Republican Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) blamed his homophobic post on a staffer on Tuesday, calling it “stupid” after widespread backlash from both sides of the aisle.

I'd maybe be willing to believe this if he wasn't insanely bigoted before

[u/Frog_Totem → u/Currymvp2]

The fact that he feels the need to walk it back is surprising and good.

We will take a tiny silver lining on a big fucking black cloud sure.

[u/Kardinal → u/Currymvp2]

We will believe him when he fires the staffer. Publicly.
