Tennessee's Republican Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally has apologized for routine comments he left on the suggestive Instagram posts of a 20-year-old gay man and other members of the LGBTQ+ community.
The comments ranged from heart and fire emojis to text-based messages, like ones telling McClure,"You can turn a rainy day into rainbows and sunshine!" and"Love it," on photos in which McClure appeared scantily clad. In addition to his comments on McClure's photos, McNally also engaged with"half-naked photos of men, pictures of drag artists, and selfies of trans women" from his verified Instagram account, according to Nashville CBS affiliate Condemnation of the apparent difference between McNally's comments and his political track record was swift on social media, and"Saturday Night Live" even parodied McNally on its Weekend Update segment over the weekend.
"I believe every person has value and deserves respect regardless of their orientation," said the 79-year-old, adding that while he was raised in a time when homosexuality was condemned, he now has gay friends and a gay relative who have furthered his understanding.
Routine Comments...
Randy, why don't you just come out of the closet.
All republicans ☝️
Closet gay man. What he actually means-I’m sorry and I will try to hide my true sexual orientation better in the future while I falsely cater to evangelicals.
But Crap
Is he gay
More Tennessee, Republican family values on display. What a hypocrite. He may be showing his proclivities?
He's just a misguided good Ole Christian boy is all! 🙄
Apologized for the wrong thing.
He was funny when he lied and said any comments he made were in error. Another conservative caught not practicing so-called family values.
Ultimate Hypocrite
Disgusting.
No need to apologize. We know who you are.
Wtf is a Republican doing on a democrat Big Tech social media 'publisher'? Don't this dude know Instagram is like...TikTok or WeChat?
GOP is full of cowards, hypocrites, and apologists. Happy to not affiliate myself with that sh*t in any way.
Hypocrisy is alive and thriving in the MAGA world.
No apologies can make up for his hypocrisy! He’s a terrible person.
Just another Republican bully. He thinks that by putting others down it elevates himself.
There’s nothing wrong with leaving comments, which he did on the pages of other young men too, but it’s his hypocrisy of supporting anti-LGBTQ laws while doing it.
He’s so close
Sorry not sorry
Maybe stop pushing sexual deviancy in our faces everywhere we look?
