Gay WalkAway NC House Candidate Says Democrats Are Agressive, Not Progressive

Peter Boykin, Republican activist, Trump supporter, President of Gays For Trump, is running for a North Carolina House seat. In his video, he says that he and his husband walked away from the Democrat Party in 2009 because the Democrats are "aggressive and regressive".  Boykin says that wants to reach the hardest individuals to tell them to leave the Democrats.  He said he wants people to walk away from the Democrat party. "It takes people from all sides to be interested in representing us.  Both sides to need to promote peace and understanding," Boykin said. Visit BoykinforHouse.com FROM HIS SITE "I hosted 4 Gay Pride Events in NC with Booths for GaysForTrump.org Including trips to 6 rallies. Also, 5 Billboards went up. 3 in North Carolina and 2 in Orlando. We calculated that with the attention and what was done in NC we gathered at least 25K more LGBTQ votes out for Trump. Trump Won in North Carolina by just such a margin as well. The goal is for media attention to show the USA and Liberals that not all of us are "good little liberal gays" and some of us are AWAKE. Why I am gay and I support Trump? Let me make this plain and simple I’m a gay man that voted for Trump. Why? I don’t want to die at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists. I am gay and for Trump, the liberal gay community preaches peace, love, and tolerance but they only extend it to people who think like they do and know that liberals would say the same exact thing about us. In fact, I receive death threats due to my support for MAGA and who I vote for. I think what needs to happen is both sides need to work together to promote peace, understanding, and tolerance so that we can talk to each other once again and exchange ideas without coming to blows with each other and then maybe we can get people to come around to Making America Great again for Everyone Together."   WATCH: https://youtu.be/_3OFDOf9Czc Read the full article
