U.S. House Rep. Glenn Thompson, of Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District, pushing hard to be one of the biggest hypocrites in the entire Republican caucus after voting against a bill to support same sex marriage, then going to his gay son's wedding.
Welcome to what is the 1150th original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’re profiling the U.S. House Representative from Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District, Glenn Thompson, who currently serves as the ranking Republican member of the House Agriculture Committee. He has served in office since 2009, originally serving in what was Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District until a court order by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court redistricted it as the 15th back in 2008.
What he’s much more infamous for these days, was voting against the “Respect for Marriage At”, which would have codified same sex marriages as legal, and then leaving Washington, D.C. to attend the wedding of his gay son to his husband. We hope that the collective guests at that wedding all came together to tell him “Sorry, no wedding cake for you. It wasn’t made for hypocrites who don’t actually support this union.”
We’ll also make note of the fact that Glenn Thompson signed on to the amicus brief to the Supreme Court to try and overturn the results of the 2020 election, and voted for the objection to certify the results in the wee hours of Jan. 7th, 2021, so seditious activities combined with his voting against his own son’s marriage make a pretty plain case that he’s a corpulent old extremist. Well, that and
his claim that the FBI was being “weaponized for political gain” because they had to serve a search warrant at Mar-A-Lago to recover classified documents stolen by Donald Trump.
But hey, if you need more, he’s the rest of the low lights of his voting record since he took office:
Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District has a staggering +25 Republican lean in the Cook Partisan Voting Index, making it an unlikely district to flip for Democratic candidate Michael Molsevich, and a more-than-likely scenario that a bloated tick on American politics like Glenn Thompson can continue in Congress for another two years. We’re hoping at least, that his Thanksgiving dinners are a hostile experience when his son has to ask why his father tries to deny him his human rights whenever he has the opportunity.
