What do you know? An important investor in the odious GAB social media site is a family-values guy from right here in North Carolina.
A Republican politician is an investor in Gab, the now-shuttered social media network used by the Pittsburgh synagogue gunman, DailyMail.com can disclose.
Dan Bishop, a state senator in North Carolina who is up for re-election next week, boasted in August 2017 that he had backed the site because he was ‘about done with SF [San Francisco] thought police tech giants.’
According to Right Wing Watch:
Thanks to his anti-LGBTQ efforts, Bishop is a favorite of Religious Right groups. In 2017 the North Carolina Family Policy Council presented him with its “Life & Liberty Award.” Bishop, the group said, stands “unwaveringly” for “the inherent dignity of every individual.” That same year, Concerned Women for America’s North Carolina chapter honored him as “Outstanding Legislator in Defense of Family Values.” The state director for CWA praised his “unwavering commitment to Biblical family values.”
This will not cost Bishop votes next Tuesday. This is the Southern Baptist south, y’all, and these people are just as mean and hypocritical and oozing piety as in the worst Grade-B movie you ever saw.
