Politician whose life was saved by lesbian police officer to speak at national anti-LGBT convention

Four months ago, Republican congressman Steve Scalise had his life saved by a heroic lesbian police officer.

Now, the House Majority Whip is set to speak on stage at a virulently homophobic hate group which has questioned if gay people should be executed.

When a shooter opened fire on Republicans who were practising for a charity baseball game in Washington DC, Crystal Griner ran towards the bullets, saving lives in the process.

people like him. He was given a golden opportunity to rethink his backward views on this topic and on gun control. But he doubles down instead. What's next--cutting reimbursements to health care providers like those who saved him?

Of course, Scalise will work to take away health care and benefits from those far less fortunate. He's a Congressional Republican. That's what they do. If his lords and master, the Koch brothers, told him to kill his children, his first question would be: "how much will you give me."

you, it will be the person who got off the prayer in time for Steve to be saved by Jesus. If only you had issued that prayer -- what? -- it was you who issued the prayer AND rescued Steve? And Steve heard your prayer?

Steve Scalise is a douche bag.
