Speaking to a gathering of right-wing Christian nationalists, Taylor used the opportunity to chastise Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for denouncing a recently enacted law in Uganda that imposes prison or the death penalty for “the offense of homosexuality.”
In response to Cruz’s criticism that Uganda’s law is “grotesque and an abomination,” Taylor cited “divine law” in defense of such draconian laws.
“Sen. Cruz seems to have forgotten that following British law, the American colonies imposed the death penalty for sodomy,” Taylor smugly proclaimed.
