Making matters more urgent for Democrats is that GOP nominee Tom Garrett is about as far right wingnut as you can get. According to Project Vote Smart, Garrett received a ZERO rating from NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia in 2015; a ZERO rating from Equality Virginia; a ZERO rating from the AFL-CIO; a 99% rating from the even-further-out-there-than-the-NRA Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) and 100% rating from the virulently anti-LGBT Family Foundation.
“Tom Garrett has managed to disparage the Gold Star Khan family even further, by calling their reaction to Donald Trump’s attacks ‘hurt feelings’,” said Jermaine House of the DCCC. “Garrett’s offensive remarks prove that just as Trump is unfit to be President of the United States, Tom Garrett is unfit to represent Virginians, like the Khan family, in Congress.”
Also see Sen. Tom Garrett’s legislation against fantasy sanctuary cities, Va. Sen. Garrett’s revision of anti-sodomy law advances; he says point is to protect minors, Senator Dick Black Strongly Endorses Tom Garrett for Congress (remember that Black’s the anti-LGBT and anti-abortion absolutist who just went to Syria to meet with and offer his support to that country’s war criminal President Bashar Asad); and Thomas Garrett, a legislator in Virginia, seems hell-bent on criminalizing oral sex between teenagers. That’s just a short list…it goes on and on. To put it mildly, Garrett is THE LAST thing we need in Congress.
