Republican Congressman: Don’t Worry, God Will End Climate Change, Oh, and We’ll End Gay People

Another example, climate denial strongly linked with homophobia, and, as I’ve posted before, misogyny and racism.

Salon:

In a little-noticed October speech in Uganda, Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., urged that nation to stand behind its new Anti-Homosexuality Act, which includes the death penalty.

Walberg’s remarks came at Uganda’s National Prayer Breakfast. His trip to attend the event was paid for by the secretive U.S. group behind the National Prayer Breakfast, congressional filings show.

As the keynote speaker of the Entebbe event, Walberg advised Uganda to “stand firm” on the new law. Walberg can be seen in video of the event listening to, endorsing and associating himself with the remarks of other speakers. Speakers called LGBTQ+ advocates “a force from the bottom of hell” and urged government officials to adopt “Christocracy” over democracy.

Walberg explicitly encouraged Uganda’s leaders to resist opposition to the law from the U.S., the U.N. and other global institutions. His audience included President Yoweri Museveni, who signed the Anti-Homosexuality Act into law in May.

Walberg makes a remarkable statement about how he views his congressional seat as a “Ministry”, and makes it clear that the laws and government of the United States are a secondary, incidental concern to him.

Meanwhile, another Republican, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, kept it real at the US Prayer breakfast, a few months ago, in case you missed it.
