9:55Now PlayingThe conservative right believes that the Pulse nightclub shooting will provide an opportunity for them to drive a wedge between the Democratic party and the LGBTQ community. Will they be able to successfully exploit this tragedy? John Iadarola (ThinkTank), Jimmy Dore, Wes Clark Jr., and Michael Wood Jr., hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The same Republicans who have argued that gay couples should not be allowed to marry, that LGBT Americans don't need federal anti-discrimination protections and that trans people should not use the bathroom that matches their identity are now claiming that they -- not Democrats -- are the party on the LGBT community's side.
Their reasoning? That somehow, in the wake of the Orlando shooting at a gay night club that left 49 people dead, there's now a mutually exclusive choice between supporting Muslims and protecting gay people, and Democrats have chosen the former.
The unlovely premise of that rationale is that all Muslims are terrorists, as one Republican congressman has baldly stated.
"Democrats are in a perplexing position. On the one hand, they’re trying to appeal to the gay community, but, on the other hand, they’re trying to also appeal to the Muslim community, which, if it had its way, would kill every homosexual in the United States of America,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said on a radio show Thursday.”*
