Minnesota GOP candidate accused of telling gay high school classmate he should 'be shot'

Another creepy weird bigot!!!

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/minnesota-gop-candidate-accused-of-telling-gay-high-school-classmate-he-should-be-shot/

Doug Wardlow (R-MN) is running for the state attorney general office, however, his high school classmates have spoken out about his prejudiced behavior, reported Twin Cities Pioneer Press.

Wardlow high school classmate Ryan Durant claimed that Wardlow bullied him for years because of his sexual orientation.

Durant claims that he was called a “f*ggot” and that Wardlow said, “people like you should be shot.”

“I hated going to school every day,” Durant said. “I wanted out of there so bad.”

Another classmate Sarah Beaulieu said that Wardlow called her “slut” and “dike.”

Wardlow has denied all the claims.

In a statement, he said, “I categorically deny these allegations about me when I was 14 years old. I never did or said anything remotely as the things alleged. Voters are tired of these 11th hour dirty tricks.”

“I categorically deny these allegations about me when I was 14 years old..."

Was he only in high school for one year? Did he know that the class mates were talking about Freshman year? His denial brings up a bunch of questions. I was in high school from the age of 14 until 18 and I can assure you that I probably used language that I am ashamed to have used. I grew up and matured. He is just doing a Kavanaugh. "Ask my buddy Tobin, I never said any of that stuff!! I was too busy lifting with Squi"
