GOP congressman who once compared LGBT people to rapists is facing a challenge from a lesbian Democr

Pink News reported that after the certification of last night’s Democratic primary in Minnesota, unchallenged candidate Angie Davis will officially challenge Rep. Jason Lewis (R-MN) for his seat in the state’s second congressional district.

The Minnesota Republican also claimed on The Jason Lewis Show that African Americans have an “entitlement mentality” and that welfare has harmed the black community worse than Jim Crow laws. He went on to claim that there’s always “trouble” where black people gather and that black-on-white crime is the root of a growing “race war” in the United States.
