How do you solve a problem like Dave Agema?
No one seems to know, but finally, Republicans are talking about it.
Agema, a former state legislator, current member of the Republican National Committee and a regular embarrassment, just can’t seem to stop talking. Most recently, he made headlines after making Facebook posts, AGAIN, that are “critical of” — ha! Let’s get real, here — that are toxic, malevolent, wrong-headed and vile, about Muslims, gays and lesbians.
(According to folks in Agema’s Facebook inner circle, he’s now claiming those posts were meant to prompt debate. Can I get a massive eyeroll?)
Agema’s said things like, no Muslim has ever made a positive contribution to this country, or that gays and lesbians are “filthy” and only supported the Affordable Care Act because they’re dying of AIDS. Real forward-thinking stuff, here. Even when the things he’s saying are contrary not just to good taste and common sense, they’re not in the best interests of his own party, which (at least sometimes) is desperately trying to attract a broader base of voters.
