Inspired by Trump, Mike Heath Announces Launch of 'F*ggots are Maggots' Tour (Right Wing Watch)

Never heard of this guy before, and very likely neither has Trump, but the Trump connection is far from contrived.

“I’m going to do a world tour,” Heath announced. “The theme is ‘Faggots are Maggots.’ The tour is inspired by the work of Donald Trump. This isn’t satire. I’m serious. I started supporting Donald Trump early in the 2016 primary for one reason: He insults his enemies. He makes things personal that deserve to be personal. The decades of leftists being the only ones allowed to make everything personal are over. It’s long past time for WASP manners to take a back seat to the truth. Long past time.”

“Faggots are indeed maggots,” he continued. “Maggots consume the rancid flesh of rotting dead things. Faggots are no different.”

Heath said that he intends to launch his tour in Washington, D.C., on June 26, 2020, which is the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Obergefell ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, and then take the tour to every capital in all 50 states.

“The subtitle for my world tour in 2020 is ‘Stump for Trump,'” Heath said. “We all need to stump from Trump or it’s all going to be over.”

.....right-wing activist Mike Heath announced that President Donald Trump’s willingness to insult people has inspired Heath to launch his own “Faggots Are Maggots” national tour.

Heath, a long–time anti-LGBTQ activist in Maine who now runs Helping Hands Ministries, has been a regular participant in Daubenmire’s daily program.

6. Sounds like he's maligning the name of the baseball player

Is he saying that gay people are are for Trump? This has not been my experience. I have not seen many gay people wearing MAGA hats. I think they are more thoughtful than that.

And yes, I am putting on a deliberately naive persona just to make fun of this idiot. And yes, the only Mike Heath I've ever heard of was a catcher. And yes, yes, yes!! that is that is the only Mike Heath people should hear about, because this other guy sounds toxic.

7. This Mike Heath the Christian Fascist from Maine is quite the toxic piece of work.

Back when Maine was trying to get protections for gays on the Maine Human Rights Commission Health fought it and fought it each and every time it came up.

Heath caused it to take a decade and one half longer to finally get the law on the books.

It was back during Reagan, pappy Jim Falwell, and the Moral Majority were hyper active, Mike Heath's Nazi Christian group The Christian Civic League of Maine was in the media almost daily with one anti gay issue or other.

The Nazi Maine Christian Civic League is an affiliate of the national Nazi group Focus on the Family.

5. I'll attempt to keep my triggered response brief.

Major PTSD trigger for me.
Yet I'll give idiots like this credit: Sometimes nutjobs on display betray their own goals, much like the Westboro media whores did.
When the self-awareness is so low that such sermons include vile descriptions, salacious details of speculation into the most private moments of others, without any regard that reciprocal speculation would be cause disgusting revulsion and pleas to desist immediately.
Not one bit of recognition of Naziesque subhuman name calling, labeling, branding.
There exists exactly zero possibility that this nutjob's hero Jesus of Nazareth would approve of this hateful tour.
