Fox News Radio's Todd Starnes has suggested that President Barack
Obama is secretly gay following statements the president made in
support of gay athletes.
At
a press conference on Friday, Obama was asked whether he supports
a boycott of the Winter Olympics in Sochi over a recently approved
Russian law which prohibits the public promotion of gay rights in a
venue where minors might be present.
Obama said that he did “not think it's appropriate to boycott
the Olympics.”
“Nobody is more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and
-lesbian legislation that you've been seeing in Russia. But as I
said just this week, I've spoken out against that not just with
respect to Russia but a number of other countries where we continue
to do work with them but we have a strong disagreement on this
issue.”
In
a series of tweets, Starnes accused the president of
discriminating against heterosexual athletes and suggested that he
might be admitting to being gay.
“I just don't understand why President Obama must judge our
Olympic athletes by who they love,” Starnes messaged to his nearly
35,000 followers.
“Obama: 'Nobody's more offended than me by some of the anti-gay
and lesbian legislation.' What are you trying to say, sir?”
Starnes has previously suggested that Obama is in a relationship
with Reggie Love, the president's former body man (personal
assistant).
“Obama: 'I've got a mandate.' Reggie Love?” he tweeted last
November.
“So it turns out Reggie Love was with Obama with weekend –
while Mrs. Obama was in Aspen,” Starnes messaged in February.
In March, he added: “Obama is at Andrews Air Force Base whacking
balls with his former body man, Reggie Love.”
