Senate Candidate Says Americans ‘Too Interested in Homosexual Activities’ Instead of ‘Good TV Shows’ Like ‘Gunsmoke’

The Alabama Secretary of State running for the Republican nomination to fill the U.S. Senate currently held by Democratic U.S. Senator Doug Jones blasted Americans for being "too interested in homosexual activities," while lamenting the lack of "good" TV shows like "Gunsmoke" and "I Love Lucy."

John Merrill, clearly seeking to ride on President Donald Trump's coattails, hoping for days that never really happened, spoke to supporters on Saturday at the Dekalb County Republican Breakfast Club meeting.

He attributed cultural shifts in America, Yellowhammer News reports, to pop culture.

“How have we allowed it to happen?" Merrill asked. "There are no more good TV shows on like ‘Gunsmoke,’ ‘Bonanza,’ ‘The Virginian,’ ‘Andy Griffith,’ ‘I Love Lucy.’ We don’t have those shows anymore. We’re too interested in homosexual activities. We’re too interested in seeing how this family’s finding a way to mess on this family or to see how people are trying to date on TV, or having wife-swapping on TV. That’s what we watch. When we push back against that, and we quit allowing it to be in our homes – that’s how those changes have occurred because we’ve allowed them to slowly but surely come into our lives."

In 2010 Merrill reportedly had an "extramarital sexual encounter" with the wife of a friend.

1. Yes, let's go back to the 50's and 60's. Let's start with their tax rates.

4. P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N. *Someone* spends "too much" time thinking about homosexual activities,

and it is the guy speaking. It's only a problem insofar as he a) spends a lot of time thinking about it and b) thinks he shouldn't spend a lot of time thinking about it.

Most Americans spend exactly the right amount of time thinking about homosexual activities -- however much they like. Always think about it? Good for you! Never think about it? Good for you! Sometimes think about it? Good for you! I don't care how much you think about it, and neither should this weirdo.

6. You nailed it! NT

5. Why is Merrill so obsessed with gay issues? Sounds like to me he's ...

in the 'closet' still or can't come up with any other legitimate campaign issues to discuss/bash so he picks an easy target supposedly and vents his bigotry on the unfortunate group being picked on ... considering that he's fooled around reportedly on his wife, he shouldn't be talking. Bigot.

7. He's right!

We need more of those good, old shows featuring powerful bonds between attractive male buddies. Also their horses.

[skypilot]

9. And their chaps.

Definitely the chaps.

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Oh, yeah

The more leather, the better.

8. Actually, Americans watch too much crap "reality" TV like The Apprentice...

and Honey fucking Boo Boo.

Now we have a reality TV presidency.

Gee, you think there's a connection?
