is a candidate for Massachusetts state Senate and in it, he praised Trump for  putting self-righteous faggots in their place. Ted Busiek, who wants to eliminate affordable housing, same-sex adoptions and daylight savings time, denied that this tweet was hateful:DONALD TRUMP. Putting self-righteous faggots in their place since 1993. How I love this fellow.#MAGA https://t.co/wqCxfa4pI2  Ted Busiek (@TedBusiek) July 2, 2016Instead, he insisted, it was a reference to the way Trump, in 1993, insulted Native Americans: If you look at some of the reservations that you ve approved . . . they don t look like Indians to me. And they don t look like Indians to Indians. And a lot of people are laughing at it,  Trump said in the remarks dated 1993, apparently shocking the congressman questioning him, who likened the remarks to historical racism. Trump said,  Only Indians can have the gaming . . . Why are you being discriminatory? Why is it that the Indians don t pay tax, but everybody else does. I do. Busiek told the News Service he didn t intend the term in a  hateful sense  or to imply that the congressman was gay, using the word instead to mean the congressman was  obnoxious  and was  kind of being a jerk.

I already mentioned that he s against same-sex adoptions, and of course, he s against same-sex marriage. He, like many Trump supporters, is also concerned about losing his rank as a white man on the (excuse the pun) totem pole.Claiming a  cultural rift  exists between State House politicians and a sizable section of the Bay State s population, Busiek told the News Service he spoke for  anybody who works for a living,  and those who find themselves  under attack  for their  oppressor status  as white, male and successful. I think there s a great amount of jealousy involved,  Busiek said of so-called  social justice warriors,  who attack real and perceived racial and gender sleights.Asked if he was a social justice warrior for successful white men, Busiek said,  That s a good way to sort of turn it on its head. Maybe I m engaging in identity politics, too,  Busiek said, though he said he disagrees with that point of view because, he said, identity politics is contingent on being  born into a victim class. If Busiek s tweet proves anything, it s that Trump is merely a mirror reflecting the bigotry of his supporters. Trump is a truly horrible human being, who insults women and basically every minority, but he says very little about LGBT people. If anything, he s been historically supportive. Of course, that s not to say Trump won t tweet something ugly about gay people today. After all, he s all about pleasing his supporters.Featured image via Ted Busiek s Facebook page.
