Reporter Uses Grindr To Uncover Tons Of Gay Men At Right-Wing CPAC Gathering
Were there gays at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the annual orgy of right-wing pundits and their faithful sheep?
Reason.TV wanted to know, so they sent reporter Paul Detrick to the Gaylord National Resort in D.C. to seek out homosexual men with a tried-and-true method: Grindr.
Armed with an iPad, Detrick found a number of same-sex-attracted Republicans at the conference, and asked them what the hell they were doing there (politely, of course).
One unnamed interviewee admitted CPAC was behind the times, “because in order for conservatives to win an election, they’re going to need to get younger voters. To do that they need to start being more socially liberal—essentially they need to shift libertarian.”
Of course that guy was wearing a Ben Carson sticker, so take that with a grain of salt.

Lots of people vote against their own interests, it always amazes me! Don't worry no one got "outed"...
