Fox News Guest: LGBT Pride Flag and Confederate Flag 'Represent the Exact Same Thing'
[Failed radio and TV host and GOP congressional candidate Star] Parker was brought on the show to offer support for President Donald Trump and his horrific, implicit support of white supremacism. And she did just that.
Fox News' Steve Doocy read a statement from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to Parker: "It shouldn't take the president of the United States two days to summon the basic decency to condemn murder and violence by Nazis and white supremacists."
Parker, who has espoused vile, anti-LGBT remarks, refuted Pelosi's comments, and made sure to throw in an attack on "homosexuals" for good measure.
"That is not what happened," she told Doocy, as Media Matters reports. "Nancy Pelosi is exploiting an opportunity that they think will play to their side. On Saturday, there were two sides that were in an American city that were -- then it was escalating very rapidly. No, the question became then, well, do you denounce the one part of it?"
"But you know what's really interesting and really incredible irony here is the same people that are demanding that the Confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up."
"These two flags represent the exact same thing," Parker said, as if there were any comparison between an icon of hate and oppression and an icon of love and inclusion. "That certain people groups are not welcome here. So if Nancy Pelosi wants to say that we're going to start shutting down First Amendment rights of a certain group of people, then what happens the next time that the homosexuals want to walk through an American city and protest and counter protesters come out?"
