Republican congressional candidate’s wildly homophobic fundraising blast accuses his enemies of being ‘sodomite predators’ and ‘LGBT groomers’

Republican congressional candidate’s wildly homophobic fundraising blast accuses his enemies of being ‘sodomite predators’ and ‘LGBT groomers’

US House hopeful Neil Kumar of Arkansas leaned into the nation’s culture wars hard on Thursday, seeding a fundraising appeal with homophobic attacks and apocalyptic imagery.

The “LBGT Groomers Want Your Kids” email blast is straight from the MAGA culture wars playbook, portraying public schools as “psychological torture camps,” pedophilia as the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and existing politicians — Democrats and Republicans, in this case — as part of a systemic problem. 

“Education has been replaced by the promotion of the depraved LGBT agenda, a Satanic attack on God and Nature,” Kumar wrote, adding that “sodomite predators are grooming, brainwashing, and mutilating our vulnerable children.” 

As for the term LGBT, which refers to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons, Kumar wrote: “I call it LGBTP — the P is for pedophilia.”
