Mainecat Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Portrait of an American Hero: The Lesbian Minority Woman Who Saved Republican Lives By Sarah Jones on Thu, Jun 15th, 2017 at 9:46 am Both Griner and Bailey are minorities. Crystal Griner is a female minority, who just so happens to be married to a woman. In 2015, Griner married Tiffany Dyar in Baltimore. It’s not that people should be defined by their skin color, gender, or who they love. But in this case, these details are important enough to focus on for a moment. Capitol Police special agents Crystal Griner and David Bailey are widely credited with saving Republican lawmakers and staff during the horrific shooting in Alexandria, Virginia that left Representative Steve Scalise in the hospital in critical condition. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said of them during a House floor speech, “We are, as ever, awed by the tremendous bravery of the Capitol Police.” Both Griner and Bailey were wounded. Both Griner and Bailey are minorities. Crystal Griner is a female minority, who just so happens to be married to a woman. Griner married Tiffany Dyar in 2015. As ESPN’s LZ Granderson pointed out, Griner saved the life of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), who is opposed to same-sex marriage Wednesday night, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited Griner and her wife in the hospital, bringing a bouquet of flowers in thanks, according to a Pool report sent to PoliticusUSA. Griner played college basketball for Maryland’s Hood College. Griner and Bailey are heroes who rushed to save lawmakers even though they were injured themselves. Griner was shot in the ankle but is expected to recover. Too often, all of the minority categories that Griner falls into are demonized by Republicans and this is a chance to emphasize the importance of humanity, of seeing people as whole beings with a history, with dreams of their own, with loves of their own. Too many of our leaders, particularly President Trump but he’s not alone in this, are trying to divide us, to dehumanize the “other.” Wednesday, during moments of exceptional horror, these two Capitol Police special agents stepped up to do their jobs with incredible bravery and effectiveness. In honoring these heroes, people should also take a moment to consider their humanity. Consider how the laws dealt with in Congress would impact these folks who just saved their lives or the lives of their colleagues. The folks being hurt by laws bandied about in Congress aren’t nameless, bad “others.” They are sometimes people of stunning courage like Crystal Griner. Humanity matters. It’s all we have, when all else is stolen and stripped away. Instead of focusing on delegitimizing Crystal’s marriage, Republicans should take this opportunity to look into the eyes and heart of a patriot who just so happens to love someone of her own gender and do the right thing. http://www.politicususa.com/2017/06/15/portrait-american-hero-gay-minority-woman-saved-republicans.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Jesus. Another hard-hitting hack article by some live-in-the-basement "journalist", graciously posted here by the second most ignorant person on this site. If it wasn't for Racer's post, this thread would be another complete fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So funny, how Dems think they own all the gays / minorities. We are good friends with a lesbian couple that despise the left. One of the gals served honorable in the service for years and doesn't buy into any of the bullshit the left serves up and damn sure doesn't need their protection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
