Anti-LGBT+ Republican Angela Stanton-King, who was pardoned by Trump for her involvement in a car theft ring, is running for Congress.
Stanton-King announced last week she will challenge Georgia Democratic congressman and civil rights hero John Lewis for his seat in the House of Representatives.
Stanton-King has previously spent two years in prison over federal conspiracy charges for her role in a car theft ring, but was handed a pardon by Donald Trump in February.

The Republican hopeful has a long, long history of sharing extreme anti-LGBT+ content on social media – claiming that gay men should not be allowed in men’s locker room, and struggling to understand the difference between LGBT+ people and paedophiles.
Angela Stanton-King has a disgusting anti-LGBT+ record.
Just last week, Stanton-King tweeted a meme of a rainbow handgun to the head of a man, with the message: “LGBT ‘Rights’. 1995: We want tolerance. 2005: We want equality. 2015: Bake the f##### cake, bigot. 2016: Say my pronouns or go to jail. 2020: Let me f### your 8 yo kid, pedophobe.”

Stanton-King has also publicly attacked NBA player Dwyane Wade for accepting his transgender daughter Zaya, tweeting: “If you wouldn’t want your 12 yr old daughter advertising that she enjoys sex with men/boys why your 12 yr old son? This is confusion, pedophilia, and sexual exploitation wrapped up in acceptance.”
PEDOPHILIA.
Gay means Men having sex with men.

In other messages, she wrote: “Trump’s WhiteHouse: Make America Great. Obama’s WhiteHouse: Make America Gay.”

In February she hit out at Pete Buttigieg for discussing his same-sex relationship with a young supporter, tweeting: “Why should boys as young as 9 have pride in being gay? How do they know they like the feeling of something hard being rammed up their rectum? Why would you tell a child he’s brave for liking penis? Because that’s all gay means. I’m curious.”

Republican candidate claimed child abuse turns people gay.
In more dated posts, Stanton-King displays even more extreme anti-LGBT+ animus.
In 2013, she tweeted: “You’d be surprised how many males have told me they are gay bc they were molested! This is serious!”
The same year, she wrote: “Allowing a gay male in a male locker room is just like allowing straight men in female locker rooms.”
You'd be surprised how many males have told me they are gay bc they were molested! This is serious!

That's right!!! Allowing a gay male in a male locker room is just like allowing straight men in female locker rooms… be serious— Angela Stanton-King (@theangiestanton) January 31, 2013
In 2012, she wrote: “Y’all want me 2 tell my sons it’s ok 2 be gay, naaaawww☝ I can’t do that! That’s what man says, that’s not in the Word.
“If all turn Gay then we won’t have to worry about abortions BC no children will be conceived. Its all a threat 2 the sanctity of Human life.”

In another somewhat prophetic message sent in 2012, she suggested: “If its ok 2 be gay, then it should be ok 2 lie, steal & kill, as the Bible clearly speaks against it all!”

That’s one way to justify conspiracy car theft, we suppose.
