AKA William

A few months back, South Carolina’s anti-gay Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer was outed by Mike Rogers (who has a 100% outing accuracy rate). Bauer, of course, denied being gay, and, you know what? The crazy-ass right-wingers can have him, especially after he recently explained how poor people are just like stray animals — they both need to be starved in order to be taught a lesson!

Via The State:

Bauer, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor, made his remarks during a town hall meeting in Fountain Inn that included state lawmakers and about 115 residents.

“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that. And so what you’ve got to do is you’ve got to curtail that type of behavior. They don’t know any better,” Bauer said.

In South Carolina, 58 percent of students participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program.

Bauer’s remarks came during a speech in which he said government should take away assistance if those receiving help didn’t pass drug tests or attend parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings if their children were receiving free and reduced-price lunches.

Bauer later non-clarified his words, explaining that people on government assistance “were animals or anything else.”
